[uncanny-tranny]

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

#politics #i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA #as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD #and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually! #i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol #i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually #i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases... #...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety... #...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety... #...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks #distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D #i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

I am so disgusted by what Rings of Power did to Galadriel.

First of all, according to canon, Galadriel was the one who didn't trust Annatar. She was literally one of the few Elves who was suspicious of him. Celebrimbor is the one who Sauron most successfully manipulated. So what does Rings of Power do? It has Galadriel be completely tricked and manipulated by Sauron the whole time, of course. But it doesn't stop there... it also gives them a completely bizarre and unjustifiable romantic relationship. Seriously, what the hell?

Even if it weren't for Celeborn—you know, the guy Galadriel is actually married to, the one who gave her that name—it's literally canon that she wasn't fooled by Annatar. She wouldn't have a fucking will-they-won't-they romantic relationship with him, either.

And this storyline isn't just completely against canon, it also fucks up her story arc. Because now in the Rings of Power version of the story, Galadriel's temptation with the One Ring is just about a man she was romantically attached to. And her repudiation of Sauron is just her rejecting him.

In Tolkien's actual writing, Galadriel was not tricked by Sauron, and she hated him, and when it comes to the temptation of power it had nothing to do with a personal (let alone romantic) relationship with Sauron—why do I have to spell this out? She desired a realm of her own to rule, and the One Ring tempted her because with it she would have been able to delay the fading of Lothlórien.

But no. Amazon just has to shoehorn in some creepy romantic relationship between Galadriel and Sauron OF ALL PEOPLE. What the fuck. Who the hell thought this was a good plotline? Shitty writers always do this—they're like ooh look at me, I'm going to write a female main character, and then they make her entire plotline subservient to a man.

(This isn't even touching on all the other things wrong with the portrayal of Galadriel, like how the showrunners call her "young Galadriel" but she's literally older than most of the other characters in the show. Or how she's shown as this bratty young woman who has zero skill with diplomacy, instead of the wise leader she would be by the time of the Second Age. Or how she's canonically tall and athletic, but she's portrayed by a short, petite actress. Or how she's related to the Teleri, who had their boats stolen after the First Kinslaying, but in the show she tries to steal a boat...)

But seriously, a romantic relationship between Galadriel and Sauron? I knew this show was going to be shit, but wow. They really outdid themselves with this.

#rings of power #rejectringsofpower #anti rings of power #to be clear I'm not hating on people who happen to want to write fanfic about the characters - you do what you want #but this stupid tv show has touted itself on being true to Tolkien #and this is NOT true to Tolkien #and no I am not watching it - I have not watched a single episode #but unfortunately the news of this nonsense filters through the internet #my writing

Would Thierry like to receive a flower crown?

❝ 'HHEM, excuse me. Uh--! Unfortunately, I don't think that sort of thing would last long in a place like this, if it lasts long... at all. No water, no other means of preservation beyond throwing it out back & simply... letting the soil take it back. So... ❞

❝ I'm afraid I'll have to. Respectfully. Decline. ❞

Yo watch this *blocks artists I don’t like and filters tags according to my interests without engaging any further*

#as long as no one is directly harmed #blocking and filtering with ZERO engagement is 100% easier on everyone #including yourself #especially yourself I promise #I’ve had to filter a lot of stuff after joining rise again #and a part of me wants to react #but the other part of me has shit to do and doesn’t want internet fights to be on my mind #like ever.

WHY EVERYONE SUDDENLY STARTED TO HATE NINAKATE?????

I THOUGHT WE ALL LOVED OUR FELLOW LESBIANS, WHY DO YOU FEEL CRINGE NOW?????

I don’t think it’s everyone!! I think the ship just isn’t that popular to begin with, but me my friends and my anons like it! But it is REALLY random. Totally get why people might be thrown off unless they’re in the same bubbles as me LOL

I just love it cuz 1. Fits perfectly in my AU 2. I love butch/femme couples 3. My fave songs work perfectly for Ninakate 4. They fit tropes I like 5. THEYRE ME AND MY GF!!!

I think it’s okay if people don’t ship it and even if people hate it HAHA it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s cool! If people are making you feel uncomfortable over a fictional ship come to my inbox I will do a mspaint Ninakate doodle. Trust. I got u.

#asks #it only makes me uncomfortable when the dislike is clearly about me/my work HAHA just stings bit cuz it feels more personal BUUUT #i always just block/filter stuff! its never that deep #always cater your internet experience to yourself! im really sorry you felt frustrated!

This has been on my mind for a while, I don’t know if it’s exactly a sane theory but here it goes.

Why does everyone call the moon pool by the same name?

The 1950s mermaids, called it the moon pool, as shown by Max and Ms Chatham referring to it as such (I’m not sure if the name of the moon pool is referenced in the flashbacks.)

Cleo, Rikki and Emma even from a different time than the 1950s mermaids also called it the moon pool. This was in the early episodes pre-Ms Chatham, suggesting that they also came up with the same exact name as the original mermaids fifty years previously. This is shown when Emma finds the locket S1E4 and says, “Whatever is in [the locket] is long gone. But I found it at the bottom of the moon pool.” Am I the only one who finds this crazy like-

Also another point, imagine seeing the moon pool for the very first time. It’s not really the first word that comes to mind, is it? I always thought it would make more sense for the girls to be calling it ‘the sea cave’ or something of the sort before Ms Chatham revealed to them the actual name of the location that then the girls would adopt. But that doesn’t happen?

(That’s actually what I thought happened with Ms. Chatham until I rewatched the show and it turned out that my brain just filled in the blanks.)

Mako Mermaids also has it named the moon pool since the very start, even with their mermaids coming from a completely different backgrounds and cultures having lived all of their lives at sea. Even though the h2o world and the mako mermaids world never came together other than sharing lore except that one time Rikki came to Mako mermaids we don’t talk about that they call it the exact same name. It was also originally made to be a prequel which adds to this question.

What is the coincidence of three previously unconnected groups of people all arrive to the exact same name even so many years apart?

Canonically, the moon pool is sentient. Would it be that crazy to say that the moon pool tells mermaids it’s name?

#Idk that’s my headcanon but let me know what yall think #h2o: just add water #h2o jaw #mako island #h2o just add water #correct me if i’m wrong #just discovered the color filters on tumblr very cool :) #what’s not cool is that videos take a long time to upload but that might be my shitty internet

What this website really needs is a button that will allow me to filter all y/n content out of my feed so I don't ever have to see it because I absolutely can't stand it, my ass does not want to be in a relationship with my favorite characters my ass wants them to be dating each other

#also no salt at people who do like it it's just really not my personal perference #it just kinda icks me out #also y/n is just awkward to read I'm sorry but it is #(also if u see me posting I wish X was my bf/gf/nbf no u don't and it's a theoretical anyway) #I don't want to read fic about me and Character X #I want to read fics about Character X and Character Y and in some cases Character Z #ALSO IF THERE IS A BUTTON THAT DOES THAT ROAST ME GENTLY #and I don't mean the filtered tags thing bc you can still see the posts in ur feed u just can't look at them #I know it's a semantic difference but it would also be irritating to scroll through a character tag #and be seeing THIS POST CONTAINS FILTERED CONTENT in every two to three posts #anyway that's my little grumble for the evening #once again: no salt to people who like this stuff that's not what we're here for I'm glad it makes them happy #this is literally just my own personal feelings do not assign other motives to it bc I will throw worms at you #that just feels like a thing u have to say on the internet sometimes #martianbugsbunny opines
