Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

The type of Christian who asks atheists how they don't like, murder people on the reg are so funny to me because they seem to think their religion makes them the Peak of Morality when statements like "if you don't believe in God how comes you don't do X thing" all but outright state they have no idea why shit like murder and rape is bad except that God doesn't like it lmao. Like way to admit you have no intrinsic sense of morality and need to be afraid of a higher power to be a decent person, but I promise if you're not a piece of shit it's actually very natural not to want to do heinous evil shit all the time potential punishment from a higher power or not 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

#winters ramblings #seriously its SO funny when that happens because every time its like ??? the FUCK kind of thoughts do you have #to ask HOW i resist doing evil shit all the time because i dont fear god because i dont believe in God?? #what kind of fucked up person do you haveto be to only resist killing people because of fear of a higher power?? #these are people to avoid because typically they also come with the issue of using their religion to make any action they want #perfectly Good and Moral because GOD said it its in the BIBLE whether thats true or not and like bible or no #if you have no intrinsic sense of morality i dont want to hear about atheist morality from you lmao #not that athiests lack issues i swear to god white dudes who evangelize atheism like its their new religion #have WILDLY missed the point and often suffer the same problem as the aforementioned Christians #wherein the onky thing thats ever given them any kind of pushback is the church so they decide RELIGION is horrible and bad as a whole #which isnt true religion can be a perfectly lovely amazing thing for people but that brand of atheist #doesnt seem to understand that people turned away from the church because of wide spread abuse and discrimination not because #believing in god makes you literally mentally ill like some of these fuckos act like. abelist AND shite to religious folks in one fowl swoop #so you know atheists have problems too but like they arent making laws in their beliefs images across the world so you know #temper the criticism with how influential the group actually is although richard dawkins types DID get a lot of space to spew their idiocy #like dawkims if you think youre SOOOO much smarter than christians how come you have ALL the same misogyny problems?? #youre not that smart and logical if youve decided a whole kind of person is inherently less than you buddy. in fact thats very Christian #of him actually. funny when that happens but again if you dont actually know WHY something is a problem #its very easy to say Thats Bad and then literally do the exact same thing you just condemned because when YOU do it its no longer bad #because its got YOUR flavor of fucked up morality on it now instead of being like hmm maybe Christianity isnt a problem #because it EXISTS but because a lot of people use their religion as a pointed barb to discriminate against huge swaths of people #and often the intolerance becomes a legal issue when Christians and other religious majorities shove through laws based on EXCLUSIVELY their #religions and opinions and that doesnt mean religion should be dismantled it means we ahould tell religious folk who would know what #morality was if it fucked them up the ass to shut up and figure out what morality is outside of rekigion before they start legislating about #it and whatnot. also i wish extreme opinions werent ALL the news focused on exclusively on the political right #can we platform some NORMAL well adjusted christians who are god loving AND not a bunch of wingnuts #who are two steps away from arguing thou shall not kill only applies to people they LIKE because they dont seem to understand #maybe murder is bad when EVERYONE does it not just The Bad People??!?!

“Carmine is not the worst” and “kieran is not the worst” are statements that can and should co-exist

#Its always either “carmine did nothing wrong kieran is a stupid unhinged brat!” Or “kieran did nothing wrong carmine is literally abusive!!” #No. Theyre not. Neither of them are. Theyre just nd/mentally ill and cope with it badly #Its really not that hard come on #Also as an older sister with a younger brother a lot of the mean dialogue is pretty typical #Obviously that doesnt negate the fact that for kieran it hit him in his issues but he never spoke up about it and kept it to himself #And carmine is pretty dense and a bit in her own head so it makes sense that she wouldnt notice without being directly told #And with her specifically its made clear in dialogue throughout that she does care about her brother #She thinks about how in her mind things might affect him and chooses what she thinks is the option that wont hurt him. Though obviously #shes not the best judge there. But thats understandable she isnt very good at reading people #And kieran just doesnt know how to cope with his problems. When stuff gets too much he bursts and lashes out. A normal thing for a teenager #Obviously this now frightens carmine and she starts backing down distancing herself and generally just closes up around him #Because while she is abrasive she doesnt really *realize* she is. And its easy to see kierans abrasiveness as something inherently hostile #(Because even if he doesnt really mean it it still is aggressive) #Hey wait a second why am i infodumping about kieran and carmine pokemon in my tags #This is like the worst way to do it. Sorry cutting it short ty for reading if you did #ghosts howling

cant stand other people talking about my blorbos. someone with the best intentions could be talking about my gay autist and i’ll get so irrationally mad when they blame something on him being gay when its actually the autisms fault

#does this make sense to anybody #this is why im so terrible at making friends in fandom #if somebody is wrong (misaligned from my views) about a character or a cc or a story arc #i literally do not want to even see them on my dash #which is crazy because its so antithetical to the way that i act irl #like im genuinely so easy going and im totally chill to work with & be around ppl who i dont necessarily get along with #i guess its probably Because im so chill irl that when i have a space that i can actually curate and influence #i take that opportunity to be super picky #idk!!!! #all of this to say that i feel extremely lucky to have found a group of ppl who literally never get it wrong #LOL #also i will not give context to this post because the focal point is my own absurdity and not. somebodys (correct) take lmfao

[steelycunt]

ridi im sorry i need to rant and i think youll get it 😭 like not to be a bitch but this fandom kinda going off the rails and annoying the shit out of me https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbYASpf/ everybody in the comments unironically loving it,,, i mean wtvr ship who you want but its kinda getting delusional like ppl are just operating on thin air and pretty fancasts atp and i do Not understand or emotionally connect with any of it. at least w wolfstar theres so much material and foundation to explore but what is all the rest of this?? just hot celebrity fancasts and crack. to be fair part of me respects taking a terfs canon material and making everybody gay but the way it seems to be so oversaturating fics and the fandom that characters dont even feel like their original selves .. atp its all just surface level OCs

hello! yes! i'll be honest talking about things like this always make me a little nervous, and i feel obligated to preface anything i say with a disclaimer that none of it really matters, nothing i say matters, and you should do what you like, because--who cares. i am not an authority on--anything, frankly. my opinion holds no more weight than the next guy's, and all i'm doing here is giving it, so. essentially what im saying is--people are perfectly entitled to disagree with me, but people are not entitled to be mean to me about it xx

having said that. it is my personal opinion that s x barty is one of the worst fucking things i have ever heard lol. who even is barty who is that guy. why would s be interested in him at all. i do not understand it it does not make sense to me. from where are we sourcing the character traits and personality that we are giving barty that would ever endear sirius to him, because it objectively cannot be canon.

overall i do not get the new interest in barty + evan + pandora (+ regulus, but we won't go there)...at all, other than guessing that people were bored with the marauders and wanted a new version of them (and new celebrities to fancast) while simultaneously changing next to nothing about them other than superimposing them onto the first slytherin side characters they could rustle up. i expect ive become a bit of a broken record in regards to my dislike of the popular meow-meow-ification + complete absolution of regulus as a character in order to make him a loveable oc (just as i think erasing all the negative traits that r/s have in order to make them more likeable is just as boring), and all of that applies to those other guys as well (with the slight difference that they are, somehow, even less interesting and significant than regulus in canon), so i won't get into that too much. but i think what you say about having no emotional connection to any of it is exactly right lol--it is a sort of shift? i guess? in the fandom that is simply of no interest to me. they are characters that i just have no emotional investment in and admittedly struggle a little to understand why other people do. i am emotionally invested in, like, five characters overall (and even out of those--there's only two i'm really here for innit xx) and i personally cannot extend that investment to a creepy little side character who is mentioned maybe twice in the entire series.

and that is okay! i do not need to understand it. i don't want to say it annoys me because honestly--i don't go there, its nothing to do with me. if i dont like it i just wont interact with it, and the fact that it doesn't interest me has no bearing on what other people are into or want to do, and i couldn't give less of a shit what people do with the canon material, which is largely garbage anyway. take the bits you want from it, play around with those and ignore the rest. in that respect we are all doing exactly the same thing. but yeah i think s x barty is genuinely awful lol. hate it. very terrible. he's already got a loser werewolf boyfriend and he loves him so so much. leave him alone.

#i know most people are reasonable and thus it is perhaps overly cautious of me to insist on shrouding my unpopular #opinions in like. layer upon layer of placatory disclaimers but. well im a rather anxious guy i can't help it xx but im going to use these #tags to have a bit more of a consequence-less hater hour so. if you like regulus or barty or any of that lot i suggest you look away now #because i am about to express opinions about them that you probably wouldnt agree with + wouldnt enjoy reading!! #like full warning what im about to do is NOT any sort of analysis or defence of my opinion i will just be hating on them. is that clear. #okay. having said that. hater hour. barty and evan and honestly regulus were all cunts? like they were terrible people why do we care #about them now. regulus interests me solely as a piece of context for sirius' character. i could not give less of a shit about him as a #person in his own right. which leads me to my next hater moment: why oh why oh WHY on earth would canon james potter be interested #in canon regulus black. it makes sense in like a muggle au where they are virtually completely different characters but canon? #why would he be attracted to him. there is nothing. there is no chemistry i am ASLEEP and so is james. he would not give that #guy a second look. like it just baffles me it truly does. i feel like you have to bend over backwards to create a situation in which #james potter would ever show an interest in regulus. and i know jegulus is a fucking force to be reckoned with nowadays but god i just #do not like that ship. also i think the fact that barty and pandora and evan are essentially just oc characters who have been coloured #in by general fanon consensus shows in that what they have become is just. not interesting or complex or well fleshed out lol. like #idk i feel like they are just. very shallow. deliberately. so they are easy to like and easy to ship because that is what theyre there for. #god it feels so good to say all this. i will never be a hater again (<- lying) but i needed to be able to just. say this just once xx #also if you needed any more indication what barty and evan and regulus are here to do you just have to look at their #super-hot super-conventionally attractive celebrity model fancasts. like it all adds up its like but what if these death eaters were #not actually evil :-( what if they were really sweet and also? so so hot. like they were all so hot and actually really good #and none of them meant to be evil they didnt want to be :-( they were just hot good guys all in love with each other and the evil stuff #they did wasnt their fault :-( like that has to be. the most boring thing you couldve possibly done with these blank slates. surely. #anyway. im done now but i enjoyed hater hour immensely this was so fucking good for my soul xx thanks and goodnight xx #anon #telegram #scream hang on sorry. just looked at the comments of that tiktok where people are saying they were prison besties. girl. girl. #girl they were in prison for very different reasons baby. baby you know that right. baby look at me. look at me

#vicki's shit #like i have 0 motivation to do anyhting #but i have shit to do in order to get grades and go to a decent college and have a good jobs so i can leave here and support myself. #i barely have anytime for myself and my “friends” #and it sucks #because i HAVE to get these grades #i have so many people counting on me #i dont really remember the last time i didn't have like someone counting on me to do something #like why me? #and i cant let them down #its just all so much #i barley hav anytime just sit and rest #my mind will not stop worrying that because im not doing anything im a failure and i don't have enough time! #we all have limited time and im wasting it here??? #and its all craxy here since i llive in the same region to palestine and all the news is bad and everyone is sad and i'm not blaming anyone #but my heart is always beating to much and i hate it #does that make sense? #i just feel like a failure because i get tired easy but i cant feel like that because the entire ficking world is conting on me #i dont remmeber the last time i could just breathe without someone breathing down my back #like give me a break!!! #i sound so ungrateful wtf #im sorry #vick's shit

Manga haul from yesterday

#prince's talk tag #i promise this wont be an every week thing #i went back to the city yesterday to buy a beloved game from my childhood and decided to hit up the bookstores again #i said i wouldnt go overboard but mission failed lolol #i was happy to find the second volume of t/okyo m/ew m/ew o/mnibus bc i couldnt find it anywhere #and im really enjoying w/itch h/at a/telier in both art and story so i decided to collect it #i wasnt gonna get w/ot/akoi but 1) i found out the english version combines two volumes into one so its only 6 volumes long #and 2) the 6th volume cover was an exclusive at the bookstore i got it from (which was kinokuniya) #and comparing it to the regular cover i thought the exclusive was cuter so i decided why not #i also got more volumes of b/lue f/lag but the thing is i got those volumes from barnes and noble #and the thing about the bnn i went to is to prevent people stealing them they put security stickers in the book #but sometimes they put them over panels or worse a page of black ink #so taking off the sticker is easy but it does take some of the pigment off and it annoys me #like i get it but you're kinda ruining the book #the miku book is an artbook of Kei's art and i had to get it bc i love his miku artwork #seeing them in thr p/roject d/iva makes me happy #its 95% miku and 5% the rest of thr cryptonloids which makes sense bc the book IS called mikulife #but yea imma cool it with purchases now #im getting a book shelf tomorrow so i can finally put them away instead of having them on my dresser

I cannot believe I just had to met Fray to understand what vent art mean... I feel so free. Is this what the true meaning of the drk questline? Hello can anyone hear me?

#first: hes making me get better at armour but thats not even the point #THIS IS SO SILLY BUT WTF why is it so easy doing messy free unhinged flowy drawings with him? what sorcery is this? #is it because I don't have to draw mouth? but I also don't have to draw noses and i love drawing noses..... #I'm 50/50 with eyes and its working in every doodle I've done with him like this doesn't make sense #im staring at my drawing like hello? sir? u hear me? how do u do that? #my sketchbook has been like 90% xiv since I started playing but it is kinda funny having wholesome azem in one page #and then messy writtings of “dont you just go ape shitt?” above fray doodles on the next one #obsessed with his armor.......... i dont want to get drk to lvl 80 like i dont want this quest line to end........ #i miss him already (did lvl 70 quest two days ago) #ishkawa is so insane for creating him I'm like a believer that she knows the perfect recipe of mixing annoying/insane/cool in male character #and she plays with this like toys #sidurgu is more annoying (affectionate) and fray is more insane (affectionate) but they are both just cool. #the same go to shb characters like emet is the prime of annoying and insane both and still she gets him right. how does she even do that. #man written ishikawa am I right guys.......... i need them all actually #wait what was this txt post abt again? anyway #kelly says #dl

Oh I forgot how much I loved the great league pokemon go battles, go my freaks annoy the fuck out of these strangers

#gamer txt. #people keep forfeiting on beyblade #and that makes sense yeah i can use mirror shot every 3 atracks and thise attacks are quick #beyblade is the resident 'fuck your shields' guy and i am very willing to stall and do chip damage until you use your shields #but that doesnt mean you need to forfeit i have no defense against fire types make me use all my shields lets go neck and neck #it is Very fun when im fighting someone and weve both used all our shields so now its all down to speed strats and luck #i actually enjoy losing these fights alot too! if i lost that means tge other person was trickier than me and that's great! #why do so many people forfeit on me... youre really just looking for an easy fight? thats not fun #someone had this crazy bulky venasaur and yeah meowdy could kill it easy but it couldnt hurt beyblade. so i shield stalled #they used one and then took the rest of the mirror shots i eventually got them to red but beyblade was at half #a fire or fighting type would kill i wouldnt be able to switch fast enough #and they forfeited! why?? its just been beyblade v. venasaur and they were both holding it together- it took 5 mirror shots #that couldve been a really fun fight man...

[elftwink]

obviously while dming dnd you want your storyline to be cohesive so your players really feel like their actions have consequences and the world is a living breathing thing but sometimes i see dms getting really wrapped up in the perfect accuracy of the world and i think it’s important to remember that it’s fine and even encouraged to lie to your players. even when it’s mildly self-contradictory or you might have to retcon it later. just make that shit up. especially if no players are taking notes. like if they *should technically* find something out from an ability but you didn’t want them to know yet. just dont tell them. they wont remember that you omitted that detail 6 sessions later when it finally actually comes up. they have no idea what’s in your session plan document. just lie its quick its easy and its free

#good idea generator #saw a tiktok vid that was like 'i had to reveal to my players a hidden dragon for their far future bc the ranger used primeval awareness' #and i was like?? lie about it?? especially if you're not planning on this coming up for a few levels?? #worst come to worst you'll have to make up a reason why the ranger couldn't sense the dragon and thats easy you make that up too #like oh this is a special dragon. one of its abilities is to hide from any kind of divination or tracking magic #what are they gonna say?? that youre not allowed to give the pretend dragon special powers??? #like i wouldnt lie about that to get the drop on players that's like. rude and unfair #and sometimes it is more fun to let them discover things you may not have planned for them to discover but like #if it is throwing a big wrench in your plans. it is ok to lie. thats what the whole game is #as long as you're lying so they have more fun instead of less fun

[computerpeople]

Do any of your alters have different voices?

no and yes, so the few i can audibly hear and hallucinate the voices of (nero is the only one i can think of) has a specific voice, which is actually why i thought i had DID when i was 15 because thats when i first started hearing that. which then got ruled out as psychosis. he sounds like aloise trancys english dub. but when im hearing them as "inner thinking" no, because i don't think in sound my inner monologue isn't spoken it's. like. words. like i dont see the words but its the same feeling you get when youre reading and you start "hallucinating" to the reading youre doing, like with a book? like its just already there

#i usually have like 2-5 trains of thought going at once #which makes actually communicating really fucking hard #typings easy but thats why i type so much because i have like 400 things to say and its all different topics but when i actually need to #message people directly or talk out loud or process what people are saying to me it can get really hard #who knows which disorder that is i have like 10 different thought disorders #but thats why i can post like a mad man but actually talking to people is hard because theres always like #6 different conversations and 2 different songs playing in my head #and then when i have to talk to people i have to compress that all down into a single person saying words and also translate all of it #into words that make sense and make sure they MAKE SENSE to the other person #because if i dont do that then i just start word salading at them #txt

i wish i was better at having friends

#and that includes both making and keeping them #like i love the idea of friendship #but in reality? i honestly don't think i'm capable of having more than one close person in my life #i literally have 3 irl friends #1 i actually talk to regularly #and i've known for most of my life so its easy #1 i talk to maybe once a month and it's fun #and one i force myself to hang out with maybe every two weeks so I interact with someone who is not a cashier at żabka #and it would be great to have more people in my life but it's so much work #and you have to talk to them out loud which I suck at #and they might want physical contact which i hate #so what even is the point #honestly this is also kind of how i feel about romantic relationships #i would love to know what that feels like #in theory #because when i imagine myself in those situations? no thank you #idk if any of this makes sense #who needs friends when you can just rant in the tags on tumblr dot com #why am i like this
