#it's still bad

For anyone who was following this drama, it turned out that the roommate's friend isn't pregnant, we're all relieved, thank you all so much for offering up resources and advice, it helped me calm down for sure.

#potential horror resolved #it's still bad #but it's not the worst

Screw it, I'm petty. Mostly Book Accurate Theo colour picked from his own outfit. Proof below:

That was Headmaster Theodore: He put everything out there. He had clearly worked hard to get his body into peak physical condition, and he wanted to show it off. A flowing gray-blue cape, the color of a stormy sky, was clasped around his shoulders with a silver chain. He had a silver belt with a round buckle, matching his boots, and bright white slacks with deep side pockets, all carefully orchestrated to draw even more attention to himself.

#rwde #I think the worst thing about this is that #it's still bad #but I think it's somehow more cohesive then the official concept art #stupid white spandex pants #why's he covered up anyway at least let him show his collarbones where's his 'putting everything out there' energy #personally I also would have gone for less desaturated blues overall but I didn't want to waste more time on this #rwby-edit #mod watts

Just because it's not a "happy ending" doesn't mean it's not taking the easy way out.

What pisses me off is that the truth is that Loki absolutely takes the easy way out. It hides behind the brainwashed excuse. I will never stop saying everyone in the TVA presents way too much freedom of thought to say "Oh, they were brainwashed" and otherwise act like they were poor misled people. That's what it does when it shows everyone in the TVA normal happy people in their past lives. It would have been a million times more interesting if the past showed that Mobius was not a good person.

Agents of SHIELD really had so much better writing that MCU right now never could come close. That farmwork arc really gets me because hits with the fact how circumstances really shape someone. Fitz having the absolute existential breakdown over the person he could have been is heartbreaking. On the flipside Grant Ward, seeing that he could been a good person is almost tragic. It is a story that really live by the idea of good isn't a thing that you are it's a thing that you do. It does not take the easy way out and say these are good people tricked into fascism. No, it shows it is circumstances and someone own choices that shape them into the people they are.

AoS was so much more interesting that Grant wasn't an inherently bad person and Fitz wasn't an inherently good person. In the present life Fitz is a goodhearted hero and Grant planted his feet in the ground and continued down a path down cruelty and ego. It shows how life can shape people, good is not a thing you are. It's a thing you do. But Loki2021 does not do that in any kind of significant way. Fitz has a breakdown over learning the cruelty he's capable of and he didn't even hurt anyone real. Mobius tortures Loki in season, then is complicit in torture in season 2, and everyone in-universe and out talks about him like he is such a nice guy.

The sad thing is Loki2021 could been a deep statement on how "no one is immune to propaganda". If this show didn't hate Loki so much and decided the New York invasion was because Loki was angry at Daddy it could have made a parallel to how just like Loki, Mobius fell for an enigmatic figure promising him purpose and power. It could have been such a strong story about how people fall down the pipeline into fascism. But it doesn't because it takes the easy way with its characters. They thought the ends justified the means. They thought they were doing the right thing so they're not bad people. They were just following orders.

The show ends with the TVA still exciting. The people rebuilding "changing" it are the same people for hundreds of years did not think twice when wiping trillions of people from existence. People who did not think twice when putting collars around people's necks, stripping them, and having their "crimes" listed to them with no chance of being proved innocent or being let go. Don't worry now that they know the truth these people can be trusted to make the right decisions. Don't worry, now the TVA will only hurt the right people.

I'm tired of correcting mistakes over and over again. I want this sketch to stay like this. I put too much time and effort into it. If you don’t look at the work for a long time, then it may not seem so bad to you (for me it’s still terrible, but as I said, “I want this sketch to stay like this”)

something that I've been thinking about is when girls say 'omg i hate men sm' (mostly pinterest girls) (also that's another issue on its own). it makes my wonder, where do i fall into that? i look like a woman and until i get surgery no one will recognise me as a man if if i dont tell them. so when i do start taking testosterone, will you hate me too? or am i an exception? will i stop being the exception when i start looking like a man? when you finally think of me as a man? or will i always be a woman in your eyes? will i just be your weird friend, a woman playing make believe till i get socially accepted as a man?

#adam talks #transmisandry #terfs dni #also if someone says that im 'devaluing misogyny' or so shit #you need to realise that bith misogyny and misandry are bad #even if misogyny is at level 10 of 'not good meter' and misandry at 3 #it's still bad #they should both be at fucking zero

[id: text reading, "So, you may understand the tinge of frustration felt when, alongside every acknowledgement of the overwhelming and undeniable good Anne did in her life, historians feel obliged to pick her true intentions to pieces.

"Did she campaign for the people because she genuinely cared, or was it merely a ploy to outshine Katherine of Aragon's own charitable pursuits?" end id.]

how dare historians... [checks notes] question why Anne Boleyn did the things she did

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance

#dan and phil fanfiction changed me #come into my lady door #and teen me saw that and went “i need to be that so fuckan bad” #i wanted to be dan but now that im a mature adult i understand that phil is better. phil guy 5ever nowadays #do i tag this as dan and phil. i still dont know tumblr site tagging norms and im like a year in now #dan and phil #dnp #phan

see 0 note flop posts aren't that bad when they're personal but 0 note fandom posts feel literally so bad. like if you don't wanna play toys with me anymore just say that. i'll pack up my super cool awesome things and go and i'll sit on the other side of the playground by myself and i won't even look at you. fuck

#yes i AM thinking about a particular post. no it wasn't that good but still. a moment of heartache for sure #like it feels so bad but im too prou dto delete it and also too lazy

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.

Bonus:

#My art #One Piece #Nico Robin #Sir Crocodile #Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD #According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went* #Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life #They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay #But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world #This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER #You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized #Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao #She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

I'll totally take the word of an asshole who actively engaged in hate blogging towards Benedict Cumberbatch and his fans. I have the fucking receipts. And #MSNBC is an absolute JOKE! I would not be surprised if the only reason they brought on #RonnaDaniels was for drama and clicks. As for #RachelMaddow who openly cried and kicked, like a child, on air, when Bernie Sanders lost the presidential nomination. That's all I think about when I see her face; A Champagne Socialist cosplaying as a journalist.

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

#also if it wasnt clear this isnt ‘its bad its lazy’ there is a level of like #completion consistancy i am thinking for with this #personally i really do not enjoy the like. vintage chic long red nails fur coats noir esque aesthetic HOWEVER 💥💥💥 #i can recognize that it is put together it is Intentional #i feel like a lot of people are going to say minimalism on this so LET ME SAY 🫰☝️ i recognize that minimalism is Considered an aesthetic #but i *PERSONALLY* do not consider it an aesthetic i consider it the void of one #it is a lapse in aesthetic or personality in the same way a silence in a song is still technically a ‘beat’ but no music is played #however the importance of Space or Breath in design is more akin to a purposeful silence in music #because that silence matters in the same way rhythm and breath in design do #so i guess minimalism is more comparable to like. white noise. the sound of a fan #very little effort and there is a comfort in it i suppose but its not. A Design. okay #TO ME 🤫 #if minimalism has one hater its me if minimalism has no haters im dead

okay tumblr’s exclusion from the twitter social media ban list is hilarious but genuinely we do not belong on there. if a real human person asks “where can i find you on social media” and your choice is a swift death or revealing your tumblr, most of us would simply expire. half of y’all change urls every week like you’re in witness protection. just imagine for one second attaching your wholeass government name to your latest two am clownposting and tell me that didn’t send a cold chill down your spine. the only place i ever want to see the words “connect with me on tumblr!” is on the ao3 profile of an author i’m actively stalking. anyone in the world can follow me except anyone i personally know. antisocial media.

#with apologies to beloved mutuals ekjohnston and adibkhorram but this post had to be made #you are braver than any marine etc #i revealed my url recently to some very nerdy lifelong blood-oath level friends and lost feeling in my hands for like six hours #we read each other's livejournals during our peak Dramatic Feelings And Bad Choices years and it still gave me pause #rip twitter #that tumblr lyfe #containment breach
