#nerd yells

[myosotisa]

some of y'all have seriously forgotten that Eddie is an absolute loser who doodles dragons on every single piece of paper he can get his hands on

#like yes he is also metal #and wears alt clothing #but most importantly he is a dungeons and dragons nerd who would rules lawyer you #he does lil dances in the lunch room while yelling about his anti manifesto #some of yall saw the rings and the ability to hotwire a car and decided to make him a cool guy #he is not #stranger things #eddie munson

[allonsy-gabriel]

I'm watching the new dirty laundry and lemme tell ya. I've never felt more seen than when aabria iyengar, surrounded by her nerd-ass nerd friends, looked absolutely shocked and appalled when liam said he didn't care about sports. like obviously they don't care. absolutely they don't. it still hurts my feelings!!!

#anyways SOMEONE LET ME YELL ABOUT BASKETBALL WITH YOU #the thunder haven't been good since the obama administration. i am suffering. #we have TWO GUYS named jalen williams!!! TWO!!! #anyways. thanks you aabria for representing Nerds Who Are Big On Sports <3

hey roach, no answer needed, but i'd value your perspective. i was talking to a friend about gender, and we got stuck. he said that statistically men are more common in certain manual jobs due to physiological differences - differences that are important to acknowledge in the effort towards true equality. i said that men and women are more alike than not, and if we focus on the differences that's all we see. is there anything you'd add to this? i respect your opinion, is all. have a lovely day!

men are more common in certain manual jobs largely due to HISTORICAL AND PRESENT DAY DISCRIMINATION AND RAMPANT UNCHECKED SEXUAL ABUSE OF THE WOMEN THAT DO SHOW UP.

like, yes, there's certainly a lot of women's jobs that don't involve manual labor, and arguably a lot of women work jobs that don't involve manual labor. but like so do finance jobs, programming, engineering, trucking, data entry, being a fucking CEO? which are male dominated, but are mostly done sitting down.

there's a lot of jobs thought of as feminine, like nursing and waitressing, that involve hauling ass all fucking day, and this is not thought of as hard manual labor, because women do them. similarly, keeping house? cooking, cleaning, caring for children, getting groceries, running errands: these are not sedentary tasks for weak little ladies. this is exercise.

it's like the low pay. women don't take low paying jobs. women are paid less than men, regardless of the job they take. women don't take 'easy' jobs that 'aren't physical'. they're considered to have easy, non-physical jobs because they are seen as weak.

i gained a lot of weight and muscle going into welding, because HRT made it faster and easier for me to get the benefit of the strength training i was deliberately putting myself through. if i had stayed a girl, i would still have become just as strong. it would simply have taken me longer. even now, five or six years in, i don't have the skeletal build for pronounced upper body strength, but i have the ass of a dump truck, and the thighs of two more dump trucks. i can lift whatever i need as long as i can use core strength to heft it, no manly biceps necessary. there's no reason i couldn't be doing the same thing as a woman. one of my friends who is a nurse hauls people around all day and they can pick ME up without trying and they've never done T at all.

tl;dr: women are seen as weak and therefore their jobs are seen as easy. neither perception is actually true.

#gender #roach yells about feminism #YOU KNOW WHAT GAVE OUT ON ME??? MY FUCKIN JOINTS #not the muscles #my damn tendons don't like repetitve tasks so much #it's possible i got started on manual labor too late in life #and don't have the bone structure for it #the way boys who grew up doing sports did #which is a NERD PROBLEM #not a girl problem

LITERALLY like its people discussing the characters as living people and not plot tools. no matter what mapleshade did her kits would die because the plot NEEDS them to die. they were doomed the second they were out of camp lol

(i would say the bridge route would probably just have the kits succumb to hypothermia from being out in leaffall rain though, given how fragile kittens are. then people would whine about how she didnt take the faster route. also also doesnt getting to the bridge require crossing the stream near fourtrees, which is also capable of flooding. like fireheart almost dies there in one book. i just checked the map again and it looms like you need to hop the stream to get there)

From what I understand of that particular creek, it's a "syke." A syke is a seasonal stream fed by extra rain, floodwater, and snowmelt, usually only seen in spring and early autumn. A syke is also called a "bourne" further south in England.

So the syke could be active because of the extra flooding, yeah. Which would make it dangerous to take that detour. Mapleshade on her 4th playthrough of MV trying to get 100% completion so she takes the long way around, only for the plot wave to follow her all the way down there too lmao. SYKE!

#bone babble #Mapleshade Discourse O'Clock #It's not entirely known what the etymology of yelling syke after a sarcastic joke is #Most agree it was probably a misspelling of PSYCH! #BUT I like the idea it's a syke stream. A seasonal stream that doesn't always exist. SYKE! #but I am also a nerd so. Lmao #Haha yeah it's totally psych. SYKE!!! you THOUGHT

Steve and Eddie were friends in Steve's first 2 months of high school and he was into "nerd shit" until Steve joined the basketball team and became heavily ostracised from the group and Eddie when they baptise him as nothing but "a rich dumb jock" that can't sit with them. It's like what Eddie did to Lucas but way worse.

This forces Steve to socialise with the basketball team and by proxy the popular people and takes over. He becomes the exact person they accused him of being down to the way he dressed. It also leads to Steve reconnecting with Tommy after a huge falling out with him at the end of middle school or during summer which made Steve want to distance himself from him in high school.

And Eddie reinforces the distance and that people need to stick in their zones and groups and should squash feelings that lead out of tge group with his comments and barbs that he thinks are retaliatory towards Steve but are really unprompted preemptive strikes. So he thinks he was justified. (And Nancy and Johnathan hammer it home through their actions)

The experience builds a lot of resentment in Steve around "nerd culture" even after he left the popular group and became friends with Robin and this does not dissipate after saving Eddie during the Vecna incident. It sizzles a bit more under the surface because he's never had a crush hurt him so much. Eddie can't stop the "dumb jock" barbs at Steve because it's a joke and of course, Steve gets it.

#steve might eventually yell at Eddie that he is a conformist bastard of some sort that leads Eddie shaken and questioning #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #steve and Eddie were friends #nerds can be mean too #stranger things

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.

What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?

In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.

So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #alrighty! now for my answers- #for the ranch question I think it varies which is why I'm asking in a poll. What do you think happens most often though? #each answer is a fun scenario so it's difficult to choose #but I think they'd try to act politely around Malon and Time for the first couple visits with straws or rock paper scissors #or showing generosity by offering the bed to someone else. (I bet Malon saying they're charming is quite the incentive #for more possible compliments. The chain as a whole would want to prove her right xD ) #Once they're more comfortable in the house though I can totally see Wind and Legend making a mad dash for it while Wars yells after them xD #Wind probably ends up sharing with Four a lot since they're the littles #or Wind snuggles in with Wars Legend Wild etc #Wild and Twi/Wolfie have claimed the spot on the floor by the fireplace. #For inn rooms / castle rooms / camping - I tend to group them by how they're grouped a lot already #but a lil mixed up #Time - Sky - Wars are the good rest trio. they want a good night's rest please let them get their beauty sleep. often joined by Four #Wars goes between this group and wherever Legend is depending on how chatty he is that night. #Twi - Wild - Hyrule are snuggle/proximity buddies #Legend is attached to Hyrule's hip or sets up near Warriors to gossip and gripe. I can also see him setting up near Wild #in the eye of the storm as it were or just an interesting place to be. Wild and Hyrule can get to chatting about everything and anything #so if Legend wants background noise (Hyrule and Wild podcast omg)- #or a conversation he can be half a part of and jump in and out of while getting ready for the night or in the mornings- #this is a good place to be. add Wind and things get a bit more chaotic. #Wind gravitates to Wars and Legend too when curious and chatty. He gravitates towards Time when he wants something calmer. #Four tends to be near Sky or Twi or to Legend's group for the same reasons #I can see Four and Twi having a little book club going during downtimes where they talk about what they're reading. Sky likes to listen. <3 #Wind thinks they're nerds but so is he and he can't resist a good story so he orbits and sometimes settles in and peppers questions. #it's funny that Time Sky and Wars want to sleep the most but Legend follows Wars to chat (and ends up bringing people with him xD ) #there could be some conflict there oooo #Twi is by Time #it's almost a circle but with clusters of sleeping bags near on top of each other and filling the gaps

I gotta say I did not expect I’d love Miles this much, enough to look up shit like Secret War and Civil War II reading order, and worse, subject myself to Bendis’ writing of all things (he’s the reason why I stopped being a comic stan 5 years ago. I were a DC/ Superfam fan. You know the beef was BEEFING). Like, my tolerance of that dude now only stops at him being one of Miles’ creators. So that better writers can do the kid justice years later. That’s it.

Like, why is the “r u and Ganke together haha” a whole shtick that comes up multiple times during his run? It’s so annoying and painful to read. Miles can go around being paired up with different girls but the moment THAT question came up you know he gonna be super defensive and >:( about it which, eh, just does not line up with anything else happening in whatever story is happening at the time. At all.

The only silver of light is that Miles actually never says he doesn’t like boys, he just denies ever dating Ganke. Like, he could just say he doesn’t swing that way and the question would have stopped, but he doesn’t. So I know he be running around kissing the punk-est boy in the whole spider verse, ha!

Idk I’m near the end of Bendis’ run and some of it r good but a lot of them put me thru excruciating pain (cringe) so I have to complain about it.

Did I mention I were a DC stan 6 years ago? I were a DC stan 6 years ago so this isn’t even my first rodeo with white dudes writing weirdest things in American comic, but I just can’t believe I got dragged into this again because Miles blinks his bambi eyes on screen and makes me want to rotate him in my brain so I need to know the lore of him in every medium, apparently.

#A POST COMPLAINING ABOUT COMIC? ON THIS BLOG?? AFTER 6 YEARS?? #anyway #it’s so insane like I could actually go haha I know this trope i know these fucked up issues numbering I know how to skim through #an entire event I know how to make sense of these reading order like my comic nerd self is not dead it’s still there #this is all Hobie and MiIes’ fault I tell you #terrible terrible #but at least I get to pull out the i actually read the comics card if anyone ever lords over me about drawing fanarts of the movie #ha! #personal #genuinely think miles’ origin in the comic is so fucked up tho Aaron is a real piece of work there #and by that I mean a gaslighting horrible jerk #still dunno what’s worse being chased around by whole ass adults yelling he’s a mistake #or being in a middle of a civil WAR where again grown ass adults fighting OVER him and making his choice for him #wow dat was crazy #but Miles’ current writer is really good and I also enjoy reading him when he’s with the Champions #also b3ndis’ 2016 run is SO WEIRD like there are dialogues that just make you go #“yep a white man wrote this

I know everyone on Tumblr and Twitter regards people who are 25+ or god-forbid 30+ to be in fandom for nefarious purposes only and should be doing adult things like having a shitty 9-5 office job and then getting home and staring at a beige wall.

I'm here to tell you that my experience being 30 is largely unchanged from being 20, except I now have better communication and empathy skills from years of therapy and also from gazing into the void. Also I have more bills and stress, which means I value my time being able to enjoy a hobby like playing with metaphorical Barbie dolls.

Also, I can offer you such gems of lived-experience advice like "you may have a quarter-life crisis in your twenties as adulthood comes stampeding over you, it will suck absolute ass but you are not alone and you can do this."

Anyways shout-out to the age range who are not-elders-but-regarded-as-such-online-for-some-reason. I met a 60+ person playing my cool new gardening sim game and he's legit af. I am baby compared to that guy and he's still vibing. You're allowed to be part of online communities at any age as long as you respect the people around you.

#shea muses aloud #this is my 'old man yells at cloud' moment #i get the fear really im not naive i know there are bad actors online and you should exercise caution everywhere #straight up it can get dangerous out here #but also dont let that cause you to go extremist in the opposite direction and decide to ostracise everyone older than you #idk man go outside and join communities #my larp regularly had ppl in their 40s and 50s #youre allowed to be a nerd who *gasp* ages #fandom #ageism #anyways learning a lot in my year and a half of being active online #mostly the usual of 'there are people who suck and there are people who dont' #thats life babey #find the people who dont suck #also good luck with your quarter life crises everyone i believe in you

gamer girl ei who wears the same hoodie that hasn’t been washed since she bought it months ago. gamer girl ei who doesn’t leave her room, monster cans and cup noodles all over the place. you have to physically haul her up and drag her ass to the bathroom bc she stinks. she squints when she finally sees the light of day after a month of being holed up in her room.

gamer girl ei who has beef with her little brother after he hacked into her genshin account and spent all her primos on the standard banner. gamer girl ei who carries you in matches and does your daily commissions when you’re too busy to do them. gamer girl ei who mooches off her rich older twin sister so she doesn’t need to lift a finger to work a job.

gamer girl ei who dedicates a ranked match to you, then proceeds to lose and rages at the fifteen year old who sniped her from afar. gamer girl ei who looks intimidating from afar but is actually socially awkward and hides behind you whenever you manage to drag her out to socialize. gamer girl ei who only has four friends—one’s a boomer who doesn’t know how to use a phone, one’s an alcoholic who always manages to escape rehab, one’s a literal nine year old she met on roblox, and then there’s you.

Bakugo can posture his blasé delinquent front all he likes but we ain’t seen him put his feet on his desk since Iida called him out for it

#sure it could be the repeated humblings he got that same week #or it could be that it’s the first time he was yelled at for it by someone other than his mom #and that he actually got an explanation beyond ‘because it’s rude and it’s rude just because I said so’ #respecting the property of an institution he admires and respecting the memories of those who came before him aka All Might #probably made sense to him #because he’s a nerd #a nerd who respected the establishment (gross) #after the war he leaves burn marks on everything because fuck em’

paul is a 100% a boob man OMG

!!!!!! im HOLLERING!!!!!!!!!!!! that's one of my fave vids ever omg and paul freaking whining is like music to my ears istg. it's so on point for him too.... i wrote a little about that in the paul nsfw alphabet that i never finished 🫠🫠 but yeah like we've been through, i think he has a slightly submissive streak and he enjoys being teased. and to hear those sweet sounds as rewards when you tease him, or kiss him with a bit of force, or roll your hips on his.... 😶

#there's also a part around 4:40 when theyre doing spa and he's whining...... #music to my ears istg #i looooveeee tht video thooo #like mainly because kimi is such a NERD and i love it #hes so cute #but also the way paul acts....... #the middle finger when the staff is laughing at him 😭 and swearing and stuff too #and just giggling and laughing #and cheating.... i would too if i was up against kimi #not being able to get it despite looking.... #best part is him so confidently yelling “hungary!!” (wrong) and kimi says “no!!! brazil brazil!!!!” #kimi not waiting to hear if paul is right... really just saying “no you're so stupid! i know the right answer!!” even though paul is the on #looking 😭 #okay sorry #but yes yes 100% a whiny boy at times <3<3 #asks! #anon! #OH AND SECOND FAVE PART #staff: “you broke it so now you wont be able to do it-” #ollie (cutting them off): “this japan tho!!” #bye #and also “where is the track now? aron? paul??” and then his expressions when looking at baku #and then slapping the couch and “lets go!!!” #AND ALSO “imola!! 😄😄” pls
