the fact that it is basically impossible to debate at this debate makes it feel to me like yeah, the federation doesn't give a shit about the process. they're like fuck your debates all of this is a farce good luck <3

#qsmp #i'm trying super hard not to be annoyed bc to be fair it's funny #but i keep getting excited for people to actually make good points and disagree intellectually #and then they get interrupted. #like etoiles gearing up to discuss the codes and then he's interrupted and can't finish #it kills me inside #at least i'm watching antoine so periodically he starts shittalking or soundboarding with max #sometimes i hear baghera giggle at them too (like when antoine was like 'foreverrrr pleaseeee buy a microphone') #and when he glances back to check in on leo and pomme #the only saving grace #anyway yea thank god bad isn't here i feel like he would Not be having a fun time #shut up vic #block game brainrot

"Cassandra Cain stans are so annoying they only care about power scaling!" Damn sounds like a skill issue. At any given time two of my Cass mutuals are having breakdowns about her various relationships and two others are analysing the symbolism associated with her character and tracing it's development through the eras. Perhaps being a batman dudebro is the reason you mostly come across powerscalers, and it's not actually anything to do with most Cass fans

seasons 1-2 of wwdits are very funny and charming and good to rewatch but it is so disorienting when you realise how much they changed about the characters (for the better imo!) in later seasons. like. nandor says he was married to 37 women. nadja and laszlo are like, hiding their nonmonogamy from each other and being jealous? nadja has a cellphone? that she knows how to use?? guillermo can contact her on her cellphone???? mad. i choose to view later seasons not as retconning but as evidence of a major gas leak in the house that made them all more stupid gay and slutty over time

#wwdits #when they had nandor and laszlo hook up for the first time is when they started really finding the correct path imo #but the fact that nadja didnt know about it HSKFJDKFS please #you have all been going to orgies together for hundreds of years!! what is going on #also ik its generally seen as an annoying thing when characters get stupider as shows go on #but i honestly love nadja’s development #from like the deadpan capable one into an unhinged idiot like the others #feels lame to have the only female member of the core group be the smarter one #which is also why i hate fanon interpretations that go for the trope of ’nadja and guillermo and their idiot husbands’ #first of all laszlo is an Intellectual #second of all if anything nadja is the idiot husband. get it right smh

Desperately want to learn more about pizzaplex owner michael AU but I do not have coherent thoughts more than “bark bark chewing on drywall” so I guess I will just ask: how does he become the owner?. Is Fazbear Ent. Already building it and he takes it from them? Does he build it himself? Can you imagine these construction workers are like “we’ve not seen the guy who ordered this building to be made but it’s finished so now we get to meet the guy” and then . Then they see . They see Michael

My timeline for it isn't entirely hammered out just yet, but it jumps from SL straight to Security Breach. The events of Pizza Simulator still happen, but just without Michael's direct involvement (nor molten freddy :)). The puzzle pieces sort of just fall into place, being blood related to one of the original founders and all. "Did you really think this job just fell out of the sky for you?" Yes, actually. Michael, due to his physical condition, often opts to use a middleman in physical communications, or a phone call in place of face to face meetings. This middleman, although the position has shifted hands multiple times and still does depending on the day, is none other than Jeremy. It's worth noting also that at some point, in the amount of time between 1993 and SL, they got married :3. I try to silently include mentions of this in their designs. In my "canon" timeline, however, Jeremy's design takes a major depressive shift with Michael's ring hanging on a necklace :( But to properly answer your question, Fazbear Entertainment was already building the place, and Michael offered to run the whole place since they hadn't found a proper manager yet and not many others would step up to take on a project so ambitious. He much prefers to keep to the shadows, avoiding social interaction if possible and will often remain in tucked away offices, far from the public eye to watch over cameras. Optimally, he leaves just before night shift; the place is closed, no patrons about, so Michael can freely roam about without the fear of someone seeing him that isn't supposed to. This also coincides with the end of Jeremy's shift, so that they can leave together.

#i imagine he literally just calls up faz ent and goes 'hey. bitch. give me all of your intellectual property.' #'fuck ok' #but genuinely I don't know how it comes about other than him just making his way up the chain #not the actual ceo but in a position prestigious enough to have some power #this can happen with out without ennard michael with only slight differences #major differences in the burntrap fight though #also worth mentioning that he took jeremy's last name to clean his hands of the afton name #and gets incredibly angry when someone dares call him up as mr. afton #vanessa :eyebrow raise emoji: #i hope any of this makes sense i really struggle with writing out stuff bhghghhg #michael afton #five nights at freddy's #jeremy fitzgerald #fnaf sb #fnaf au #pizzaplex owner au #ask.txt #faeriescorpio

What began as a friendship between Ann and Abraham [Lincoln] turned at some point into romance. They shared an understanding, according to friends, that they would marry after Ann completed her studies at the Female Academy in Jacksonville. Ann was only twenty-two in the summer of 1835. While New Salem sweltered through one of the hottest summers in the history of the state, a deadly fever, possibly typhoid, spread through the town. Ann, as well as several of Lincoln's friends, perished in the epidemic. After Ann's death, Abraham seemed "indifferent, to transpiring events," one neighbor recalled, "had but Little to say, but would take his gun and wander off in the woods by him self." Elizabeth Abell, a New Salem neighbor who had become a surrogate mother to Lincoln, claimed she had "never seen a man mourn for a companion than he did." His melancholy deepened on dark and gloomy days, for he could never "be reconcile[d]," he said, "to have the snow—rains and storms to beat on her grave." Acquaintances feared that he had become "temporarily deranged," and that unless he pulled himself together, "reason would desert her throne."

goddamn. fuckin bleak period in mr sixteenth president's life

#def getting the vibe he almost didn't make it that far! #also: in the tags because this is far too embarrassing and dweeby of commentary for the main post BUT #okay you know how e.g. wolverine xmen has that thing going on where like #EVERY girl he ever meets dies tragically. usually after they date and/or fuck #which is very appealing if you're into manpain but even so once you read the xmen wiki article and discover he's got like FIVE dead exes #it's like okay come on no one's life is THAT sad #dude. lincoln's early life. is that sad #super close to his mom/sister/first-beloved #all of whom die horribly #and like admittedly horrible death was not that uncommon back then #childbirth/typhoid/etc was a hell of a thing #but they're also like. the only ppl who appreciate his intellectual habits etc etc it's just #super heavy dude #then the next passage in the book goes on about how Lincoln said he was sure there wasn't life after death #even though he wishes he could believe it b/c it sucks his beloved is gone #and it's just like BRUH DUDE #anyway. lincoln. #lua reads team of rivals

Is/Was tumblr giving anyone else a notification when someone you followed posted for the first time in a while? Like this:

It was doing that for me for a couple weeks, although now it seems to have stopped. A short-lived experiment? Or perhaps no one has posted after a long enough lag. (It seems unlikely to have been a bug, but I don't know enough about coding so maybe?)

It was sort of an interesting idea, to make sure I didn't miss someone I hadn't seen in a while, but on the whole I'm glad it's gone/hope it goes. I'd like my notifications to be all about me, thank you 👸🏻The dashboard is the place for other people. Otherwise it gets confusing.

Anyway, I haven't posted in a while (12 days), so perhaps this post will show up in your notifications!

#that wasn't the only reason I haven't posted much lately #but it did add a little additional pressure for my first post back #i felt self conscious that everyone would get a notification about whatever random dumb shit i was thinking about #but now if lots of people see this at least it answers my question #i haven't been watching BL recently or indeed any shows or movies at all #been trying to focus a lot on school #which i have been! it's been the intellectually most difficult semester so far #so the focusing has been decent recently but the actual results haven't been great #especially since i started the semester not at all on top of things #but it means that I haven't had anything to say about bl #and I've been feeling weird about posting random stuff about my life or what I'm learning #like people aren't interested #and bad about not responding to various things I've been tagged in #i even have some drafts for those i just need to finish. but it hasn't been a priority #anyways here's the update no one asked for. i may or may not post more in the near future. #tmblr life #gillianthecat's life #rambling in the tags

bill and ted and their efforts in education is something thats So Important to me - they really do want to learn and find new things soo interesting, its just that traditional teaching methods fail them. even stuff they love (music) took them so long to learn !!!! which is something i feel like ppl miss a lot. choosing to learn smthn that is difficult and has a steep learning curve is actually So Hard and frustrating and bill and ted actually put in so much effort to learn!! and ofc it works out (they win battle of the bands, become famous, save the world etc) but i feel like they wouldve worked at it even if they never met rufus and all that bc they approach life with such genuine earnestness. which is a trait i admire so much and they make me so happy :)

yes dude you absolutely hit the nail on the head!!! i love love love that Bill and Ted don't make it through any of the movies thanks to any kind of special skill or innate talent, they manage to make it through just because they're so affable and enthusiastic that people around them (even some who would have reason to actually dislike them) just can't seem to help but be taken with them and decide to help them out - no perpetuating the myth of independence anywhere!!

and you're so right about the time travel probably not being strictly Necessary in their development like, their audition at the beginning of Bogus Journey isn't very good but it's still technically way more musical than their garage jam sessions were in Excellent Adventure! (You could argue that's just the Princesses carrying the sound, which is probably true to an extent, BUT I don't think that's it entirely bc there's not any discordant distortion-noise like there was in EA and parts of the melody do seem to cut out when Bill and Ted pause playing to speak) So they were learning and improving between movies, it's just that they're naturally kind of slow at it AND they've also probably not been able to focus on learning all that well bc they're working full time and struggling financially - once they take like a year and a half outside of time to practice nothing but guitar they're able to show off some serious musical acumen, and THEN i love how Face the Music shows how even though they've both gotten pretty Technically skilled at a huge variety of instruments, they're still 'bad at it' bc they struggle to write music that other people enjoy/understand and they still aren't overly bothered by that at all!

Also love that the same applies to Billie and Thea - they seem to have a much easier time of things than their dads do wrt learning/innate skills BUT they're still 24 and haven't moved out or gone to college or gotten jobs or anything and no one (other than Chief Logan ofc) puts them down or admonishes them for this! They're both loved and supported wholeheartedly by their parents (who OFC understand it all completely) and they make it through the movie the same exact way Bill and Ted did! Even though Billie and Thea do rely on a more-than-solid grasp of musical history to navigate the circuits of time, their ability to sway the historical figures to their cause largely thanks to their enthusiasm for the topic and general affability and i love how that's always upheld by the movies as a Valued Trait i love it SO much

#i also lovve how bill and ted were originally thought of as like Complete outcasts in high school who were like Actively disliked #by more popular kids and the writers and director saw the energy that the actors brought to the characters and were like 'oh no way' #and cut the notion entirely bc they're just SO affable that they were like 'well maybe no one especially Likes them but no one probably #Dislikes them that much' and so it was scrapped; but i love them so much like you even get the sense that Mr. Ryan is Aware that #bill and ted are Trying to put genuine effort into school bc he doesn't talk at them like 'if you just applied yourselves' or like they're #fucking around in class on purpose he just tries to level with them and seems at least a Little upset that he'd have to flunk them #bc he just doesn't have the time/resources as a teacher to help them out like they'd need ; and like it's not even like in EA #they're ONLY piggybacking off the historical figures to carry the report - their voice over throughout the montage is proof that they were #actively paying attention and learning stuff about the dudes as they were hanging around throughout the movie - like finally learning #how to pronounce 'socrates' and identifying joan of arc as a military leader and stuff - it's just that they have like #learning/intellectual disabilities and struggle like hell in traditional learning environments; i love them SO much they're SO important 2m #bnt

I do tend to like the trope of "one or both characters faking or being disingenuous about their role in a relationship but ending up being shaped by it anyway"—and yes "fake dating" and all its variants are included in that! but! that is not the end-all-be-all; the possibilities here are endless. for example:

fake mentor/mentee

fake siblings

fake bodyguard/person they are protecting

fake parent/child

fake prisoner/guard

fake royalty/servant

fake rivals

fake divorced

even just. fake friends please I love fake friends

#tropes #fr though the situation with Shallan and Jasnah in The Way of Kings was so compelling to me #I cannot understand why some people said those sections were boring I was waiting for them specifically #the only thing getting me through Kaladin's long depressing bits sorry #bc like. She's coming into being the student/ward with ulterior motives #and intent to betray and steal from her mentor? #but she still respects her and wants to learn from her #and does learn from her #even as she's plotting behind her back #and you can see them connecting intellectually and personally and learning and developing as people because of their relationship #but we know that it can't last bc the trust is going to be broken #and that scene in the bath where Shallan almost steals the soulcaster had me absolutely on the edge of my seat #!!!!!!! #anyway #as an example

I do, in fact, hold the Jewish community collectively responsible for Zionists.

Individually? Of course not. Anti Zionist Jews exist as individuals. Many individuals are shut out of their own religious community, especially those of colour.

But as a community where Zionism is so socially and institutionally entrenched that the minority of dissenters are disowned and ostracized?

The global community of which only a handful of organisations openly advocate for Palestine, and even most of those paternalistic and co-opting Palestnian voices with liberal Zionist sympathies?

The western majority that institutionally benefits from white colonization and imperialism and silences its non-Jewish Black and brown critics?

The same majority that will never own their privilege or culpability or complicity in the colonial project before and after the Holocaust?

That helped the West exceptionalize it to cover up their exponentially larger and more enduring colonial crimes?

That distanced themselves from their white colonial privilege at the expense of BIPOC by insisting theirs was not a religious marginalization but a racial one, and continues to punish us for not treating them as racially oppressed?

Whose very demand to be automatically exonerated from the Palestinian genocide is reflective of their white and Western privilege?

That successfully broke the ties Jews of colour have to their own racial communities through Israeli ethnic cleansing and Zionist propaganda?

That uses JoC as shields, tokens and weapons against all the above charges?

The JoC that have purchased the privileges of Zionism and enfranchised themselves by betraying their own races?

The community that has used the charge of antisemitism to police Black and brown folks for decades, making it a knife against our necks?

I absolutely, 100% blame the global Jewish community.

The Global South will not forget. We will not forgive. All people with white skinned European descent are our oppressors. All people nourished on the teat of the imperial core are the foot soldiers of white supremacy, no matter what their race. We owe you no exoneration.

#this post is brought to you by the fucking bullshit going on at the holocaust museum today #i'm never going to give a shit about that after this. nothing to do with us #how tf do you terrorize black and brown people into recognizing your victimhood and not realize you arent the victim here if you can do tha #i am 1000% done with this colonizer bullshit #no wonder black intellectuals have been calling out white jews for decades #'antisemitism' only matters when it affects white jews lmao. JoC have to deal with it on their own #i trust JoC even less than white Jews after this because holy shit the zionist bootlicking #they aren't gonna fuck you bro #if you arent going to divest from white colonialism please get your asses the fuck out of our spaces #you should be expiring with shame and pain for what your people are doing #instead you're whinging because someone tagged Free Palestine on your wall after a 115 days of butchering babies #fuck you #knee of huss #anti zionist #zionazis #free palestine #racism #anti blackness #white supremacy #colonialism #western imperialism
