Republicans have nothing on Biden. All they have is Trump/MAGA projection.

Every accusation is a confession.

#performative nonsense

[pinkieloveheartpastel]

A lot of people, especially Progressive™ White people, will brag to the high heavens about disliking white people like it’s a Badge of Honor™ instead of unlearning their white supremacist behavior, learning how it manifests and how to stop it, and calling it out when they see it.

Disliking white people is much easier, and more socially acceptable, than actually changing for the better. You get to slap an Ally™ badge on your chest, and do absolutely fuckall and get credit for it.

Any group that cheers someone setting themselves on fire and dying as a “political statement” is a death cult and dangerous to everyone.

It shouldn’t need to be said, but here we go: Take needed medication, listen and try to learn from facts even if they’re associated with opposing points of view, and don’t set yourself or others on fire.

Damn, it’s like dealing with tantrumming toddlers only terrifying.

#jumblr #i don’t even know the guy’s name i just know his performative activism is nonsensical #he brought attention to something people were already talking about #not an accomplishment only a sad gesture from someone who clearly had deeper problems

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

yes i have personal & intimate reasons for my own (lack of) religious/supernatural beliefs, but it's not dishonest to admit: i am also an atheist bc at no point in my life have i, after completing a slightly unpleasant task, been witness to an angel/imp/sprite/devil/entity-of-any-kind manifesting in all their glory to offer me a pat on the head and a little plastic baggy of crackers (by way of encouragement/reward).

call me childish but in my heart of hearts i cannot truly participate in a belief system that tolerates such negligence

#ok u are free to believe in angels who perform miracles very very rarely when no one is watching #and i am free to disbelieve (and be disappointed and judgemental) in angels who (fail to) perform boring acts of mild encouragement #look if a spiritual being & divine messenger isn't gonna be my imaginary friend when i'm 7 years old and having a hard day #then what is the goshdarn POINT of yall? #blah blah blah revelations & prophecies. if you can't show up sit down shut up and comfort a lonely 2nd grader having a 1-person tea party #then u aren't qualified for any divine duty nonsense. gtfo

roy starts withdrawing more and more as he notices himself aging and ed doesnt understand why cause hes literally never been more attracted to this man 😭🥰

Roy, lamenting about his greying hair and wrinkles: How could the literal human sunshine I call a husband love me now that I'm not pretty anymore!?

Ed, whenever the light hits Roy just right and brings out the silver in his hair, remembering he can't just jump his husband in public:

#fullmetal alchemist #Edward Elric #Roy Mustang #royed #not only is Roy like twice his age #but I firmly believe Ed is more long-living due to his genealogy #whether brotherhood/manga or '03 there's Philosopher's Stone nonsense fucking with his DNA I think #so he'd probably stay younger and live longer #also given passing through the gate unlocks some higher plane of consciousness that allows them to perform circless alchemy #I'm sure passing through diddles other stuff as well #given it's implied to literally boost their cerebral evolution or whatever it's doing to allow circleless alchemy

the hermitcraft hyperfixation is taking hold,,,, season 10 is going to RUIN me

so far, i've been watching Grian, Mumbo, Scar, Joel, Etho, and Tango - I watched Doc's E1 but haven't watched his E2 yet, and I'm currently catching up on Xisuma's episodes (and considering adding Ren, Iskall, Gem, Skizz, and maybe BDubs and JoeHills to the list if I have the time to watch that many more)

for more context, this is the first season I'm watching ANYONE other than Grian's POV

honestly i'm just really happy to be getting into more of the hermits, because I've known I've enjoyed them from what I've seen on Grian's POV and the Life Series', just never got into their content

i'll probably update in a month or two with how many of them I manage to stay caught up on lmao

#this is going to do TERRIBLE things to my performance in all other parts of my life lmao #this is also the first time i've watched literally any video from X Tango or Doc and i'm so happy im getting into their content #hermitcraft #hermitblr #hermitcraft season 10 #hc s10 #hc season 10 #hermicraft s10 #grian #mumbo jumbo #goodtimeswithscar #smallishbeans #ethoslab #tangotek #organizey tags as usual > #cubic nonsense #hyperfixation type beat #stuff and nonsense ramblings etc

nine days until aaron tveit performs in front of a live audience in that slutty, slutty sweeney todd shirt

#bee posts nonsense #ALSO 24 days until i personally get to see him perform in that slutty slutty sweeney todd shirt #i don't even think he was that great of a choice for sweeney i just love him so deeply i literally cannot wait #like i would pay to see him in the worst possible roles no matter how absurdly miscast #sweeney todd #theatre #aaron tveit

If Kuboyasu was a butch lesbian and Kaido was a trans guy then their characters and friendship would've been 300% more interesting tbh. A beautiful alternate world where Asou was 40% more goated.

#nopsi nonsense #I just think the gender flavor would be so interesting and then you have Kuboyasu wondering whether she has to perform traditional #femininity to pass as a normie instead of a gangster & try to parallel Teruhashi for a bit before realizing it's not her thing #Going back to her butch roots & deciding to be true to herself #Meanwhile Kaido is using fantasy to cope with gender feelings and actually kinda learns to be a man through Kuboyasu #And gets the courage to stand up to his mom and say his truth and she gets him on hrt #But then has to face the struggle of applying T when he's kind of a weenie & Kuboyasu helping him bc he's like her little bro & best friend #hsfjdlshfks Kuboyasu escorting Kaido to the men's bathroom and standing outside his stall at anyone who looks sideways at them #I know you could hc this but I actually like using canon for most things so au nopsi can have fun with that instead

tw: antiblackness, Oregon:

•

•

•

Anyways this is a ‘Fuck Oregon and its white supremacist history, and that little law that was put out to exclude black people’ blog.

I’ve spent hours in Washington State yesterday and felt absolute peace. Something I haven’t felt since I came to Oregon, with their performative fake-woke asses, while they also have the N Word (hard R) spray-painted in red somewhere around Portland, in the sea of “black lives matter”, and “acab”, and “love is love” and “diversity wins” signs that they don’t actually give a shit about. Those are only there to make White Liberals™ feel superior, and feel like they’re doing shit, even though they aren’t. At all. Like putting a little bandaid over a festering wound.

Not only that, but there’s a shit ton of black people up there in Washington State, and it’s nice and quiet, and doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable in the slightest.

It’s a shame Oregon has such beautiful scenery full of racist people. I can’t actually enjoy nature if I’m in a hotel that allows a group of white boys to make loud noises, say the N word, mock black people and be misogynistic from 4pm to 6am. But if you report them, suddenly you’re in the wrong, and you’re causing trouble.

I can’t enjoy nature if I see a big-ass red truck in front of me that says “honk if you’re honkey” on the back.

I can’t enjoy nature if there’s the N Word (hard R) spray-painted in red on a tall brick in the middle of the so called “diversity wins” city.

I can’t actually enjoy nature if they claim they’re “POC friendly”, but only if you’re the “right” kind of POC. Aka not-black.

I can’t actually enjoy nature if all I see is homeless people who are forced to live on the streets surrounded by overpriced homes and overpriced everything else due to gentrification and capitalism.

I can’t actually enjoy nature if I had to move out of a hotel that likes to kick black people out for demanding to be treated with respect and dignity. You can be promised three months there, and they will shorten it to a few weeks as soon as they see that you’re black.

I can’t actually enjoy nature when this shitty state claims to be “queer friendly”, but only for white liberal queers who think that being queer is for white people only.

Same with being alternative. Only white people get to be alternative up here.

I can’t actually enjoy nature if I’m in a state that’s full of White Vegans™ (aka the white liberals strike again)… don’t even get me started. Vegans aren’t bad, nor is veganism itself… it’s the White Liberals. It’s always the White Liberals.

I can’t actually enjoy nature when I’m in the worst state in the world.

Traveling while Black is absolutely exhausting.

In conclusion, I’m going to be talking shit about Oregon for a long time. I fucking hate Boston (MA) with all my might, but holy shit, Oregon is an absolute nightmare.

yeah it's them again, ✨izumo edition✨

Aizo: Cheerful and athletic. During their visit to Izumo Shrine, he said “I will definitely become an idol who’ll not lose to anyone else, so please cheer me on.” when he was making his prayers.

Q: What feature(s) of Izumo made the biggest impression on you?

Aizo: It goes without saying that the shrines and temples were impressive, but I also climbed to the top of a lighthouse known as the Hinomisaki Lighthouse. I heard that it’s the tallest lighthouse in Japan, and the view from the observation deck at the top was amazing. You can see the entire Sea of Japan from up there. I hope that everyone would be able to give climbing to the top of the lighthouse a try.

Yujiro: Mild-mannered and polite. During their visit to Izumo Shrine, he said “Thank you for watching over me every day. I’ll continue to devote myself to my work.” when he was making his prayers.

Q: What feature(s) of Izumo made the biggest impression on you?

Yujiro: I guess it’d be Izumo soba, their local delicacy. It’s known as Warigo Soba, and the soba is served in three stacked tiers of round bowls, along with condiments and dipping sauce on the side. It was the first time that I had ever eaten this style of soba, and I found it to be delicious. This style of soba seems to have been perfected back when people started to eat soba as a packed meal. The origin story of the meal was also really interesting to listen to.

The Tourism Ambassadors of Izumo: Up Close and Personal with LIPxLIP!

Congratulations on being appointed as the tourism ambassadors of Izumo! How do you feel about it?

Yujiro: Through this collaboration, I learned that Izumo City has a very deep connection to the history of Japan, with the famous Izumo Shrine and numerous historic shrines and temples being found within the city. As such, I feel that it’s a great honour to have been appointed as the tourism ambassadors of Izumo City.

Aizo: You know, Izumo City is where shito, our producer from HoneyWorks, spent his youth, so I wonder if that connection to him led us to our appointments as its tourism ambassadors thanks to the Matchmaking shrines in the area. I’d like for us to show off the charms of Izumo City to many people as LIPxLIP, its tourism ambassadors.

What are your plans for this collaboration event in Izumo? Also, how did your voice recording go?

Aizo: Starting on the 26th of January, “Izumo Day”, we will commence a digital stamp rally called “Touring Izumo City with LIPxLIP” via an app, which will play our voices as you visit famous spots in Izumo. The recording was a ton of fun too. We learned a lot as we voiced our introductions about each of the featured spots.

Yujiro: There are many stories about places and people that are straight out of Japanese History textbooks, so I think there are things to be enjoyed about the tour, aside from our dialogue. Of course, there are snippets of our personal conversations included in the recordings. Like when I went into a footbath with Aizo. Right, Aizo?

Aizo: You mean that time when you chased me all the way to the edge of the footbath, huh?!

Yujiro: Is that what happened? Ahahaha (laughs).

I heard that the two of you reunited with an unexpected person while you were sightseeing in Shimane, while you were there for a tour?

Aizo: Yup, we did. We bumped into him by chance. His name’s Nagisa. You know about him, don’t you?

Yujiro: Nagisa came to our concert too. I think he became a fan of LIPxLIP too, don’t you?

Aizo: Yeah. He definitely became our fan. No doubt about it.

Yujiro: We’ll confirm it with him when we see him again.

HoneyWorks’s 6th album, which is set to be released in March, will include a recording of the Special Sunny Party (SunnyPa) Live on a bonus disc. You guys performed Shin Jidai for the first time at SunnyPa. How was it?

Aizo: Shin Jidai was a song that our seniors, Full Throttle4, invited us to collaborate on. It felt like a brand new challenge to us, as it was a song that we would not usually get the chance to sing or dance to as LIPxLIP. As such, I got the sense that we were performing it with a rather fresh feeling.

Yujiro: Our seniors were singing and dancing fairly seriously, so we were desperately doing our best so as to not fall behind them. Just like Aizo had said, I, too, felt like we had performed with a fresh feeling. And, through this performance we got to experience a sense of something that we didn’t yet have, which we are hoping that we would be able to apply in our next performance.

Aizo: The Julieta who watched the concert loved it. They said that their hearts pounded when they saw Yujiro acting all aggressively confident, since he doesn’t do that often. Right, Yujiro?

Yujiro: Weren’t there comments about how scary my face looked? I haven’t watched the recording yet, but I wonder if I did alright.

Aizo: They sure were honest, huh (laughs). Please do check out the recording, okay?

During the emcee portion with Full Throttle4 (FT4), you guys imitated each other again, didn’t you? What are your thoughts on FT4’s imitations of you two, and how did you feel about trying to imitate them again?

Aizo: Let’s not talk about the imitations! We were just swept up in FT4’s bad vibes, really. We didn’t even agree to do that beforehand, and yet they suddenly sprung it on us… 

Yujiro: That's the one thing I wish they’d stop asking us to do. It’s embarrassing, regardless of whether we succeed or fail at imitating them, and it’ll destroy LIPxLIP’s image, you know? (laughs)

Aizo: Wait, don’t tell me that emcee portion was recorded too?

Yujiro: It seems to be so.

Aizo: Seriously…? I wonder if it’ll appeal to our Julieta, though…

Lastly, LIPxLIP, please give a message to your Julieta who support you!

Yujiro: We’re truly happy to have been granted the opportunity to bring happiness to all of you Julieta, right from the start of the year, in the form of our collaboration with Izumo City. I’d like us to continue to expand the scope of our activities as LIPxLIP and meet lots of you along the way, Julieta.

Aizo: This year has only just begun, and I hope to make it a fun year with all of you Julieta. Please look forward to seeing a different and more mature LIPxLIP as compared to how we were like last year. See y’all around, Julieta!

Yujiro: See ya!

Yujiro: I’d like us to expand the scope of our activities as LIPxLIP and meet lots of you along the way, Julieta.

Aizo: I'll be really happy if our feelings of gratitude to our Julieta have been conveyed properly.

#aighttttt goodbye lxl im not tling any more of your nonsense for the rest of the month im all lxl-ed out #ngl i had to stop and rewatch the shinjidai performance for a bit bc of how they were describing it #y e a h it still isn't as cool as how they're making it seem here lmaoooooooo #but with each passing second of watching the vid... i found myself thinking with increasing certainty that... #...dai moved just like one of those wacky inflatable arm tube men in that dance i m s o r r y #anyways it's midnight so im queuing this for a more reasonable time of day goodbyeeeeeeeeee #染BODY ONCE TOLD ME— #lxl tl things

i think if there has to be a jury of ‘music industry’ people who base all their votes on vocal quality. that we also deserve a second jury that awards points based on PIZAZZ. like half of eurovision to me is the performance! the emotion! the CAMP! and yet every year all the boringsest ballads get shoved to the top while the popular vote struggles to counteract the jury negligence. 

#eurovision #eurovision 2023 #i thought sweden was a great singer and her song was fine #but it didnt have the energy or the sparkle or the connection i look for in a winning esc performance cmon #the high of italy and then ukraine winning i think gave me too much hope #the jury nonsense just sucked it all right back in this year #i used to be used to the good ones losing but this time i had HOPE so now im extra bitter

[thepoisonroom]

one of the funniest things about my worst ex that i didn't even know until this year is that they tried to use romantic lines on me that they'd lifted verbatim from casey mcquiston's red white and royal blue

#it was so wild to watch the movie v high and get physically bodied by already knowing all the lines without having read the book #thinking abt the poetry thing it's really interesting to think about people i've dated who really wanted a performance of romantic intimacy #but kind of didn't really know me that well or act like they liked me that much #sometimes it's like the other person isn't seeing you but their idea of what love and romance should be and that's what they're devoted to #so it's silly to me that they were so literally reading lines from a script that they didn't even write! #i don't mean this in a passive-aggressive I JUST THINK IT'S FUNNY way like it's genuinely very funny #i think when it was fresher this would have hurt my feelings a lot to know but now i can just be like wow loser behavior lmao #personal nonsense

I love when ppl try to throw shade at codywan or insist it’s unreasonable because like okay baby, ur so right, codywan is totally impossible but Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi would 100% fuck his padawan, the literal embodiment of angsty mental illness Anakin Skywalker

We’ve been so blind. Two extremely competent and responsible adult men growing close over the course of a war and finding comfort in each other? Ridiculous. Who would think such a thing 😒 everyone knows clones don’t have dicks, clones don’t fuck. Unless it’s a self insert OC of course, then the clones may fuck

But absolutely, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi would definitely get down and dirty with Anakin. Padme? Who the fuck is that? The only Pad I May need is extra padding for my ass when I sit and read a 300k fic about Jedi power bottom Kenobi taking back shots from Anakin.

In case you couldn’t tell, this is satire. One of my biggest pet peeves is people trying to justify their ship by insisting its only logical, basically canon tbh, anything else is silly and helllllloooo who would ever ship that other thing haha it makes no sense right?

Stop it. If you want to see Obi-Wan get his back blown out by Anakin, just say that. It’s okay to wanna see ur fave characters fuck or suck each other off you don’t have to gas light urself + everyone else preaching about how it’s the only reasonable / most believable / most practical ship. And yah some people may find your ship a little fuckin weird but who cares, show ur fave ship + characters some respect and stand by them without some twitter level performative nonsense

Do you wanna see two characters touch peepees? Okay then, that’s all the justification you need. And especially if you’re gonna ship something a little dicey at least have the balls to be proud and upfront about it smh 💀

TLDR: you don’t have to craft some grandiose analysis to justify why you ship something, the best ships sail with vibes alone. Stand by your ships / ideas / headcanons don’t be a coward. Y’all be barking and yapping too much except when it comes to standing on business 💀💀💀

#barking and yapping barking and yapping that’s all I see on here 😭 #y’all keep acting like dogs I’m about to start whipping out the pink juice and putting ppl down like dogs 💀 #sw salt #stop making fandom into performative essay writing nonsense #we’re weird ppl we wanna see weird things that’s fine #don’t pretend like it’s anything else lol #in case the message has gone over ur head the point is that I for example could never see Obikin happening and logically it never would #but who tf cares if y’all wanna see them get dirty go for it #but the thing ppl are not doing is extending that understanding to others / different ships
