I really appriciate how often Machete is depicted struggling and feeling like a burden, while still being loved and supported by Vasco. It gives the top tier angst of "i'm not good enough, I'm not worth it" but you frame it in such a way where it's clear that's just how he *feels* and is not how things really are, but also it's so nice to see someone who struggles quite often in a loving and unique relationship that suits them. The narrative of not being able to love or be loved unless you're consistently healthy is really tiring lol.

#ah thank you! I'm so glad these themes come through the way I intended #this touches on something that I've been thinking a lot so sorry if this gets a bit ranty #but I have massive personal beef with the sentiment “you have to love yourself before you can love someone else/someone else can love you ” #I hate it with a passion #I know it's meant to encourage positive growth and I get that self-love and healthy self-image are something you should strive for #but it also sort of sends the message that people who struggle with these sort of issues don't deserve to be loved #not until they reach some external invisible standard of “okay I'm normal and well adjusted now” #“perhaps now I'm worthy of entering a relationship without the danger of dragging the other person down with me” #people who aren't in perfect health mentally or physically already feel like they're inconveniencing others with their mere existence #depriving them of the possibility or even the idea of loving and being loved won't make them better #it's just a stupid idiom it doesn't matter but to me it just comes across as unspeakably cruel way to think #and it rustles my jimmies #answered #anonymous

poor shiro cannot catch a fucking break can he. first he gets a crippling disease he's got two years to live. then an angsty wattpad breakup with his boyfriend then he gets kidnapped by aliens and pumped full of alien weed then he crashes on earth with so much walking midlife crisis energy that he gains the skinning puppies to make a fur coat hair, and then he immediately gets shot right back into space by his shittass little brother and weirdo friends with the literal matt clone. then this poor man is made the leader of an alien war, becomes a father to four fuckass teenagers through accidental child acquisition, is forced into the kim kardashian lifestyle by a ginger on drugs, gets kidnapped again, gets cloned, fucking dies, somehow comes back (yeah I'm not really clear about this) then this pathetic wet cat of a man, this stressed jean valjean father of four, experiencing his fourth midlife crisis and millionth mental breakdown, gains that senior citizen swag at twenty five. you could colour match his hair with a polar bear. then he witnesses a walking loreal ad (derogatory) get melted alive, watches a castle get blown up, loses three years in a space time jump and then finds out his ex- fiance who broke up with him right before he left has fucking died in a purple thumb invasion before he got to marry him. but oh no no no that's not the end for this poor sad man. poor guy doesn't get a second to grieve before he is visually assaulted by a less cunty sue sylvester ripoff and her gang of bitchy cheerios (this is admiral s*nda), and yet again made a leader against his will, and shot right back off into space again. then he watches the only other responsible adult in this entire franchise (hot badass space princess who like shiro did not catch a break) sacrifice herself and is left a struggling father. ends up marrying some random fucko. all while suffering through his shitass hot topic brother and blueberry disaster's doomed yaoi romance. oh yeah and he's only got one arm. give the guy a BREAK. FREE my man he doesn't deserve this 🔥🔥

Here’s the thing with people shipping Alastor, I could not care less about who people ship Alastor with or whether they ship him at all, what I do care about though is people making him allo.

This is one of the few cannon ace (possibly aro) characters out there and he can 100% be shipped in verity of ways without ignoring he is ace or aroace.

Make him aroace but still platonicly obsessed with Lucifer or Vox.

Make him sex repulsed or indifferent it doesn’t really matter (I could 100% see him having sex with someone for entertainment purposes just like I can see him being sex repulsed).

Even make him Demi/grey-ace if you must show him reciprocating sexual attraction.

Bonus points if he’s aro and you play around with platonic relationships/QPRs.

I know at the end of the day he is a fictional character and people will do what they want, but please listen to aro/ace fans when we ask you not completely ignore his sexuality when there are so many ways you can still play around with his characterization without disrespecting one of the few cannon ace characters to exist in TV.

#slightly ranty but #I’m getting real tired of the black and white arguments about people not being allowed to ship Alastor with anyone or just making him allo #and yes I know he is a fictional character and people in the long run can do what ever they want #but I think people need to consider the double standards at okay here as well #if there was a cannon gay or lesbian character being shipped with someone of the opposite sex a lot more people would be complaining #but when aroace fans try to say the same things about alastor we get told to calm down because he is a fictional character #radioapple #radiodust #radiostatic #ace alastor #aroace alastor #i say stuff #asexual alastor #hazbin hotel

I think we should give Rise!Casey a little brother named Angel and do something angsty with that

#Because in 2003 Casey had a little sister named angel I think that'd be fun #I personally think that all the caseys deserve a little sibling named angel and I've seen people at her or an equivalent to her in 2012 #But never in rise and I feel like that's a shame cause I think you can get some really good angst out of that make him feel hurt about her #But then again this fandom doesn't really do anything with Cassandra they all just forget about her existence and only think of JR #And Junior is great and all come on guys he's shadows equivalent he's the Casey Marie of rise NOT the Casey Jones ™ #Uh I got ranty #Also give him dyed blue hair #a rare original post #I've never actually watched 03 so I don't really know her personality very well but -\_(o-o)_/- #tmnt #rottmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #Casey Jones #angel jones #I can't believe I forgot the Cassandra Jones tag #Cassandra jones

ik everyone and their mother has said this already but I appreciate how many episodes of puppet history focus on non-white stories and are both respectful and dont just focus on mass suffering at the hands of white people, and when they do have episodes involving that they still make sure to focus on the people fighting back and not just "oh this horrible thing was done, sad!"

Also I appreciate how Shane makes an effort to pronounce shit correctly, and to be respectful of people's cultures and spirituality, and to find lesser known stories from these cultures. It's always cool to go into the comments and see people who usually don't see their history or people acknowledged talking about how happy the episode made them.

#I hope he does an episode on ndn history I feel like it would heal the part of me who had to sit through 30000 white history teachers #all telling the same story #as good as it is to be in a time where colonization and native people get acknowledged beyond the basic “they were there and then we were!” #bs it's also like. ive had several times where ive had to step out in class bc my white teacher was talking about how white people #slaughtered ppl like me. in horrific horrific detail. some stories which still haunt me. #I know much of our history is soaked in tragedy but I would be happy to see a puppet history episode talking about what we did divorced fro #the white man or at least. what we did when we werent being betrayed and raped and murdered. yk. cause i feel like thats literally all #people know about us. its probably a reason why so many white americans think we're not around anymore haha #if I could commission a puppet history episode i'd commission one on ndn history tbh #sorry tags got ranty #puppet history #shane madej

I still believe in Luz and Hunter being siblings. To me, that meaningful moment in Thanks to Them really cemented it. There really doesn’t have to be any official adoption papers involved, he always has a place in the Noceda household and he and Luz just have a special connection, no matter how you swing it.

I am still a little perturbed that there was no interaction between Luz and Hunter during the epilogue. I try not to be too salty because I realize they had limited time, but it does irritate me that Amity, Gus, and Willow all had lines toward Luz but Hunter got nothing. Perhaps Zeno didn’t have a lot of time to do lines or something, I know that can happen. Or more likely, it WAS just time constraints.

It just almost feels bad that they had that whole big scene of Luz calling him family and then Hunter becoming wracked with sobs of happiness over it, only for nothing solid to happen with it for the rest of the series. I mean, it’s enough, but also just not enough. It seems like they could have at least done a Luz and Hunter hug at some point in the epilogue, I would have loved that!

(Also I’m fine with the idea of Hunter having multiple parental/mentor/guardian figures in his life without any official adoption papers, so please don’t @ me. There absolutely doesn’t need to be official paper work for found family to be meaningful! <3 )

#ranty rambles #luz and hunter are siblings #noceda siblings #and before anyone says it yes I know vee and king are her siblings as well #I love the idea of ALL of them being siblings #the noceda-clawthorne siblings! #it lives rent free in my head and I still believe in it #the owl house #not a criticism I'm just expressing a wish #I will always love fics where luz and hunter are siblings #even better if vee and king are included tbh

One of the things that still hurts me deeply about hair removal culture is the loss of innocence. I was sitting in a shopping centre today having a drink and I saw this little girl, maybe around 8 or 9 with her mum and older sister, I think Turkish, and she had this glitzy little tank top on, probably dressing up for he last day of school since it's school holidays now. She had visible dark hair up to her shoulders and on her lower back and she was running around playing with her sister without a care in the world, just looking so happy and free and I felt a pang in my heart, I was both so happy and so sad for her. I thought about the last time I was unaware of my body hair or of my body at all, and I can't even remember it. I remember being 7 or 8 and messing around with the sink when washing my paintbrushes at school and one of the kids pointed out how dark the hair on my arms was when it got wet. And since then I couldn't stop noticing it and how much darker and more visible it was than everyone elses, even the boys, especially whenever I had to put on a tshirt for P.E. or a dress in the summer. And I remember going home one day and trying to cut all my arm hair off with a pair of craft scissors and my mum found out and was so angry because she thought that I since cut the hair it was going to grow back even thicker and darker and that I was going to look like a freak (her exact words - thanks mum). So she started waxing my 8 year old arms with hot wax even though it burnt my skin. Then when I was 10 she started waxing my legs. Then my underarms, then my bikini line, and when I was 17 she tried to persuade me to get a brazilian wax.

The world is just so messed up for little girls, it's like no one cares that you're a child, you're a female first so you have to fit the standard of beauty from childhood at whatever cost. It's like a curse, as soon as you become aware of some new 'flaw' you can't unsee it or stop thinking about it and you're expected to 'fix' it. And it's getting even worse with the rise of even more ridiculous beauty standards and procedures and social media and now we're seeing 14 year olds with anti aging routines. I genuinely feel like the destruction of innocence as a girl is such a scarring experience, you stop being a relatively carefree and happy child who is unaware of the expectations of beauty and start having to become a 'girl'

#anti hair removal #idk really know how to tag this #and all this to say nothing about the other jarring girlhood experiences #being expected to do more chores and be more domestic #having men sexually harass you even though you're a CHILD #i literally got harassed and followed and catcalled more at 14 than I do now #i love girlhood but i also hate girlhood #i want girls to be children first and not girls if that makes sense #ranty ramble #personal

All numbers are imaginary. Some are useful.

So, @lipshits-continuous (I like your blog very much!) was bringing to my attention someone who was, let's say, a little frustrated about having to learn "imaginary numbers". You know. They're not even real.

I don't want to write about that person specifically, I don't know them at all.

But.

My siblings in crisis.

There are no "real" numbers in this world. The act of counting is already an abstraction. If you have an apple and a pear, then counting them as two pieces of fruit is an act of forgetting all the properties that distinguish them and remembering only those that unite them. Same goes for two apples of course.

So the number 2 is already entirely imaginary. Made up. Nonsense.

This gets worse very quickly, by the way. You can't have negative apples! Sure, you can have positive fractions of apples, but I can assure you: Two halves of an apple do rarely make one apple, except when they are the two halves of the same apple. And even then: Having them cut up makes it impossible to rejoin them. Think about that.

Now you know where this is going, because let's talk about the so-called ""real"" numbers. Nasty little things. Have a look at the irrational numbers. First, there are comparatively tame irrationals: Algebraic numbers. These arise as roots of integer polynomials. You know, like our favorite, the square root of 2, the positive zero of X^2 - 2.

Did you know that the Pythagoreans believed that everything was in integer relation to each other. (For example: the lengths of a rectangular triangle could be 3-4-5, meanging one cathetus is 4/5, the other 3/5 the length of the hypotenuse.) And that when someone found out that sqrt(2) was indeed not in integer relation to, say, 1, they had him murdered? That didn't change the fact that they were wrong though. (This story is not true, of course, like all good stories. You could say: it is imaginary, but nonetheless an interesting tale to tell!)

And now, the non-algebraic, so called transcendent numbers. Like pi. We know (the abstract concept of) pi well enough to calculate the circumference of the observable universe up to the accuracy of a neutrino (or so they say, I'm not a physicist). We don't have to know it any better. We could quit at however many digits we know and that would be pi. Perfectly rational. Because if we are looking for """real""" numbers only, why should we ever even concern ourself with those nasty things?

Did you know that transcendent numbers make the vast majority of real line? Of course you do! Rationals are countable, integer polynomials are countable and thus are their roots. The real line is famously uncountable, so must be the transcendent numbers.

So. Our so called """"real"""" numbers are mostly non-precisely calculable numbers. (Arbitrarily precise, but not precise.)

Do you know what kind of numbers are used in electrical engineering? Me neither because I'm not an electrical engineer. That's right, complex numbers! Actual engineers have to actually work with the actually imaginary square roots of negative one.

Maybe Numbers aren't a thing of this world.

Maybe Abstraction is a thing of our worldview.

And maybe we can learn to cherish abstract math the way we learn to cherish abstract art: Not always a true representation of reality, but a thing of interest and beauty in itself.

Quietly chanting he's Jewish he's Jewish they're Jewish under my breath every time I come across a fic where the batfam celebrates Christmas

Like. Ok in the manor? Yeah ok. Jason is probably Catholic. Alfred is whatever. Dick? Maybe. Probably a mix of everything that was around in the circus. Like yes they can get a tree and do the Christmas stuff. Fine. But don't write about TIM (he's Jewish) bringing his long lost childhood dream of Christmas ™️ to the manor to celebrate it with Bruce let them have at least Hanukkah if we really need to and like yeah I'd struggle to write it myself since I'm not Jewish myself but how about a Jewish holiday that's not Hanukkah and completely different from Christmas but like I know there's ones that are more important than Hanukkah.

#the people here are mostly Christian and Muslim so I don't exactly know when those holidays are but. #this got more ranty than i expected but for once I'll keep it on main fuck it #and yeah it's not #like #perfect i know don't come at me #it's just bugging me that Christianity #Christianity is bugging me #i mean as an atheist technically all religions #but let's not get into this #kinda lost the point a bit here #anyway #batman #batfam #tim drake #bruce wayne

I totally understand being wary of the shortness of the season cause I get that way too but sometimes I see takes that are like “but how would they have time for x thing” and then say something extremely important to the plot… like yeah the writing will have to be tight but what do you think is gonna happen in those 10 hours. Just dead air.

#kinda ranty #stranger things #byler #<- target audience #stranger things 5 #the season is not just fighting monsters and lore!! #there are other things!! #me when i make a post discussing an important character conflict that needs resolve and i get a response in the tags that says #‘oh but they probably wont resolve it’ LIKE HUH????? #I JUST EXPLAINED WHY THAT THING IS INTEGRAL TO THE PLOT??? I THINK THEY’LL MAKE TIME FOR IT SINCE YA KNOW #ITS IMPORTANT???

FINALLY SOMEBODY ELSE TO MOURN LIN WITH! They did her so wrong man ;_; We *had time to save her* man!!

I SWEEEAAAR

I'VE NEVER SEEN HER DEATH SCENE BEFORE AND I AM JUST--SO UPSET??? Like I'm not someone who gets overly emotional with video games usually, but that shit HURTS? SO MUCH??

I wanna know how we got out of the trunk but then just left her ass. Like even if she was dead by that point why did we not at least get her body? (Maybe to maintain cover but if they already know Lin is a Saint who cares). Left my girl FLOATING IN THE RIVER.

ALSO FUUUCK the dude who kidnaps/kills her because he was WAY too creepy towards her. Like the way he talks to her makes me feel so eugh.

Just everything about her death is WILD and for WHAT? Just to kill the best female character in the game? WACK DECISIONS.

#I guess it could be argued Playa runs for it because this is probably the closest he has to an actual ''canon'' death at this point #but still #SAVE MY GIRL #In another world we save her and everything is okay but NOT THIS ONE APPARENTLY #ALSO THE FACT YOU CAN CALL HER BACK AS A ZOMBIE IS SO CRUEL #I'm sorry this is a little ranty but Saints Row has never impacted my like this #Like Carlos' death in 2 hurt but Lin's is DEVASTATING to me #asks #coleblackblood #saints row #She should have lived #She should have lived and been a role model for Shaundi #They should have smoked pot from a light bulb together /hj #also very nice to know you like saints row because i love these games very much

i'll forever wish that hsmtmts was one of those shows that got 22 episodes a season so every character and plotline could've been given the proper treatment they deserved. like yeah it's a lot for the premise it had, but more episodes would've meant delving more into their backgrounds or giving more development into friendships and relationships of the show. i'm also still kind of mad that the season that was arguably their weakest ended up with the most episodes, while their stronger seasons had a limited number of episodes.

#season 2 did not deserve that 12 i don't know what disney was thinking #like that season was not only affected by very questionable storytelling decisions #but it was obviously their season the most impacted by covid and the cut storylines and adjustments they had to make showed unfortunately #plus more episodes would've given us a chance to see more into the character's home lives earlier than we got to #things like carlos being rich were never really touched on again #it would've been nice to be introduced to kourtney's family earlier and she deserved more episodes centered on her #even ship wise i'm glad it took 31 episodes before rina got together but we could've had so much more time #this is nitpicky and i was just thinking about how disappointed i was with season 2 #and also people talking more about the characterization in season 4 from some of the ensemble so i just got ranty again lol #hsmtmts #high school musical the musical the series #gina porter #ricky bowen #ashlyn moon caswell #hsmtmts maddox #hsmtmts jet #nini salazar roberts #big red #carlos rodriguez #seb matthew smith #miss jenn #kourtney greene #useryay

I swear to God

I will write and finish the draft of this fuckin' blowjob tonight even if it kills me, because I need this to be DONE with and to not overanalyze it any further - only edit it in the final round.

I'm not even trying to be funny or clickbaitey. Either this scene is just really being a massive pain or it's my brain that keeps getting in the way. Probably both. Definitely the latter. (Also for fuck's sake, it's just a blowjob...)

Please hold me accountable tomorrow morning? You are all absolutely invited to bitch at me if I don't have it finished by then/haven't done an update to this post. (and when I say you're 'absolutely invited' I really mean 'please yell at me, maybe that'll make this go faster'.)

So we know that not much time passed between Chima season 1 & season 2, bu based on the orbs of golden Chi, we can figure out a minimum of how much time passed from Shadowind's first appearance, Episode 8, to he 1st episode of season 2, Episode 21.

Remember, the lions held the race for the golden CHI every month, & even then, there was time in Season 1 where they stopped holding races due to conflict issues.

In the first picture, there are at least 16 golden CHI orbs hidden, plus possibly some that have light appearing (but I can't fully see due to the stupid Tubi time bar not fucking going down when I need it to).

In the second image, there are 17 CHI orbs present. However, some of the CHI shown in the second image are also shown in the first image. So after figuring out which one are & are not in the first image, we end up with 7 new CHI orbs.

So, we can assume that at least 23 months, or about 2 years, passed between Episode 8 & Episode 21. But remember, this is only the CHI we can see. This does not take into account the CHI Lavertus already used, which would increase the amount of time that's passed.

Sooooo, that would mean that more than 2 years passed within that time period, especially since we were shown multiple flashbacks where Lavertus was using different golden CHI orbs.

#legends of chima #lavertus chima #golden CHI chima #yeah this is ranty but I really wanted to get it out there #of course this doesn't take into account the episodes before & after this period #but now we know that Chima took place over years. And just in one season.
