this week on: my dreams
i made friends that ive never felt safer and happier with (these friends were not my irl friends, my irl friends WERE in the dream, but my focus and love was on these new people)
and
an apocalypse world where being robin/batman is heavily illegal but it has nothing to do with the apocalypse, i just saw it on a street sign while i zoomed down a street on my feet?? also theres no electricity and i think someone got busted for being robin at the end of my dream 💀

Two women's matches + one women's promo segment, Skye joining Julia and Thunder Rosa returning. The dealer gave Tony his good pure end of the year coke and I thank him for that.

What do you think of Hylia? I’ve seen fans paint her as the true villain of Zelda series. Many of which blame her for the reincarnation cycle, and pretty much every bad thing that happened after SkSw’s era.
I have strong feelings about the fandom’s treatment of Hylia, but I’m gonna try to keep this chill.
Long story short, the hatred for Hylia doesn’t make logical sense.
It’s based on the erroneous assumption that Hylia caused the curse (fun fact, if people bothered playing the game they’d see that it was Demise who did it), or it’s based on botw Zelda’s struggles and frustrations because the story is told from her point of view. Oh no!! Hylia is evil because she didn’t listen as Zelda pleaded!! That’s not how prayer works, guys. You don’t get what you want, you get what you need, and Zelda’s major issue stemmed from her father, the pressure on her, her own insecurities, her lack of training and guidance. It’s a two way street to make things work - for all we know Hylia was trying to reach out to her but Zelda couldn’t hear her over the beratement from Rhoam screaming in her head or the whispers of the people echoing in her brain or her own questioning if she could even do it.
So basically, fandom’s Hylia bashing is based on poorly thought out arguments. Also they use characters who don’t even know who she is??? Like, Time, Legend… they have no freaking clue who Hylia is, guys. Her character didn’t even exist when their games were made. Maybe people are trying to make continuity or something, but Hylia was never mentioned in those eras.
Now! Did Hylia do questionable things? Yeah! Yeah, she did! But you know what else she did? She sacrificed herself multiple times to save her people, she fought her own war to protect everyone and the Triforce. She sent people to Skyloft to protect them while fighting alongside those who likely chose to remain. She died in her battle against Demise. She planned on coming back as a mortal, giving up everything she is, so she could finish the job and eliminate the threat. Yes, she used Link - she took a calculated risk, choosing someone with a pure heart who had the fighting prowess necessary if the need arose, and she befriended him. Yes! She used him! It’s messed up! But she also did everything she could to guide and protect him, and she tried to just do it herself without him if she could.
All that being said, sometimes Hylia bashing makes sense in the context of the narrative and the narrator. If your character/narrator has a beef with her for some reason, then yeah, they’re gonna criticize her. Doesn’t make them right about her. 🤷🏻♀️ But the idea of the fandom vilifying her is just… stupid.
Sometimes I don’t think it has to do with the stories at all, it’s people venting frustrations they’ve had with religious groups. I can’t fault them for that, but when I see that connection it kind of feels like a smack in the face and really freaking hurts, because God and Christianity aren’t people’s bad experiences, but I’m not opening that can of worms. I can’t control everyone’s experiences and nobody wants to hear me say that just because a person or group of people acted like hateful morons doesn’t mean that’s what Christianity is about. So anyway.
I like Hylia. Demise caused the curse. Hylia was trying to stop him before he even had a chance to utter a word. Demise’s curse led to bad things happening.

Skye i think you killed that 1 guy who commented on ur post. Slammed him so hard he evaporated lmao
HGFCFGHHGFV nah i just deleted their comment. but in my mind iam killing them with hammers <3
though it really is best to just delete their comments and not engage with them in any way. the vast majority of these people are just like any other racist, their deep-seated hatred for palestinians is not going to be cured by any internet argument. do not give these fucks a platform

The whole AI thing has always been fucking disgusting on its own, but using it for roleplay by intentionally stealing from your own community? Vile beyond words that can be said out loud.
It's in my ToS and it applies to all my stuff, but reminders don't hurt: I never have given consent to my work being fed to AI datasets and I never will.
And as a rule of thumb, no one consents to it unless they explicitly say so.

I find it absolutely fascinating how when I was younger and objectively the target demographic for the first Trolls movie I was so adamant on "I'm a big girl now, I'm too mature to watch this, this movie is for babies and I Am Not A Baby so I can't watch it" (Even though I desperately wanted to and eventually tricked myself into watching the whole movie through clips on YouTube) and now here I am, legally allowed to drink and on my way to getting a driver's liscense, and not only have I spent my hard earned money I got from My Job for tickets to see Band Together at the movie theater, but am also actively getting brainrot over it. What is going ON

Au contraire, eppe can and should be flashy but you have to be facing someone of EXACTLY identical skill level because the first person to make a mistake gets stabbed
That's pretty true but I'm at the skill level where everyone feels just confident enough to go for hand touches so whenever I fence someone at my same level it just looks like we're waving our weapons at each other. Sabre on the other hand is the sport where the flashiest moves win.

Grief, Outsiders, and Good Writing from AoS Season 1: An Incredulous Word-Vomit
One thing I’m struck by when it comes to AoS 1x09 is just how the Skye and May dynamic is handled. The way the show puts it, May has been through something awful and lost herself in the process: the warm, fearless version of May that Coulson used to know - whom he likens to Skye - is gone. The May we know is colder, less expressive.
Somewhere where the show struggles is portraying Skye as being right in most scenarios. Like, even if her points are eventually disproven, oftentimes whatever principle she enters with is the one she leaves with (secret-keeping and levels in 1x07, cracking open Ward in 1x03) including 1x09; this one being that there’s something wrong with May that needs to be fixed. That by bringing her onto the Bus, Coulson is trying to “see if that person is still in there” and can be brought back.
I touched on this in my longer episode 9 meta, but one of the key pieces of May that Skye has yet to understand is that she does not need to be fixed. She is in the process of healing, she faces her trauma, and she still has the pieces of her that make her good and compassionate. Just because she is not bright and cuddly does not mean she doesn’t love her team. She messes with Fitz, she’s the one who comforts Skye when Jemma might be dying (if you look in the background of that scene in 1x06 you can see her leading Skye away with a gentle hand on her back), she is the one who helps Ward after his encounter with the Berserker staff.
Honestly a lot of what I’m saying here contradicts, but the main point is that May does not need to fixed and the show taking Skye’s side on the matter is a fault.
What’s interesting though is that they seem to also see the other side of things. The writers get May, and May herself seems to know that she doesn’t need to be fixed even if Skye and the audience does not. She tells Coulson that there’s only moving forward in their talk about scars, she is the only one capable of wielding the Berserker staff, she and Skye even talk later about harnessing and user her anger!
It seems like the show wrote an incredible commentary on grief, the healing process, and how the people around us view our changes, or they did it on accident. Since I like to give AoS the benefit of the doubt, I like to assume it’s the former. Coulson is still searching for the old May because he’s mourning the woman he knew. May is feeling pushed because his perspective is being backed by an outsider who doesn’t understand her situation at all. (Is it clear that Skye kind of pisses me off in season 1? I hope it is). Human relationships are messy, and if you look at it from that angle, it’s actually done really well.
Shit, this is becoming a mess. I’m just talking myself in circles, because of course we aren’t supposed to love Skye in season 1, that is literally the point. Her whole thing is based around prying for information, and May’s whole thing is not wanting her information pried into. Skye makes great progress through season 1 and keeping secrets is an actual plot point ughhhhhh I’m talking myself in circles. AH.
Uhhhh summary: I don’t like Skye because I’m not supposed to, which I think is referred to as “good writing,” and the show actually handles messy human relationships and trauma so well it’s turning me around and around trying to get a handle on it

just saw someone respond to a joke about going to get lobotomized for making a homophobic and transphobic take by blurting out the various intersections of their identity that have historically been subjected to medical experimentation and i’ve decided i’m logging off forever and never coming back. that’s how you know someone is arguing in bad faith, because they took an edgy internet comment way too seriously and acted like this person was personally targeting them instead of just, you know, responding to their homophobia and transphobia by telling them to go get brain scrambled
hypothetically if you put out some brainless take like “men are awful but trans men are the superior type of man :)” and i tell you to go get the Rosemary Kennedy treatment, i may be an edgy fuck in that instance but you’re literally the one being transphobic so i really don’t know what to tell you
