Spoilers ahead for Trolls Band Together

My sister: *happy and vibing that her favorite character of the last years has an older sister like her and they seem to be getting along* :) Me:... Me: Wait, Viva is the eldest child, can't she contest Poppy's claim to the throne? My sister: D:

#Trolls #TBT #Trolls band together #Viva #Poppy Trolls #sorry sis for bringing up politics to your very fuzzy comfort franchise

#I really like the “We're the bad guys' enemy” line. For someone I generally despise Dazai has all my favourite lines in this show… #Idk I can't really vibe with the unbalance that there is between s/kk. #Like when push comes to shove‚ Dazai has the power to keep Chuuya alive or let him die. #I understand why they make a compelling dynamic in their complexity‚ but it just doesn't do it for me. #I'm a little sad my opinion on them hasn't really changed since I watched the anime for the first time... #Also; I really can't vibe with Chuuya allowing Dazai to kill Q. Yes I know Chuuya cares about his comrades deeply. #Yes I know it can be interpreted as Chuuya seeing himself in Q as a living weapon and being disgusted by it #(though I honestly don't think that was intentional of the author). #Yes I know Chuuya is a mafioso and kills people. No I don't think your personal issues justify you being a dick to other people I'm sorry. #Back to my main annoyance with the episode: I must have already talked about this but I hate hate hate the narrative #“the mafia works for the city” “the mafia deeply loves the city too” it's so so sickening and insulting please stop I'm begging. #Please visit any actual city with a rooted mafia presence for once in your life (signed: someone whose hometown was destroyed by the mafia. #The writers really don't know what they're talking about and‚ politely‚ it's offensive.) #Also b/sd keeping being extremely nationalist with Mori (who's largely depicted unsimphatetically for the first part of the episode)– #bringing up western thinkers and subtly mocking Fukuzawa for not knowing them– #and Fukuzawa (the righteous man. the noble spirit and just soul in this episode and Mori's antithesis)– #stepping forward to say that he knows strategists from the east (because who else would he need?) #I don't know if it's meant to symbolize the conflict with an hostile and invading foreign power (the Guild). #But it does come across as. A very isolationist way of thinking. #I know it's subtle but it's really evident for me. And I didn't want to talk about this any further… #But by bringing actual examples of this I hope I can better explain why I think that b/sd holds nationalist views– #and that I'm not just making it up out of nowhere. Otherwise I fear I'd only come off as pettily hostile to b/sd in everything #That's it. I feel like I've been losing a lot of mutuals over my main recently due to not shutting up (sorry) #so I suppose it's only fair I lose them on here too pffttt. #Tune in next week for more bad takes #random rambles

Some character designs I created for my uni course last year as part of a “trope smashing” brief! I really enjoyed how these guys turned out - I see them as a private investigative pair in a fantasy victorian-esque setting, with perhaps some sci-fi elements. And yes, they’re husbands.

(silly doodle under cut)

#character design #concept art #illustration #orc #fantasy #brains and brawn #i dont think i ever came up with names for these guys BUT i did come up with mad backstory and setting lore #fae mafia my beloved....i will use u in another project #brains guy comes from a noble family off-planet and they all kinda view him as the wierd cousin who's taking his gap year #to do silly little detective stuff #they don't really know and dont really care. they're idle rich hes allowed to be eccentric and not earn anything #he goes home to the big family reunion every space-fantasy christmas and they're all happy to see him #make various affirming noises about whatever case hes excitedly talking about #slight dissaproving sniff at his boytoy stealing the cutlenery Again but theyre FAR too polite to bring that up #(brain knows. he acts oblivious but encourages this. he thinks its hilarious.) #(boytoy= theyve been married for 20 years and counting. his family is STILL hoping its a phase) #(its not these bitches are ride or die for each other) #anyway yeah space fantasy holmes and watson who are gay married and take cases for free purely on the basis of what interests them most. #if they dont like you they charge u tho sorry #brawn has the most insane swimmer physique btw its ALL in the upper torso #rabid dog of a guy who Bites #no thoughts head empty motherfucker #they are so sickly affectionate to each other its unreal. type of guys to constantly do the bit where they pretend to meet each other for #the first time and flirt immediately. you think its sweet until you have to hang out with them for longer than an hour. its insufferable #love them <33 #anyway sorry for long tags!!! got carried away #art #my art #digital art

Just saw a post that's like "if you don't have someone of [x race/gender/sexuality/religion] in your friend group you're racist/sexist/homophobic/etc."

Girl.

My friend groups are Not Here for your fucking representation. Real actual life is not a show or a videogame. You click with who you click with and I immediately distrust someone with like 20 friends from every known minority more than someone with like 2 friends that have things like race/religion/gender in common with them.

Like. Is it not infinitely weirder and more x-phobic to feel the need to walk up to [specified token minority] and try to befriend them even if?? You don't have any reason to and don't think you'd get along?? Like if this person isn't wearing cool clothes (especially related to stuff I'm into like bands), or saying anything particularly interesting that I'm listening to, what? I should just make it my job to be their friend? Because my friend group needs more "rep"? I'm not a corporation. I don't give even half a fuck about your movement if your movement wants to tell me who I must and must not be friends with. Fuck you.

#saw a post saying if you dont have a person of colour in your friend group youre racist #making this post separately as to not start drama with the OP #but like #you are not obligated to have token minorities in your friend group. like. you should be friends with ppl bc u like them #im literally so mad at this i was nodding along w the post till i got to that #like huh? #what??? #apparently i was racist in high school because i had like 2 friends and neither were poc #til #not to be one of those guys but sjw culture is bullshit #nowadays everything is more about using token minorities for political and monetary reasons other than actual helpful activism #im sick and tired of it and im sorry but your status as a minority does not make you less fucking boring to me #theyre bringing minority pandering to regular human relations now too.. #yes my friends are parts of minorities sorry theyre not all of them #how about you shut up :)

it's vital to me that in season 2 stede has a parasol (secretly pointy edition) as his weapon of choice. he's seemingly just carrying this parasol around as fashion item like in s1 until there's a fight brewing and we see him unsheathe a hidden fencing sword from it, after which it cuts to someone walking in to find stede standing amidst dead bodies innocently fixing his frilly sleeves or whatever with the folded parasol neatly tucked under an arm.

#i saw a tweet somewhere about how he should hit people with his parasol. well im one upping it #he's polite but it's only a veneer to hide that he's completely unhinged with a deep capacity for violence lmao #sorry to bring this up in 2022 but. yes kingsman vibes. in so far i remember ANYTHING from that movie i havent watched it since it came out #ofmd #our flag means death #stede bonnet #if someone here has any art talent: go ahead

#… i had nothing to do with the announcement #i had set my phone down #was playing a silly game with some other friends #sorry i can't devote every waking moment to policing the online experience #i'm just here to blorbopost… and this is exactly why i don't bring up politics #idk if you're even seeing this. or reading it. or if you even care to look #but my heart #while empathetic #cannot process empathy on a worldwide scale. nobody's heart can do that #humans aren't built for it #so thanks i guess. for assuming the worst in me #i'm distraught.

still absolutely love the pictures of the abu dhabi 2022 dinner because they all look like theyre genuinely enjoying themselves, both in the restaurant and the group pictures, they're all laughing and playing around

#i feel like if thats the mark you leave on the sport it's something that can't be weighed in trophies or stats #sorry im so emo about this #but the whole spending one evening together having a goodbye dinner where everyone is there and puts aside rivalries and feuds got to me #and now that the generation of drivers who grew up sort of normal and who were still super young in professional motorsports #but who had like yknow a life outside of it too #now that theyre leaving and it's more and more kids who grew up with this sword of serious motorsports hanging over their heads #it's just good to see them laughing together #like theres still something *there* and while it's all sponsorships and team politics and shit #theres still love and theres still this spirit that makes me love motorsports against better judgement #where everyone can come together and bring back a tradition #im so emo about this actually #that's what's so good about sports (besides seing your faves win and the ones you hate lose)

To all the people who claim that climate change isn’t real, my city is covered in smoke from 400 fires in another country. The sky is fucking orange and sports events have been canceled. New York as of yesterday had the “worst air quality in the world”. We need legislation and initiatives to stop climate change and make sure everyone stays safe

#Sorry I try not to bring up politics #But it’s so scary #To look at the sky and not be able to see buildings through the orange haze #Nyc #canada wildfires

YES my username on yt is a blood bros reference :33 i need to go to crimes world again i know in my heart and soul that i love her but i seldom show her attention .. i need to care her more ..

HOOFRAY!!!! also pretty please do!!!!!!! for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#such a good album it is Insane that like. you never really see it talked about outside of certain spaces #and even then it was originally derided for being much less heavy than its predecessors #such a smart album lyrically and even in just like certain songs like peacock skeleton with crooked feathers #which btw is my go-to song to introduce people 2 them #for obvious reasons. the way the vocals play off each other #the keyboard #aforementioned lyrics because man they’re good at writing political lyrics that are simultaneously very pointed and relevant to this day #and also just plain fun. the way they word stuff rolls off the tongue very well #which I suppose is very much in part to Whitney being a very literary guy from what I’ve read up about him #SPEAKING OF!!!!! Jesus Christ the vocals. the vocals #(positive) #very very powerful for a guy who was like…. 21-22 at the time of recording I’d reckon? #I know whitney’s vocals are a turn off for the band for most people but imo? it’s one of the main appeals. 2 me he is like an insanely good #vocalist. almost jealous that he can hit those notes as a cis guy and I can’t cause omfg in like. wolf party near the end #HOW DOES A GUY MANAGE THAT….. #I love how they incorporated elements of other genres in it. like I don’t see them as indie rock like people #for whatever reason #like to describe them as in that album #but you can hear the elements. bringing up wolf party again cause nick zinner did some of the guitar in that and he’s in an indie band no? #yeah yeah yeahs or whatevs. they’re cool seeming I should check ��em out #ALSO sorry I kind of glossed over Blilie. he’s really fucking good in the album obvs!!!! #pretty sure he did the album art which. omfg it’s had an aesthetic chokehold on me as of late #and also just. he has a nice voice #the sort of warbley thing he has and also his screams… goated #contrary to my posting #I’m actually a bliliegirl I’d consider myself lol. Whitney happens to also have a psychic chokehold on me #this is obvious. I go by Johnny and want to go blonde HMMMMM I WONDER WHY.. #my bad for rambling in tags I just. I love that album so deeply #it’s very meaningful to my identity and songs like the title track and beautiful horses just. get me right at my core #evil neighing compilation

hm for the record i am still very much a communist and still very much support countries like the old USSR and the DPRK and i am 100% against NATO in 100% of the cases because NATO is nothing but a tool of imperialism that is always working for its own self interest no exceptions, no matter what that might mean for innocent civilians caught up in the crossfire. but like you CAN be against something while also being against what theyre against yk. idk where this idea that im a russia supporter comes from lol ive never said anything of the sorts. being willingly provoked into retaliation by NATO doesnt make russia a good guy it just makes NATO a bad guy who was working out of self interest

#neon.txt #i dont bother to make posts about my political views because its impossible to discuss with people who refuse to debate out of good faith #like no matter what i say the moment they hear 'the USSR was not evil actually' all liberals will understand is #'communism is flawless and i love putin and stalin did nothing wrong ever and there were no mistakes in the old USSR' #its just 🤷‍♂️ pointless. ive gotten facts wrong in the past thats for sure but like everytime i end up correcting myself in the end #but people never wanna bring up those cases 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ #im saying this because grape asked me to explain myself and i think its a fair request 🫶 #TLDR modern russia very bad NATO bad as well #USSR was not flawless obviously but half of what you know of it is propaganda or things extremely lacking in context #i am always willing to debate these things but i ignore and block anybody who wants to debate out of bad faith #i am a communist. and i look up to real communist experiences for guidance and inspiration. both for their flaws AND their hits. #because there is absolutely no point to being a communist or being against capitalism if you arent willing to actually Do something about it #and Doing Something means there will be mistakes eventually. as is discussing politics. as much as i wish that was the case i cant #get my facts right 100% of the time lol sorry about that but like i am ALWAYS willing to listen to people who arent being bitches about it

[bill-gates-hate-blog]

my mom and i might be the same person

#date went as well as i could expect #i knew he was a Democrat (tm) but i was not prepared for him to be a right wing democrat #i didn't really bring up my politics but #he insulted (blanketly) all anarchists and communists #and i left almost immediately after that #i didn't tell him what I was #it's ok to not share my politics (though god it would be amazing if i found someone like that) #but the moment you blanket statement say we're all privileged (not true???? in the slightest???) #im like. sorry man. i'm out #just extremely partisan all around

[unicornswilleatyourboobies]

okay racism bad obviously but it is very funny when someone lets something kind of racist slip and very suddenly starts desperately backtracking

#had a um. Interesting conversation with someone today #we were talking about how the world sucks and they said they were 'praying for the people in israel' #and i said smth like 'i'm just so frustrated cos no one cares when israel commits atrocities against palestine' #and all of a sudden they were like. listing every instance where they disagreed with middle eastern people getting discriminated agaisnt??? #now that i think about it they didn't even bring up palestine again they just talked about syrian refugees?? #then i mentioned being iranian and OH GOD... #in response they went 'yknow every time i go to church i pray for lgbt people around the world' #i know that the back tracking is objectively Not Racist but just...the vibes of the entire conversation #some of it's not their fault (like they have a very posh accent) #but they were going on about how all protesting should be “civilised” and smth about enlightenment that they linked to caeser?? #immediatly after i mentioned doing postering (which is illegal on paper but irl no one gives a shit) and gave me some sideeye #there was also a moment when they talked about ppl not being nice to service staff and said #'yknow i'm polite to service staff...unlike a lot of people especially...- not that i think you're impolite to service staff!' #was going to ask what they were implying by that but decided to just drop it cos i was getting tired of the conversation #okay sorry this is so long i was speaking to this person for THREE HOURS whilst researching for an assignment #and they just have. such an intersting combination of opinions #you know you've had a mentally taxing conversation when they end it with 'well that was a wonderful conversation!'

ik strengthening the separation between right and left is what our shitty far right government wants but truly everything they do makes me even more of a leftist every day

#also reading abt shit from the past that i didn't know about bc our media actively suppresses it despite being considered leftist too #schools too. obviously. lots of propaganda #i do think ppl in other countries don't know the full extent of the situation. but like. we don't either #and when i tell my parents for example my dad immediately starts yelling it's all lies even when i bring up official sources #bc it's so ingrained in the older generation to blindly support the country. and like. i know why! #my dad's parents were holocaust survivors so ofc he'd blindly trust the country's history when they would've died otherwise! #but this is ignoring the more recent stuff in favor of that historic image that helped #...man i wanna move to another country. I'm also just. scared. not just by our government but wars too #it's no wonder everyone in this country has ptsd and/or anxiety 😭😭😭 we can't rest for a moment there's always gotta be Something #vent #a political vent oof.. sorry #the situation here is. not good to say the least ajskflh
