#the situation is absolutely ridiculous

[bruneburg]

So I'm back from the Slovenia trip. (I was there bc Animateka film festival screened Entbandung there, invited me for an Q&A and paid for the hotel stay.) I went there by train, and not only did I end up stranding on my way there and having to spend an unplanned night in a small Austrian town - I also ended up stranding on my way back home, again ending up spending an unplanned night... ...in the same little Austrian town. At the same hotel. In the same hotel room even. Definitely one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me. Luckily, Austrian Federal Railways had given me a hotel voucher every time that happened. And the town is very charming, with a lovely Christkindlmarkt. So I didn't mind too much. But my way back home did double from 15 hours to 30 hours. Once I was home it still felt like I was still in a train and the world was still moving and shaking around me, until I fell asleep. Ljubljana and Animateka were great by the way. It was nice to explore the city and get to know other student filmmakers at the festival. I hope I'll one day get to go there again.

#the little austrian town was Villach by the way #the germans here probably know why I stranded on my way home #the whole snow related catastrophic train situation in the Munich area and parts of Austria #Deutsche Bahn really needs more funding for basic railway maintenance #the situation is absolutely ridiculous #i couldnt afford the time and money really go to film festival screenings of my film until recently #unless they were in my home city #so im so glad I had the chance to go to two of them this winter #feels like a relief #film is aging out of its festival phase soon #so who knows how many film festival acceptances the film will still get #entbandung #text #non art #nonart #text post #update #Austria #this trip and meeting the people there made me feel a lot of feelings about my own cultural background #which is volga german and caucasus german #I feel that helped me feel familiar there in a way and connect to the filmmakers there in a way that I wouldnt have been able to if #if i had a more common german background #without any exposure to slavic language and culture

One of my favorite moments in the finale is Sokka using his pristine acting skills to announce to the whole airship that they will be celebrating a birthday during one of the most important missions in fire nation history, and then everyone on the crew collecting in the drop chamber like they were asked and acting like it's the most normal thing ever because apparently it's common to have birthday parties on fire nation war vessels during extermination missions.

#it's just the best #like not only is the dialogue one of the best jokes in the show #the whole circumstance surrounding the situation is absolutely ridiculous and i love it so much #avatar the last airbender #atla #avatar #sokka

some of you never grew up in a small conservative town as a (gay) nerd that was bullied, harassed, and excluded for years on end for not fitting in and for visibly and enthusiastically liking geek things—geek things that then branded you a satanist in everyone's eyes and as something Other, Lesser, and Undoubtedly Unworthy of Basic Human Decency even though you were literally just an actual child with harmless interests and not a satanist or an evil disgusting subhuman thing, and it shows.

you cannot apply modern views and beliefs to a show that is set in the eighties, especially not when it's set in conservative midwest eighties which is a whole other beast. being a socially awkward and nonconforming geek is something that people STILL get bullied for if you don't do it in a way that the majority deems "acceptable", especially if you live in a conservative, religious area.

your experiences are not universal and your inability to relate to a certain motif or story does not make it "lesser" or "bad writing."

#stranger things #mike wheeler #<- tagging and then disappearing into the mist again bc i don't like it here lol. #girls when they love stranger things because they finally see characters just like them with the same exact experiences written with such #care and respect for those that have been Deemed Other but people who have not had those experiences refuse to believe that they're #realistic and STILL happen to people bc if they're fortunate to have not gone through that then clearly that means that it doesn't exist #and if it does then it's not Traumatic Enough or a good enough plot to cause such inner turmoil in the characters who experience that #💥🛼 #i got bullied for being a nerd in the 2000s and 2010s. you can absolutely get bullied for being a nerd and being a nerd is enough reason #for social exile in some places. when dustin said that no one was nice to him or mike? when lucas said that girls laughed at them? and it's #all because they're deemed freaks and satanists for liking fantasy things? that's Real and it doesn't hurt any less just because you think #it's not a good enough reason to bully someone. #i was called a satanist to my face by adults. people acted like i was some Creature or whatever just because i liked fiction and wasn't #interested in what the majority was interested in and wore dark clothing sometimes. like.. hello. school shooter jokes? the way #that neurodivergent people get treated when they're visibly ''different'' and enjoy things passionately? the way that liking star wars was #a thing to ridicule until it suddenly became Acceptable and Popular to like? i feel like i'm living in a different reality than so many #people here with the way that they talk about certain things in this show. and don't even get me started on the way people approached #the angela and el situation.... #maybe just be glad that these things did not happen to you and stop acting like it's lesser or a bad story bc of that? just a thought.

People on tiktok saying you should never walk off the path in the forest how does it feel to be little red riding hood's mom-coded

#ok context - it's about preserving an ecosystem #obviously in specific situations I'm on board #icelandic moss obviously #and places where the ecosystem is actually endangered/at risk #but a. surely in a lot of forest areas humans are actually part of the ecosystem? #and b. I grew up with forests and woods where it was absolutely fine and nothing's endangered as long as you try to avoid trampling #on bluebells #so it's a little ridiculous to me that apparently you can never do it #also also this isn't recent this was a few videos from 2020 that I think about at least once every two months

Even more respect to Luan for when he found out that Helena is Bia’s sister and has been keeping it a secret that she’s alive for ten years, his response is “GIRL WHY? THIS IS RIDICULOUS??” and he sticks to his guns on that point

#I love this guy I love this guy I love this guy #i do have to say though I was disappointed that he found out in the most boring way possible (overhearing a conversation) #I have decided that I will only be posting updates about Luan and Pietro/Daisy because this show is too complicated #also it was recently revealed that he and Pixie unbeknownst to either of them play with each other in this video game they both play and #absolutely hate each other’s guts in the gamer world #it’s like a reverse you’ve got mail situation and I’m so here for it #also Daisy is now suspecting Luan of being her secret admirer which is ridiculous like girl?? you know he’s into Pixie?? everyone and their #mom knows he’s into Pixie???? #disney bia #I am so sorry to everyone who is sick of me talking about this show I shall make you a blockable tag #oh crap val’s telanovellablogging

I think you should be made aware that theres a minidrama on twitter claiming Shiver fans to be racist. Which...some might be. My mutual in law got DOGGED recently and i saw all of it (all they did was make a lil joke i think

so i’ve heard… :( the entire situation is terrible , honestly. i’m not big into splatoon but i am a brown person, and seeing the infighting between fans about the racism and colorism in the fanbase is. stressful, to put it VERY lightly

i’m very sorry to hear what happened to your mutual-in-law. the recent splatfest has a LOT of people agitated. thankfully nobody has been rude to me yet, but knowing the internet (and how things are going right now) who knows how long that’ll last

#era.txt #anon #this entire ‘situation’ is ridiculous in my opinion #i’m absolutely not discrediting the blatant racism and colorism of the fanbase because that absolutely exists #i’m talking about how RIDICULOUSLY rigged the splatfests are. especially the latest few #its horrible that one of the biggest reasons why frye isn’t winning is BECAUSE she’s brown. that’s it. its because people are terrible #its horrible to think that she has a disadvantage just because her skin is darker than shivers. i dont know how to articulate my feelings-> #<-properly but just know that i find this entire thing EXTREMELY tiring. i feel like im walking on eggshells here #IM VERY SORRY FOR THE LONG RANT! #i know i couldve said some things better here but i just woke up from a 6 hour nap oops #if you need anything tagged here feel free to lmk

Alex fell through the Mists and landed in another world after everything has settled in Tyria aka I like to create the same character in different action games because I like putting him in different scenarios and worlds

It's morning it's the best time for silly ideas, partially based off @clearlitebergaming 's post on the WoL and Commander

#; doodles #; Alexander Rufus #this is 100% indulgence thinking on my end don't mind me #also i really wanted Alex to say fuck #he doesn't swear very much unless the situation is absolutely ridiculous #also i drew that crystal bit based on shoddy memory of the character creation don'tlookatme

In Absolute Being AU it’s interesting how Jinwoo and Jinchul’s progression differs

Jinwoo was gradually growing into his strength having time and space to figure it all out and practice even having literal guiding material with him all the time

Jinchul in this case is completely opposite: he wasn’t growing into his strength, it just hit him like a truck at critical moment, he has no one to guide him through his own ‘can’ and ‘cannot’, he has no guide and no idea what to do with it all

Ashborn’s strength allowed Jinwoo to bloom and take roots, while Absolute Being’s, while creational in it’s core, literally hurts Jinchul.

Jinchul’s health started to become worse even more than usual, some S rankers can feel that something is wrong with his mana, it’s in state of chaos and unrest as opposed to usually calm and stoic one. And then one day nothing seemingly is wrong until Gunhee notices that Jinchul is having a strong nosebleed, Jinchul just touches his leaking blood like ‘oh’ and then he just half coughs half chokes half spits splutter of blood and it’s an absolute mess.

Jinchul’s mana pretty much slowly tears and eats him from inside because human body isn’t supposed to host literal god in it. And since AB’s unlimited pools of mana slowly absorb Jinchul’s, it’s ain’t helping either, and Jinchul himself just can’t take this wild force under his control without outside assistance but from where?

Ashborn is helpful beyond any reason, Jinwoo is gradually becoming more panicking but old man is here on back of his consciousness giving instructions and explanations. Jinwoo felt his shadows that he assigned to Jicnhul being unrest and panicking and he instantly teleports here only to see Gunhee trying to keep Jinchul standing and leaning forward so he won’t choke on his own blood he just keeps coughing out. There’s so much of it, Gunhee’s hands and chest is covered in it, there’s small pool of it on floor, and then Jinchul lifts his head greeting Jinwoo with ‘Ah, good day, hunter Sung’ with hoarse bubbling voice and Jinwoo wants to yell (Ashborn later notes that he did yell extremely loudly inside) because Junchul’s lower half of face is completely smeared in blood, his suit has so much of it that it seems even darker. Man is extremely pale and barely focusing his eyes on Jinwoo’s face and Jinwoo can see how prominent shadows on Jinchul’s face are.

Jinwoo just grabbing Jinchul’s face no questions asked and starts to tune this wild strength in man while making sure that Jinchul coughs out all the blood from lungs. And then Jinchul’s breathing evens, all three stand here still on adrenaline and Jinchul just tiredly closes his eyes for a minute only to fall asleep, Jinwoo and Gunhee silently agree that today Jinchul is having a day off.

#solo leveling #woo jin chul #sung jin woo #absolute being AU #gunhee is a worried dad #god imagine seeing your son having a massive nosebleed and then choking on bloody mess #gunhee panicked and I can’t blame him #jinwoo brainstorming how he can help jinchul with his inheritance only to feel his shadows panicking #the ones he assigned to jinchul #ashborn was the only one calm in this situation (no he wasn’t) #jinchul gonna have a TALK with Absolute Being in his dream space #jinchul being ridiculously calm in this situation and jinwoo wants to slap him #jinwoo: I have no idea what I’m doing but it works so

what i appreciate about midnight motel is that it’s super fast paced, in a really engaging and hilarious way, but it’s also slipping out details about the characters in what feels like the slowest way possible.

the details get fed to us in tiny slithers, flashing unobtrusively up onto the screen in between the beats of the main story - and that makes the pacing of those reveals feel dissonant to the rest of the episode in a really cool way.

and it’s fascinating because it feels like they’re just leaking out small drips of information and then not talking about them again.

but because this is a dark comedy, it’s so hard to know how seriously to take it all - like, are these tiny bits of character story clues as to what’s actually going on? or should we just be taking it at face value, for the wild heightened reality it is?

we’re halfway through and there are all these tiny little plot threads that are appearing without being resolved - like who has pat’s money, what was up with that conversation between mote and doy about kat, who is the boss, what the fuck even happened to pat exactly. also why could tawi from not me track pat’s car, but not his PHONE? bitch, you don’t have find my friends on? also i have questions on literally everything involving sun and kat. so so many questions. also is mote really a teenager bc off jumpol is my age and i look youngish but “teen” is a stretch and like… off… off, my hetero husband, i swear i’m gonna save you from being cast as a teenager one day like i KNOW you’re talented but you don’t deserve to be teencoded like this like i’m gonna help i’m gonna get you out of here-

i’m just so curious as to whether i should be paying closer attention or not to the little things the show has been quietly telling us, or if it’s simply better to just go with it, because it’s a 6-episode comedy that repeatedly breaks the fourth wall, and why think about it too hard.

#midnight motel #it’s probably a solid mix of both right bc like #yes read into whatever the fuck is happening with kat and sun #no don’t think too hard about doy so visibly on the phone to mote while sun is confronting him and sun just being like #tee hee oh well #actually no i can explain that whole thing Actuallt #sun just thought it was cute #and so he chose not to kick off about it #just wholesome lil sundoy things 🥰🥰🥰 #he was too busy threatening women idk listen he’s rough around the edges but i can change him!!! #watch sun die and neo’s role legit be doy’s boyfriend and THEN what do i do #rewrite canon and make it a hilarious poly situation??? well if i must #…..idk how many people on here are actually watching this show but it’s SO fun and SO ridiculous #and the acting is fantastic across the board #and also mond tanutchai #…..i was already so mad at there being zero mond in gmmtv23 but it is honestly just #absolutely criminal #that that’s coming off the back of him in this show #he’s having way too much fun with it though he’s just like Yeah im gonna chew the scenery Yeah im gonna go wildly big with it #and he was right to and good for him #anyway those are all my thoughts #show: midnight motel #series: midnight trilogy

That gifset reminded me of how funny that part of No Way Home is. MCU May talking about how it’s not just good but a necessity to help people however you can because everyone deserves a chance at a better life and we should all stick together ☺️💕 and Norman’s like oh yeah. I have to kill her immediately.

#having him be so ridiculously petty and disproportionately violent about perceived slights is simultaneously Weird but also very funny. #I like the idea that even if he does not have personal stakes in a situation anymore he will create them because he is THAT insecure. #like bro why are you laughing like you won when you’re gonna be killed by some kid you don’t even know?? #you’re gonna die in this world as an absolute nobody as a gotcha??? all that money and power you fought to keep back home down the TOILET! #he is so dumb and ruins everything for himself deep in his core even beyond the goblin thing. so interesting I love him 🫶

if anyone wanted to know the state of mcdonald's "affordability" currently, skip the dishes just dropped off a meal & a half (regular burger, nuggets, fries, drink combo & a happy meal) at my dad's house by mistake & the bill (which we didn't have to pay) is about $40

#it's literally cheaper to make your own food at home now #sorry if this is ridiculous but that is absolutely fucking bonkers to me. what the actual fuck #i personally remember when this specific order was like. under $20 (conservative estimate because my memory is unreliable) #used to be when you heard the guy in front of you in the drivethrough's order come out to like $70 #that they were buying meals for a whole soccer team or something #now it's just for them & their family #bruh for real i'm sitting here going crazy. i'm so happy i started learning how to cook my own food cuz the situation is fucked #they're not even paying their employees man

tourette’s isn’t a joke and it isn’t something funny thank you for coming to my tedtalk🥰

#i’m experiencing anger right now lol #even if he does have ts that doesn’t excuse the world saying omg him saying he has ts was such good comedic timing good for him for using #his ts to be funny like ??? no offense but are y’all stupid ??? #oh but right ts is just a funny haha disorder lol it definitely doesn’t put people in constant pain #i can use a computer mouse without three bandaids on my hands absolutely mhm my ts doesn’t prevent me from being able to use computer mouses #and during ts awareness month too hahahahahahhaha even now our voices are being silenced by ableism and jokes👍🏻 #and everyone speaking up about it is being told they’re being over dramatic and ridiculous about it okay sure nontourettic thanks #anyways i’m just angry #this is a stupid post but i wanted to type it and i feel like y’all are the only people who wouldn’t tell me i’m being overdramatic about #the situation like. i have been in so much pain for. idk most of my life because of this but yeah use it as a punchline mhm

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

oh my god i'm so in love with all the fic ideas you talked about, but especially the last two with the castles kidnapping matt in like a friendly and well-meaning way. it's so funny to me and also the dynamic here would be absolutely excellent. never realised i needed a pro-crime hyper-competent maria castle in my life but apparently i do???

the dynamic in those, but especially the christmas one, is fucking hilarious. i love it so much. i'd write it tomorrow if i had the time

like the castles are treating this like one of those times where you pick up a puppy out of a cardboard box in a kmart parking lot and like, it's a little scrawny and underfed and feral and yeah, it probably would have been smarter to pick one out of the shelter where at least you know they've been checked out and have their shots and everything, but you know, the kids wanted one so bad and it's christmas, and it's cold and the poor thing's probably going to freeze to death in the cardboard box, so you bring it home, and suddenly it's in these new and unfamiliar surroundings and it keeps trying to skitter out the front door every time it opens, so maybe you have to keep it in a back room or tied up for a while and you hand feed it treats until it stops trying to run away and like, you know eventually the puppy's going to warm up to you as long as you treat it right and when that happens you'll have a happy new member of the family that you can probably shove felt reindeer antlers on for the family christmas card

meanwhile matt's treating this like a fucking kidnapping

#it's so funny to me #like matt is somehow in the minority in thinking kidnapping an adult man is a big deal #normally he'd be able to hurl is body out a third story window and fuck off #but devastantly frank is one of the few people on the planet that can go toe to toe with him on a good day #and he keeps dragging matt off the windowsills and acting like matt's being ridiculous for trying to escape his own kidnapping #also he could try to just fuckin. kick flip frank #but it's so much harder to do that to maria and the kids #and it's SO AWKWARD to get into a physical confrontation with the dad of the kids whose lives you saved and who idolize you now #like merry christmas kids i need to punch your dad #maybe the real kidnapping was the societal conventions we found along the way #also matt's not super at one hundred percent on account of he took on the CIA in a t-shirt and sweatpants and like he WON but it's not GOOD #matt spends this entire time like 'please stop trying to teach me about the magic of christmas time' #'i need you to start treating this hostage situation seriously this is a federal crime you are committing a FEDERAL CRIME' #and maria's engaging in mild gaslighting like 'that's a bit dramatic dear here have a sugar cookie' #matt: 'i don't want a sugar cookie i want you to UNLOCK THE HANDCUFFS' #see the thing is that i'm absolutely convinced teh castles are absolutely fucking insane all of them #like we know frank is not above zip tying a child to the bed and kidnapping her for her own safety #maybe they're just all like that #the moral of the story is that this nice young man helped them and is living a horrible fucking existence so there's no reason why #they can't forcefully adopt him and make him take his medication and recover in their nice guest bedroom instead of a fucking boiler room #like this is 60% physical force and 40% a guilt trip keeping him captive
