DUBLIN NIGHT TWO (october 17th, 2023) RECAP:

-Miles looking up and pointing at the mirrorball while singing the lines "I stare up to the moon, and my lonely heart goes boom boom boom once again" during “One Man Band”.

-Alex reaching out for and smiling at a turtle plushie somebody threw on stage before they started playing “Arabella”.

-Alex saying: “Let’s hear it for Miles Kane! Wonderful.” before playing “Fluorescent Adolescent”

-Alex adding: “Do you remember? I remember…” while pointing at Miles at the end of “Fluorescent Adolescent” after the lights went out.

-Miles watching “505” from the side of the stage with Alex repeatedly turning to his right side.

-Alex singing “I Wanna Be Yours” turned to his right for the entirety of the song while walking to the corner of the stage. (After adding the line “I DON’T WANNA BE HERS, I WANNA BE YOURS” while the lights were out, the night before, in Belfast.)

-Alex pointing at Miles and then at himself while singing the line “I found out the hard way that here ain’t no place for dolls like you and me” and singing the rest of the verse directly at that side.

#milex #i think they are also in chronological order #last night was pretty crazy #i like it this way also #them being separate because these are separate acts - Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane - not TLSP - so miles has his full arena spotlight that #he deserves #and these are just little teasing bits and theatrics that we were obviously ment to spot because they are done so openly #(except for the turtle plushie - that’s us being delulu but we’ll let it slide) #miles kane #alex turner #i don’t know man i don’t know what’s going through their heads nor do i know their relationship #but this is cute and fun that’s all THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC #dublin 2023 #good night now i need to chill this is completely ridiculous

Do you guys really believe that killing is the singular bad thing that cops do?

Or even that killing is the most frequent bad thing that cops do?

Are you saying that if cops didn't kill, then they'd be the same as Batman? Because then you're suggesting that effectively Batman already is a cop, with the exception that he hasn't killed (just like the majority of U.S. cops, who have never once shot or killed anybody).

I'm a bit worried to see opinions suggesting that only killing is wrong—and that violence, stalking, and humiliation are okay. In real-life, police commit countless acts of those "little" abuses, terrorizing entire communities, before they murder anybody.

Invading people's privacy is wrong. Hurting people to the point of hospitalization is wrong. Forcibly drugging people is wrong. Putting people in cages is wrong. Torture and "enhanced interrogation" are wrong. Ambushing people in their homes and safe places is wrong. Keeping inexhaustible wealth is wrong.

Superhero comics are power fantasies. Not all fantasies need to reflect our ideology in reality. But once you apply your real-life values to fiction, once you decide that fiction showcases exemplary real-life ideology—then your praise for Batman's ideology does become a worrying reflection of your real-life understanding of social issues.

#copaganda #Bruce Wayne critical #GCPD #fandom discourse #Batman copaganda #police brutality cw #Almost sorry to drag serious discussion of copaganda into ridiculous superhero comics but I swear the other guys started it first... #To be clear I'm completely disinterested in condemning or interrogating Bruce over his personal choice not to kill. #But I am so fascinated in how he justifies his own use of violence and privilege!!! So very very fascinated!! #Once again: LESLIE THOMPKINS IS RIGHT. #Actually I'm not gonna tag this post as @nti Bruce W@yne--because really I enjoy canon Bruce a hell of a lot more than his stans do lol. #Sorry but Batman isn't a darling anti-cop revolutionary. If he were then he'd get in line behind Green Arrow and like the Invisibles. #I mean maybe The Audio Adventures version is anti cop but still in a free-market libertarian power fantasy kind of way if you can dig that. #violence mention cw #murder mention cw #fandom drama #This is why Cheer doesn't work because Red Hood realizes 'Oh I don't want kids to lose their parents like I lost mine-- #--therefore I won't murder anymore. It's time to put my faith in the system. 👼👼👼' #Jason sweetie... you lost your father firstly to criminalization and incarceration for property crime. #You lost your mother to poverty and addiction. You are actually not like Batdaddy and your trauma is not a mere echo of his trauma. #Batman discourse

People are so ridiculous Dream’s response is fine

#he was just trying to clear his own name and he has every right to do so ? #being accused of enabling SA is very serious ??? #he did not condemn or suport George in his statement it reads as completely neutral #which is totally fair to want to hear out both sides esp if one side has been your best friend for the past 10 years ? #he never defended him #it’s just ridiculous how people who called themselves stans not even 24 hours ago are spewing shit like this #give him a break he seems to have been just as in the dark as we were #negativity #.___.

scribbly first date type affair (continuation of my modern au stuff)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #idk when the next modern au thing will be so i'll just post this by itself. hehe #that art was one of qifrey's first drawings. it was of a creepy eye. (it was around the time he got glasses as a kid) #(and was told that he might lose his sight completely one day so he became an emo because he already wanted to be an artist #like beldaruit who ran his foster home where he encouraged kids to draw art to express their feelings.) #and an insidious deviantart group called The Brimhats idk stole it & reposted it. he never got to the bottom of who exactly did it. #but one day. they will fucking suffer. #(he believes their goal was to develop AI art as they said stuff like 'all art should belong to everyone anyway' & 'there shouldnt be rules' #but actually they were probably just regular mean ppl who have moved on to new things in life than stealing kids' art on deviantart. #who knows though.) i want people to retain their disabilities or general tragedies like beldaruit would be in a wheelchair #and coco's mum is in a coma. but its just so funny if qifrey just has regular bad eyesight #and it's so cute that he would say he doesnt think of beldaruit as a dad & is distant with him but now basically runs a foster home too #where he doesnt just encourage like he was encouraged but actively teaches kids from sad backgrounds to become wonderful artists one day #anyway i am so fucking hungry now goodbye #P.S. BELDARUIT IS NOT OLD !!!!!!! i mean if qifrey is late 20s or older in canon like i want... i guess he..but.... NO !!!!!! 😭 #*edits in some follow-up drawings* #oru: i couldn't c-c-confess my feelings bc it always seems like he's worried about something..i shouldnt bother him.. #qif: *always worried about how to confess his feelings* #ive decided meeting at 7 on da is kind of ridiculous actually. i think they probably meet at like age 10 in canon..not immediately =_= #since beru-sama is like 'he finally found a friend'. whatever... this'll be my last art post for a while probably so see ya <3

tumblr seems to be all good with the news of dd2 so far but i think a lot of the more hardcore ppl on reddit, discord, etc expected too much from this game, especially with ppl comparing it to the likes of elden ring (soulsbornes and their impact on the arpg genre is another can of worms for another time tbh) and bg3. from the get go, the devs made it clear that it's a personal passion project that doesn't NEED to try to reinvent the wheel but wants to stick to its personal philosophy as being a primarily fun love letter to old school rpgs including the wacky mechanics of long rests, limited fast travel, etc. than trying to break new industry standards or whatever? idk. obvs i haven't played the game and shit and my opinion is probs gonna change as is normal when playing vs speculating but some ppl set their expectations too high when nobody ever promised mind-bendingly novel mechanics lmao. the game isn't perfect but it never wanted to be anyway

#dragon's dogma 2 #dd2 #i hope this doesnt come off as negativity but like. genuinely what were ppl expecting LOL #the fps thing i understand completely. dipping below 30fps just walking through a town is ridiculous for a 2024 game #and it's annoying that capcom's only patching it because reviewers told them off about it #i feel like they mentioned a couple of times they wanted it to be an improvement of the first gamr mainly

Don't tell me that you want more complicated girl characters in media when you couldn't handle PRINCESS FUCKING BUBBLEGUM

#YOURE ALL LIARS #WHERE WERE YOU #WHERE WERE YOU WHEN HALF THE PEOPLE IN THE AT FANDOM HATED HER #BC I KNOW WHERE YOU WERE #AND IT WASNT WITH HER #i think we should let women be complicated and kind of evil sometimes but also grow as a character #and YOU. DIDNT. #HYPOCRITES #LIARS #i swear its like they watched adventure time with their eyes closed #and distant lands #and the tiny bit of time she showed up in fionna and cake #also i have some gripes with how they treat pb vs prince gumball #but thats neither here nor there #its not TOTALLY unrelated but its not the point of this #also have you seen how people treat the moms in mob psycho as compared to the dads? RIDICULOUS. #COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS #ohhh i could have a whole rant about that #but also i feel like part of it is the lack of developed girl characters in the first place #we get maybe four #AND THEYRE ALL GREAT I LOVE THEM DEARLY #but we should have had more #anyways im the number 1 princess bubblegum defender #also marceline #ive seen you and your weird feelings towards complicated girl characters and i dont like it #sorry the mob psycho thing came out of nowhere #jk no im not #im not sorry at all

[raytorosaurus]

guys im just saying you don't have to believe literally everything you hear about second-hand online...also not everything needs to be Discussed Online and Made Public...there is a point where that just turns into cyberbullying...........

#i have seen it so much this tour but worst of all this aussie leg like. #someone being disgusting on their own twitter account is one thing but 'one of the six thousand ppl who were in that pit said on reddit-' #is not something u should really run with and discourse over Online. when you were not there. #like even if it *is* true it just does not need to become a publicly posted internet thing guys like. did we not learn this in high school #the rumours i heard that i knew for a fact were completely untrue got worse and worse every show like it was truly ridiculous #im saying this As an aussie who never got barricade but wouldve loved to btw like. this is just Not sth that needs to be discussed online. #it's fine if u don't like people or are offended/annoyed u don't need to. publicise it openly please just complain to friends if u must... #*

this is like #9000 on the list of stuff bendis fucked up, but the one niche thing that i would personally stone him for is erasing post-infinite crisis daxam in favor of just turning them into Generic Alien Race #3467. for lots of reasons, but mostly because that whole mesoamerican futuristim-inspired thing they had was Neat & could've so easily been made into something really, really cool in the right writer's hands

and like yeah, admittedly it was only around for all of like 5 minutes in 2009, so it was pretty unlikely that anyone would pick back up on it, but it was still at least still technically a canon thing! it was swept so far under the rug that most people never saw anything about it, but it was there!! there was a chance, however slim, that someone could do something with it!!! until bendis!! and now it's completely gone, and they're just blandass stock image aliens!! hate!!!

#having a lot of thoughts about the design inspirations of fictional cities/planets this week i guess #there's also a something to be said about how absolutely ridiculous it is that there are no latino/latino-coded superman chs #and how fkn frustrating it is that not only this but also chris & his whole elseworlds thing were like. literally right the fuck there #but were both just completely erased for the exact same reason (to prop up jon ofc it's literally always to prop up jon) #like i'm really not the one to be talking on it too much or too deeply bc i'm not latino #but it's so annoying that you can't just like.. not mention it lol

sensoria

Mouth. Tongue. And hands. Feathering over the nape of her neck, down her arms, around her waist. Tightening, just a little. Just enough. More. Body heat against the winter’s chill, and she shifts even nearer, pressing herself to him. Her hands sliding under his coat. Urgency. The brocade textures of his vest, the dartdance of delicate fingers freeing constraints, here let me help you, and ohh that sigh he gives. The firm contours of his body. Her pulse rapid. Breathe. The way he looks at her. Emerald flame. Hunger.

The bite of the wind an incision but it’s no competition for carnal desire. Need. The inevitability of his reaction and a demanding unstoppable interruption finds her held tight against his chest in cover, an embrace insistent forceful protective, his physical heat a stark contrast to the icy air as with sharpgasped deep inhalation, deeper again, he turns to surrender and

hh-HHH

all she feels is

(the catch in his breath the race of her heartbeat his need oncoming her need oncoming their need oncoming and)

h-hhHHAAAHTSCH-uu!

fire.

#the sheer amount of wips that i haven't completed for a demented variety of reasons #vs a random fixation on that moment when #my ocs incognito #were fucking in a forest midwinter and a Distracting Moment happened #so anyway once again my writing process is ridiculous #cerberus and kia #cerbia #snzfic #i've scheduled this post because australia #but also i'm godawful at numerical calculation so who knows when this will appear actually #this is too many notes for a microfic #YEEHA

i get why people would opt to say walter was a terrible person since the beginning, but i think that's like, the most boring takeaway you can get about his character. he was already insecure and prideful from the start, and it's what would hurt him and keep hurting him. but like, being insecure and prideful are regular traits any regular person can have. the actions that he makes because of these traits, which in turn keep fueling his ego more and more, are what makes him an interesting character. and he was already pretty capable of hurting other people, but he wasn't doing it out of malice, but more because of careless selfishness at first. what makes walter terrifying is that the more he does it, the more he becomes aware of what he's doing, and the more he keeps going and keeps being more and more meticulous and deliberate about what he does that hurts people and even to the point when it was specifically to hurt people.

i think the traits were there in walter from the beginning—the pilot did a pretty good job of establishing how powerless he's felt all his life and just how susceptible he is to letting this newfound perceived power get to his head so easily. he even says this explicitly in 5x06 "Buyout" when he tells jesse "i'm not in the money business, i'm in the empire business". but saying he was this monster from the start kind of implies he didn't undergo through a character arc throughout the show when it's quite literally what he did. he got worse. so much worse. through mostly the fault of his own fragility.

#idk if i put it into words right but i'm just musing #was walter a good person when brba started? up in the air. but his family genuinely adored him. despite feeling like a loser teacher #some of his coworkers actually really liked and respected him. he was just as much of a regular person as anyone else was tbh #you know it's interesting that he and gale basically have the same motivations. why jump to meth of all things. why go from 0 to 100 when #it sounds COMPLETELY ridiculous. but they were both very passionate about chemistry who felt like their potentials were wasted and felt #like they were finally putting their skills to good use again. getting to flex their muscles and shit. whenever they cook better purer meth #than most other people. i think it's a really genius idea to have this premise for the show lol #cz as much as walter is motivated by him feeling like he desperately has to take control of his own life he also is a scientist at heart #who desperately needs to apply his knowledge and skills somewhere where it would feel gratifying #seriously dude you could've tried to get a paper published or two or something. djhdidhd #but the academe has its own Politics and whatnot. so one could only speculate why walt didn't get to pursue that any more #(aside from the whole grey matter industries thing) #anyway uhhh i hope i get the post across lol not to sound cheesy cliche but brba is a corruption slash character deterioration arc #quite literally the whole point is that he Didn't Start Off Like This And He Gets Worse #again. he already had some of his bad tendencies and traits but it's like. we all do that's not necessarily inherently make or break #it's what he DOES and KEEPS DOING. CONSCIOUSLY that turns him into the horrifying man he is by the end of it all #so i just think if your biggest takeaway is Walter Was Always A Monster then you're just missing the whole damn point #op #brbaposting

ok I'm not saying there aren't spectacularly gullible people out there but just because you tell a lie and no one calls you out on it, that doesnt mean anyone believes you. my old roommate once told me that she was a famous artist when she was five years old, forced to churn out masterpieces by her greedy and evil mother. I wasn't like "well I don't believe you because that's insane and obviously a lie" I said "wow that must have been really hard for you".

Some of the people on that post are like "I convinced someone my dog can speak French!!" or whatever. Have you considered they were just humoring you and that on the bus home with their friends they were like I just met the weirdest person alive?

#some of the stories seemed plausible but a lot of them were completely ridiculous #like girl you didn't convince anybody of shit!

[spinspoon]

gregory and cassie are friends they are BESTIES gregory did NOT betray cassie the entire thing was a TRAP end post

#fnaf #fnaf spoilers #okay im gonna. just step away from the fandom for a while bc the amount of people bashing tf out of gregory is insane and quite frankly #ridiculous #like i completely understand because the ending was really really sad and awful and im just as upset about it as the next person #and its probably bc they want someone to blame but people are COMPLETELY skimming over the lots of evidence that it wasnt him AT ALL #people in this fandom will literally romanticize the literal child murderer but the second a child does something remotely morally grey or #something (or people ASSUME they did something) its attack on sight #like dude #im just ughhhh #and the people saying “but he destroyed the animatronics!” MY GUY THEY WERE TRYING LITERALLY KILL HIM 😭 #sorry i know im getting way more worked over this than i should but its just frustrating that people only ever look at things through #a black and white lens #i hate when people wildly mischaracterize characters #spinspoon speaks

You’d think a man who had a whirlwind romance and marriage, followed by a subsequent divorce and decision to SEPARATE YOUR IDENTICAL TWIN DAUGHTERS AT BIRTH so you never have to see your ex again would be more hesitant about getting remarried so soon into a new relationship

#the parent trap #related to the last post #seriously what were these parents thinking??? #to make it easier on themselves they separate their daughter from their TWIN SISTER #like both of them should have been unbelievably phased doe way longer that they were denied a sister for twelve years #it’s ridiculous #and the dad deciding to. sorry a woman half his age without introducing his daughter to her first??? #completely insanity #he has lost the plot #why does he even want to be married if it went so poorly the first time #the parent trap 1998 #Nick Parker #Elizabeth James #Hallie Parker #Annie James #meredith blake #dennis quaid #natasha richardson #lindsey lohan #elaine hendrix #like it was messed up that Meredith just wanted to marry him for his money #but it was more messed up that Nick just like jumped into an engagement with her while his daughter was away #and MOST messed up that Elizabeth and Nick decided to keep their infant daughter away from each other for their entire lives #I feel like their sistership will always been tainted by not being there for each other for like 12 years #I cannot even imagine not knowing my own sister for so long and us growing up without each other #I saw a TikTok about this recently but it mostly focused on the separation thing #but I think the marriage thing also makes zero sense and is a questionable choice on his part

When I started playing the new Final Horizon update I was expecting pure fun playing as Amy, Knuckles and Tails all while getting new story and a better final boss.... I wasn't expecting I was signing up for extra hard mode that made me feel very drained despite my setting being clearly set to normal difficulty.

#sonic the hedgehog #sonic #sonic frontiers #Sonic frontiers final horizon #I am bad at games I know this and can admit it #Sonic fans really don't deserve the wonderful treatment the Sonic Team has been giving up lately frfr #But Imma need them to tune this shit DOWN #I enjoyed playing as Amy Knuckles and Tails but I was excited to get back to Sonic admittedly #Mainly because I was of course familiar with him while I wasn't with the others #I thought I could go ahead and get the map all completed and do a lil cyberspace before I did the first tower #What I wasn't expecting was to get stuck trying to do my one and first CyberSpace level over and over because I kept failing #I mainly just kept failing at the last bit because it was falling platforms and they give you such little space and time that I cant handle #When i gave up on that i decided focus on the map then so I'll really know where I'm going and all that #Turns out the challenges to get your map filled up were also made to be just ridiculous #I gave up at a fuckin ball and hoop challenge because shit feels so inconsistently annoying #Not to mention the guardian i fought beforehand because Sonic actually has stats #Maxed out ones even #Now i know this one is definitely more of a skill issue on my part I'm sure but #I have max defense and I was at 999 rings #Bro i got down to under 100 rings during that damn fight cause i didn't know the right time to attack #I can be short tempered ngl shsh so shit has definitely brought my mood down and I'll probably actually watch the rest of the story #I really don't want to put myself through all that and more some it drains me more than having fun #Props to those who have fun with it #I cannot and I admire their strength amd determination #Plus I'm already seeing people talking about the towers you need to do with Sonic being absolute pains #Last time I saw that was with The End fight which the game took pity on me with how many times I died #Just uyguggugh #Whole ass rant in the tags #I'm tired and I do hope the new story full on is good and redeems what we had before
