I dont know what context to provide to this but I'd be willing to bet Tara is obsessed with penguins. Sam 100% told she didn't like penguins to mess with her at one point and Tara broke into tears and refused to speak to her for two weeks after. It took Sam crying and begging her to speak to her, telling her that she lied and does actually like penguins to get her to speak to her again. (Tara was cold to her for another 2 weeks after). Also Tara played Club penguin as a kid 100% and made Sam pay for a membership for her (Sam had no choice but to pay for it because Tara threatened to run away if she didn't)

What context is needed. It's simply fact, Tara was a penguin child.

Sam also plays Club Penguin after a while to keep an eye on what her sister is doing online and is SHOCKED to find out that her sister has a filthy mouth and is cussing out other kids online. She confronts her... in the game. The event becomes internet legend.

Neither of them ever tell anyone about it, so when they find Mindy laughing over Club Penguin memes one day, including the event, they both have this silent moment of panic as memories flash back.

Their users are pengarpenter and user49620.

Tell me about growing up in Newcastle. I grew up on a cow farm in the middle of [north east England county] Northumberland. My mum and dad were both from Newcastle, and my dad had just finished [acting in British ‘80s comedy drama] Auf Wiedersehen Pet, which was massive—and because it was so political, and all about the subsidisation of industry and Thatcher’s Britain, that you walk round the north east with my dad now and he’s a hero up there. He was knocking around with Thin Lizzy and [Dire Straits’] Mark Knopfler! I wasn’t socially isolated as a kid but I was an only child—so there were a lot of video games, a lot of Michael Jackson videos, a lot of singing and dancing to myself and self-involvement. Did you like being by yourself? I’ve always liked being by myself. I grew to like it less when I was older. And then I convinced myself for a long time that I liked my own company, but I actually just quite liked being on drugs and didn’t really like my own company at all. Did you take drugs by yourself? Oh yeah. Oh yeah! Every pursuit of mine is very indulgent and personal. That sounds like a dark thing to say; my indulgences are always private things. I used to like thinking and writing on drugs. I thought I was William Burroughs, know what I mean? Anyway, when I was ten I moved to Manchester when my mum got a job on [British soap opera] Coronation Street. I spent my whole teenage years there—went to school there, met the guys when I was 14 and we’ve been in the same lineup ever since.

This song and lloyd… ourgh my heart hurts

#this video is about lloyd not misako ! #when i posted this on tiktok i had multiple people try to argue that misako is a bad mother like that is not the topic here #its about lloyd its about lloyd reconnecting with the mother he was missing for most of his childhood #itsabout how much he loves her #its about how he looks like her its about how he talks like her #its about how he is willing to die for her #its about how he is terrified to lose her as he lost her once before and how he lost his father #and it’s about the grief of possibly losing her to the merge in dragons rising #being all grown up and taking on the responsibility of being there for Sora and Arin #and still missing his parents #this video is through the eyes of Lloyd #this video is about Lloyds connection to Misako throughout his life #anyway wow that ended up being longer than I expected #Lloyd garmadon #Lego ninjago #ninjago #ninjago fanart #Lego ninjago fanart #ninjago lloyd #lloyd garmadon fanart

The idea that children are inherently duplicitous, manipulative liars is genuinely doing harm to children and further obfuscates when genuine harm/abuse is occurring because, "what can the adults do, children are demons!"

The idea that children have divine knowledge that transcends adults' own knowledge and they use that knowledge for personal gain is, simply-put, abuse apologism. You are aiding and abetting abusive behaviour from adults, parents/guardians, medical professionals, whomever it might be.

#youth liberation #abuse #abuse tw #abuse apologia #sorry if i talked about this before - if i had then i simply forgor #again i just fucking despise how people talk about children *and* childhood abuse #like how was i manipulating people who were like 30+ at... ages three to thirteen #like it's infantilizing the adults in somebody's life while simultaneously blaming abuse survivors because they did something to deserve it #post that's kind of piggybacking off the last one but also just... #...man i hate in-depth and nuanced topics when many people have them

desperately need more fat video essayists to cover topics about fatness, fatphobia, and diet culture. I'm watchin this skinny girl in this video essay replace the word "fat" with "F" in every quote she reads like it's a slur because she looked up what the least problematic term for fatness was and the article she found put "fat" at the same level as "obese"

#it's making me CRINGE #PLEASE FAT IS NOT A BAD WORD JUST SAY FUCKING FAT I'M TIRED #PLEASE I NEED FAT PPL TO TALK ABOUT FAT TOPICS SO I DON'T HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS SHIT #I mean I'm gonna start listening to audio books while I work since I just got a library card today finally >:3 so that'll be a solution #but I had interest in this video since it's a topic that was relevant to my childhood #and the way this girl is so afraid of talking about fatness is giving me such secondhand embarrassment #lyla's talking again #fatphobia #fat liberation

On the topic of Raphael and him "being bad in bed".

Okay I'm only ever going to talk about this at length once and then never again. I've been avoiding talking about it until now because bringing it up always just seems to keep this topic in circles and it becomes an endless pit of nothing.

First of all, I know most of the time (like maybe 70% of the time) it's for the lolz. I get it. Hell, Raphael fans will be the FIRST to quip about this.

BUT

For those taking it seriously one way or another... It becomes such old hat VERY fast.

Those who use it as a jab towards Raphael havers are... Kinda dumb. Because it's like... Okay, and? You act as if somehow negates the entirety of his character somehow just because "HAR HAR HANDSOME DEVIL MAN IS BAD AT SEX" and it's so... vapid and boring? Also it seems a lot of people keep thinking "bad at sex" = JUST that he finishes too fast and nothing else but they seem to forget that the player character came up with that insult on the spot (rather than seeing it as a commentary about his pure selfishness and where it stems from). Haarlep is also a bias source. There's a semblance of resentment from them AND they're a damn incubus. EVERYONE'S terrible in bed in comparison (have you seen Tav? Little shit just lays there like a sack of potatoes during the Haarlep scene). This isn't me saying "Oh it means Raphael is terrific in bed because Haarlep's word cannot be trusted". HELL, no. Quite the opposite, actually. I'm saying "okay... What can I glean from that set of information?"

I feel like this goes for Raphael havers too who have this conversation. I feel like many tend to fall into this trap of odd desparity when they realise that "oh no our magnificent hot man is bad at sex" and somehow treat it as if it's forever a caveat and somehow negates the ENTIRETY of Raphael as a complex character. My first reaction when I got this information during House of Hope was laughing and then going "mmm that's so interesting and adds such a great layer to this already amazing character. Where else can I take this to". In fact, House of Hope as a quest does SO much in adding all these tidbits that make Raphael not just another boring, all knowing, god like, ineffible character. It made me love and appreciate his character even MORE. instead of going in circles and lamenting in how this is somehow "the worst thing ever", I think it's way more fun to explore it and delve into where the root of his narcissism and self esteem issues come from. The dichotomy and complexes of his character. There's SO much to talk about there and yet we're still just stuck on "haha devil man is a bottom and bad in bed" (which is another ridiculous thing btw because people seem to misconstrue bottoms as JUST being submissive. Y'all need to be more open minded 😂).

Apologies if this came off as ranty/condescending maybe. But it's coming from someone who's just minding her own business but have to see a variation of that line CONSTANTLY in the notes/tags on my art/gif posts and as I said... It gets so old REALLY fast. Like please be more imaginative than this, I beg of you. 😭

#bg3 raphael #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #I'm definitely missing on some thoughts here but I'm typing this while starving and tired #Aaaand I won't talk about it at length ever again because again #It's SO boring as a topic holy god #The dude is a goldmine of endless directions and topics and themes #We could talk about his childhood - his existential crisis of his upbringing and being half mortal and devil #We could talk about about his obsession with absolute control and freedom and power and want of that in the hells #We could talk about the myriads of ways he and Tav could continue their odd relationship if they went Team Raphael route #We could talk about his diaries #We could talk about his endless dichotomies and why it makes him such a well rounded character without giving away too much #We could talk about his obsession with the arts and literature and how much of a nerd he is for it #But no #All we talk about is his goddamn prowess in the bedroom... And that's a damn shame #Bg3 thoughts #There's the new goddamn Chains of Asmodeus out too... There's SO much we can talk a out concerning Raphael and all that new info #Come on now

#succession #tw: csa #like the constant CONSTANT jokes about the topic where he's the victim #the sudden bedwetting before he was just sent away to school #the feelings of responsibility for keeping his family happy and together and Good we're all Good #his self-loathing around sex and intimacy #the way his siblings refer to his physical abuse in a pretty blase way but everything around When He Went Off To School is vague #the show spends a ton of time showing that his actual memories of his childhood are on two tracks: what his siblings saw and what he felt #his father convinced that there's something wrong with him #some fatal crack that can't be fixed - and roman agrees #and PARTICULARLY in the most recent episode when he reveals he couldn't breathe normally around logan #and shiv goes to ask frank and karl 'how bad was dad' #like I don't think logan was the one who did this specifically to roman #but it was clearly someone logan knew #shiv the girl with the selective memory but the girl who knew not to be around those men #being moved enough by her brother's pain to confront the panicked sliver of a question: did dad do this? and if not - did he know? #logan didn't like women but he loved his little girl #shiv was safe #roman? not so much #'why bastard? why base?' why indeed roman

#BG3 Musing #BG3 Fanmix #Halsin BG3 #Halsin #Halsin Posting #my fanmix #i give up this is about as done as it will ever be - i've been talking about this enough i need to get it away from me #i could have made at least one or two other playlists with the number of songs i cut from this #there were some things that hurt me to cut but i figured others had them in their playlists so they're out there #(the impossible dream you will always be famous i am so sorry :(() #i had three goals with this 1. make it more of a timeline in that it follows a narrative order (which hopefully is easy enough to follow) #(it makes sense to me about as much as it is ever going to lol) #2. try to avoid using songs that other individuals have used in their playlists (with a handful of exceptions - i highly encourage you also #take a listen to the others around! lots of good stuff and i figured if you were missing it from this one you can find another with it) #(and if i did use one the context might be different #'closer here is being used in a different way than i usually see it - it's putting more emphasis on the 'you can have my isolation' bit use #in context of the matron and patron for example) #and 3. focus as much as possible on non-romance path elements of halsin's character - i.e. again that's a topic that is highly explored #in other fanmixes to great success - this one is about the childhood he references and the adventures and the capture in the underdark #and the shadow curse and the burying of people he loved and the uptaking of the archdruid position and the healing he did #and possibly did not do #and the radicalization he comes into when his goals are met and he's faced with injustices #and the struggle he has of redefining himself and figuring out who he is after all of it #hopefully the 'eras' are clearly defined but hey it's all gravy from here #honestly if there is one song to listen to that encapsulates halsin for me it's tapestry - highly recommend that #anyway i am blabbing - let the lyrics and such talk for themselves jemi please #but if fanmixes aren't your speed have a kinda nice edit i guess #edit: now with bonus song i just had to add after shamefully forgetting it

jelix gets so much hate and people act like it's truly problematic. It's so funny to me. you can hate its fans and not have to justify it with acting as if the ship itself is somehow offensive.

sorry y'all can't see the beauty in 70s repressed homosexual adultery and the consequences of it being tragedy. i forgot the kids these days haven't even seen brokeback mountain.

#also its just fiction guys this isnt real life men cheating on their wives lmfao these are some fictional dudes in an analog yt series #theyre like wahhhhhh he killed his kids and jack hates him now !!! yeah. now. are we disregarding the 20 years of friendship #where they built their dream company together? no ones saying that jack would fuck him post accident lmfao yall are just reaching #blah blah jack would NEVER do that to rose!!! first of all you dont actually know anything about him. #second of all people do shit you'd never expect all the time. even if they do love someone and are happy #also that one take where someone says the concept of jelix is inherently racist because jack is latino and felix is white so #that means jack is giving in to a white mans desires is insaneeee do yall hear yalls selves. like seriously listen to yourself. just once. #and its weird for you to tack actual racial issues onto a fictional ship that has NOTHING to do with that. #literally saw someone say that its perpetuating the white man desires and exotic latino stereotype and im sitting here like what. #what does that have to do with twf. yall just reaching. just say you dont like jelix and go. simple. #the walten files fandom is a joke atp. none of you should be watching this series yall arent mature enough yall cant even handle a ship #let alone a story centering around actual serious topics like childhood trauma and addiction and morally grey characters #rant over #twf #the walten files

im gonna be 100% honest with you man i'm not gonna post this in full because you are just going to open yourself up to getting clowned on again but i do need you to know this is my absolute favourite opening to any ask i've gotten ever.

#mine #for what it counts i think your base point was fair. the idea of discussing childhood in south africa in the 80s and not- #-mentioning apartheid at all does stick out to me as odd. however i think it is easily explained by- #-it being on a podcast w three white (afaik) men who despite encountering some serious topics generally keep it light. #but i do get what you mean.. i just dunno if id write up two whole essay lengths asks about it. on the no nuance site. LOL #anyway its 2am so sorry if this doesnt make sense i hope you have a good night. #also reblogs off sorry just cause like i said i don't want people to clown on this too much or start arguing 😭 #i have had a week and a half i don't want to be the guy who accidentally starts mcytblr apartheid discourse

Sam feels like she’s going to explode as she watches Tara stick out her tongue across the table.

No, really, she’s going to absolutely lose it.

It shouldn’t be allowed. It really shouldn’t.

She finds herself clenching her fists, digging her knuckles into her knees to contain the swelling of emotion within her.

It’s too fucking cute.

Oops- she’s not supposed to use that word… But Mama says it all the time… so it’s probably fine, right?

Tara reminds her of Mrs Jackson’s puppy, down the street. It makes her think of stretching up over her tiptoes to peer over the peeling picket fence, the way her stomach would fill with air as it ran around and around in circles, chasing its own tail until it fell down, until Sam would fall down too, unable to keep her grip on the wood with how hard she’d laugh.

Tara’s a lot like that puppy. Making Sam feel like she’s floating whenever she watches her, and covering her with kisses whenever she comes close. Like she’s their whole world, until they get distracted and begin to leave, only to stop and look back and ask if she’s coming.

Sam isn’t allowed a puppy, but as Tara looks up at her with a toothy – well, there’s some teeth anyway – grin, and proudly displays the picture she’d been drawing – two stick figures holding hands – Sam thinks she’d take her little sister over a silly dog anyway.

SR: You and your family lived on a Christmas-tree farm? That's a unique place to grow up. TS: It was such a weird place to grow up. But it has cemented in me this unnatural level of excitement about fall and then the holiday season. My friends are so sick of me talking about autumn coming. They're like, "What are you, an elf?" SR: Who took care of the tree business? TS: My dad. SR: I thought he was a Merrill Lynch guy. TS: He'd tend to the farm as his hobby. He'd get up four hours early to go mow the fields on his tractor. We all had jobs. Mine was picking the praying-mantis pods off of the trees, collecting them so that the bugs wouldn't hatch inside people's houses. SR: How old were you? TS: From five to ten. The only reason that was my job was because I was too little to help lift trees.
