As a latin american, you'll never see me rooting for spain/france/england or any other colonizer. No way. Not even for any other big european country. They treat us like dirt, act like they are superior, more educated & call us barbarians. See what happened with the arg-nl game and the media and europeans reaction to it. I'm not even argentinian and got mad about how they are trying to portrait the team as problematic. Messi even said why he reacted the way he did and no big media reported on it
Ah okay, i didn’t know you were Latin American - you’re fine my friend. It’s just when I see other people on social media hate on England but then turn around and support a country like France - it’s just hypocritical to me
But you’re absolutely right. I could write an essay about how much I hate the way African and South American football is looked down upon by major media outlet and branded as ‘aggressive’ or ‘thuggish’.
The Netherlands were shameful and this isn’t the first time they’ve played in an aggressive manner: 2006 against Portugal, 2010 final against Spain, and now against Argentina. All of those matches hold the record for most yellow cards given in a World Cup match. ALL of those matches included the Dutch in them AND they lost those matches.
But you’ll NEVER see the media brand the Netherlands as aggressive or playing like barbarians. Even now, so much criticism for Argentina and barely anything about the Dutch.

y3 has made me feel many things but one of the things that lingers with me the most about it is how majima takes every possible opportunity and makes every possible gesture to say “please don’t leave me alone again, please take me with you when you leave, I WANT to be right next to you when you need me, I’ll literally do anything for you, just don’t leave me alone again” always indirectly but in strong enough ways that i think it’d be obvious to anyone paying attention EXCEPT Kazuma Kiryu, The Densest Man On Earth, who he’s pleading to in the first place. it’s. frustrating to watch. someone needs to grab kiryu by the shoulders and tell him. for the love of god. this man loves you so much and you keep leaving him when all he wants to do is help you and be with you please just take him to okinawa oh my god

hi local idw1 expert (i have read all the comics... more than once)
all you need to know is that the entire war was caused by optimus and megatron having the world's worst sex and megatron got so mad that he decided that war was the only way to fix it. that way he could teach everyone on cybertron proper sex education! hope this helps
an expert has just logged on. anyone who’s curious about transformers lore, pls listen to this explanation and trust it blindly right now.

I was wondering if you did commissions? Your art is incredible and would definitely be worth it
I do yes! And sometimes I post them (some I keep between me and the commissioner if it’s important like a special gift for someone which I’m fine doing tbh) I tag all of those with #commission work, if you want to look through past stuff.
Taking commissions tho that is something I only do over discord due to being scammed in the past. You know how it is people ask to commission give you all the refs you do it and they don’t pay you yada yada. So I do discord instead and any first time commissioners probably will need to pay half up front and half later on just as a safety net for myself. Reoccurring commissioners or ones Iv grown a base with I usually ask to be paid afterwards due to like my morals and actually feeling better about having that personal incentive to complete the work in a timely manner.
Anyways
You can find me via the Alternian empire server on discord of course I tend to only advertise in there and in short bursts with like 3-6 slots per month but they do tend to go fast.

interesting to think about how majima was first introduced as a character beating the shit out of someone for not-so-righteous reasons and thus from then on he was/is widely interpreted as morally grey and difficult to trust, but when yakuza 0 starts with an opening scene of kiryu beating someone to near-death for similarly not-so-righteous reasons, it’s just sorta glossed over and forgotten because he’s just so sweet and innocent and can do no wrong. like damn it’s okay to admit the guy has his issues, some just as bad and unresolved as majima’s, that makes him 1000% more interesting than a guy who’s every action is morally justifiable

In our last dnd campaign, my character had a bird companion and another character was a dwarf with stone sense who spent a lot of time inspecting the history of stone items, mostly because he always rolled really badly and the dm would be like “yep that’s stone” or “you think the sculptor did a pretty great job, can’t tell much else though”
this new campaign, we’re playing completely different characters but last session, my very-enthusiastic-about-everything bard saw a bird as a mount and went omg how neat, we should get a bird to ride!! and then also rolled high perception and noticed a weirdo minions looking bird in the sky and went hey look, another bird! And the other player has an artificer who keeps collecting stones to for his magic stone spell
and so one of the other players was like “I just want to say it’s SO funny that Emily’s new character keeps looking for birds and (other player) won’t stop looking at rocks” so like. I guess you can’t escape some things lol
