Anyone wish to have The Weird Cool Barbie with her own box and outfit?

I never had Mattel's Barbie, like, the original Barbie. I only had the knockoff Barbie that comes with cheap plastic body and yellow-corn-like hair, so having this specific Barbie with details and outfit just like in the movie would be a dream come true 🥹❤️

#weird barbie #agent of chaos #but actually knowledgeable #resourceful #and wise #we need her backstory #not to mention her house having great view of the barbieland #kate mckinnon #is dope af #barbie #the barbie movie #barbie 2023 #fanart #digital art #illustration #yes I purposely mangled the name Barbie to avoid trademark and or copyright lawsuit from Mattel

Alastor Shipping Discourse is so weird to me, because, on one hand, I get where people are coming from when it comes to being against shipping him.

But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure that a good percentage of the artists I follow on Insta who do ship him with other characters are some flavor of aro and/or ace.

#“god I hate that these allosexuals/alloromantics are out here shipping Alastor” #Like excuse me...but what kinda circles have you been hanging around? #because from my point of view...the call is coming from inside the house lmao #genuine discoursers dni #I just found this funny as someone on the aroace spectrum who witnessed this discourse twice. #radiorose #(I don't ship the rest of these I'm just tagging them for the engagement) #radiostatic #radiohusk #radioapple #radiodust #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin hotel #asexual #aromantic #nyanbles

It’s been literally so long since Fire Emblem 3H came out. At this point, I’m a hair away from assuming people who say Rhea was running around murdering people of other religions are being intellectually dishonest. We have multiple support conversations just saying entirely uncryptically that she doesn’t do this, and we never even see strong evidence that she does? She executed people for active blasphemy and attempted assassination, it’s just that the context made her ruthless (the people executed were clearly pawns, scared, and suffering too) which is why the scenes depict her as cutthroat. But to say she’s killed people because they just casually didn’t think Sothis was real is more than just simplifying— it’s just incorrect. It’s because these people ultimately threatened the juggling act Rhea is doing to prevent another grand scale war and triggered her because they messed with things she considers sacred, final reminders of her mother.

It’s just so weird because I used to post like screenshots and STATEMENTS FROM THE WRITERS that confirm all this in no uncertain language and people would be like doing extreme mental gymnastics to explain why “Rhea doesn’t care that I don’t believe in Sothis” and “Rhea did what she did to prevent war” are not clear statements. I mean, I am so chill with having different takes on characters from people or viewing characters as more or less sympathetic. That involves personal code and ethics. But with 3H, I hit this wall where I’m like.. when do we admit that, for you, this conversation is not about actually understanding the character?

I swear, some people need to go take a break, grab a latte, and privately come to terms with their irl beefs with the Catholic Church before engaging with this game. Because, my friends, I do not have the ability or strength to shoulder/accommodate your external opinions on a real religion on top of my analyses of the motives of the green haired dragonfolk.

#I was worried that last paragraph is me strawmanning people #then I remember that I used to go to pages of ppl talking about things Rhea didn’t do or blindly agreeing with Edelgard #and so so many of them were anti-religious communists #open anti-religious communists #and I fully get that your personal views color your opinions on fiction #that’s natural #but don’t rewrite the story #literally Claude was my favorite character in the og 3H #I didn’t care for Rhea #my thoughts on her have formed from years of me going ‘wait that didn’t happen’ #then starting to appreciate why she did things as I looked into it #she’s a solid tragic character #fire emblem three houses #three houses #Fire Emblem #rhea fire emblem

You wanna talk about House and Benny? Let’s talk about House and Benny. Let’s talk about how House says he saw Benny as a son figure ans a rightful successor to the strip. Let’s talk about how Benny was so charmed by House’s offer that he literally killed a man to get the position to agree to it. Let’s talk about how House was intentionally priming Benny and regrets not doing better, not for the wasted time but of Benny’s wasted potential, how it was misplaced. Let’s talk about how Benny didn’t question House’s leadership until the guy started going radio silent. Let’s talk about House and Benny:

#cause realistically Benny had to be of an age house could project a parental view on when they first met and combined with how impulsive and #short sighted Benny is with his planning and way of operating makes me think he’s not as old as people headcanon cause he was the leader #the chairmen for 7 years so you have to subtract that from his current age meaning he was even younger and more impressionable to house cuz #how else would house see him as a good candidate if his backstabbing was already a thing seeing as house was aware of his plan from the #start so since house projects and acts like a man ranged late 40s to 50s I’d say Benny is max 25-27 by game start so they met when he was #still a teen cause a theme in the game surrounding older npcs ins a resistance to change and of course someone still young and okay with #change would take an offer such as Houses eagerly along with the fact Benny seems like okay with sudden change actually considering him #giving you the reigns when he thinks his goose is cooked #but this is all to say there was def an unhealthy projection on house part on the role he wanted Benny to play that was likely controlling #and the sudden silence as he tried to acquire the chip would only make Benny more inclined to rebel especially since he is still young and #impressionable if we take he’s only in his mid 20s #and before someone says he doesn’t look it he acts like that and some characters are supposed to be 26 and 37 and I bet you guessed wrong on #who the first time #fallout #fallout new vegas #mr house fnv #robert edwin house #benny fnv #benny gecko

okay so silas knew that gideon was a fake cavalier from day one. he knew ortus had died and that gideon was a serf of the ninth sent in his stead. but silas chooses to hold on to that information until act four! meanwhile he openly calls palamedes an unfinished inbred and camilla a mad dog with an illegitimate claim to the title of cavalier primary. silas says nothing about gideon until hes speaking to her in private. interesting!

#silas is such an interesting character to me #like i think this serves to suggest silas is being honest when he says he views gideon as a victim of the ninth #he wants to expose harrow he has less of an interest in taking down gideon #also this contributes to my belief that even if cytherea had never come canaan house still would have gone sideways #it just would have been political backstabbing instead of literal backstabbing #or at least slightly less literal backstabbing #ianthe is still there after all #anyway food for thought! #and im sorry for all the locked tomb posts ive had my first day off from work in a while and apparently this is how i want to spend it #the locked tomb #silas octakiseron #gideon the ninth #eskildit posts tlt #ok to rb

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways #There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse. #I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something #There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others #or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all #or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost #$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably. #or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill #or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels. #or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis #suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away #life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away #Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly #people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before #they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability. #long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious. #they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority. #they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag #but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing #it already is. #its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people #ALL people. #they use basic human rights as bargaining chips. #the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

horrid yowling! so terrible I thought the cat might be dying & ran downstairs with heart tangibly hammering. I sighted her pressed up against the window, freaking out about an outdoor cat on the other side.

After I and CJ covered the view with flattened boxes:

cat: [skulks & pokes at the edges of boxes] me: idiotic! are you going to worm your way back against the glass to look at the thing that upsets you? partner CJ: wouldn't you? me: D:<

#well. he felled me with that one. can't deny it #rambl #housecatblogging #partner CJ #for my slain dignity's sake: i'm great at not *looking* at stuff that upsets me but so so bad at not thinking about it #i think my discipline around the former is unusually good & has led to a great internet experience when algorithms are in charge of my feed #it's plausible to me that twitter like fb uses 'milliseconds a tweet is in viewport' as a metric. so even if you don't like it #it learns when bad posts grabs your attention. i don't even do that! if i feel sithy about a post i immediately yeet it out of view #i have often lamented that i have no such ability with my own brain. calls from inside the house are just different.

dana scully is the realest character ever because she’s a failure of her own creation

#i’m sick again #physically not just in the head #so nothing i say makes any sense #but #she fails her parents by sacrificing medicine for the fbi #she fails mulder by not believing #by wanting him alive and well and not just The Truth #by not being able to find him #she fails at being the kind of mother who can protect her child #from murderous cults and alien supersoldiers alone without asking for help #whatever THAT kind of mother is #she fails at living in a haunted house with a haunted man #instead she ‘fled’ #she’s right 5% of the time and she cannot keep anyone safe #and she views all of this as failures #as people being ‘dissapointed’ in her #as not ‘being capable’ #but ARE they failures?? #and is it her having unbearable expectations for herself #or is it the world that she lives in #a world that makes her abandon everything that feels stable to her including her child #in order to ever be right #txf #scully #dana scully

why is all paleoart so stiff and boring? like is it just 90% of what you see is cheap stuff commissioned to illustrate grade-school textbooks. or what? there's gotta be some paleoartists out there just killing it.

#if you accidentally use good lighting or composition in your illustration of the carboniferous period #the Secret Guild of Paleoartists comes to your house and skeletonizes you #before mounting you in a display as a warning to others #a lot of astronomical art has this problem too #especially of like views from exoplanets' surfaces #like i think it's doing a bad job of communicating information #“this is what the silurian might have looked like” #no this is what a bunch of random silurian animals that are anatomically correct #but look like they're made of stiff plastic might have looked like #this may seem like a stupid gripe *and it is* #but this is one of those areas where representational art is still like important #and contributes to the culture!

Wait, but what is it about wally in the human au that makes him so weird?? Is it just an ableism thing or does he have like strange habits/interests

mmmm it's a bit of both kinda? more so the latter honestly! i mean by social norms & standards he's already a quirky guy, and i think he'd have a plethora of 'odd' mannerisms & habits on top of that. so yes, he's genuinely strange, but it's up to others to view/treat that as a negative or a positive or a neutral yk yk

#personally im standing off to the side sighing wistfully #wishing i could live my life so unbothered by how the world views me. oh to live your most genuine self without fear or compromise.... #like for example i gotta stick with the apple theme. he fucking Loves those things. he'll talk for hours about them #like in his & barn's kitchen there is an Apple Basket for him to gaze upon or pick out an apple to admire or paint #and he gets distressed whenever he views someone eating an apple or cutting one up cause to him they're Not Food & he loves them yk? #and of course there's the intense unbreaking eye contact with literally everyone #unless he's explicitly asked 'dont look me in the eye' he Will Stare Into Your Soul #and if asked he'll Remember & will literally never make eye contact with that person again. he'd rather close his eyes completely #& in this au he's still Constantly Smiling & honestly is very hard to ruffle to the point of it being slightly unnerving #he goes through a haunted house with his friends and has them all cowering behind him as he strolls through casual as anything #rambles from the bog #wh modern human au #i could go on! he's just... yk! he's Him! without compromise! he takes norms & expectations and crumples them up! #he looks at them and says 'wow! this is worthless!' #and keeps doing his own thing
