simblr mutuals i think you guys should indulge in more games (lovingly)

#*fizzyspeaks #i mean this in a way like post other games or talk about other games. i'd love to hear your opinion on them or just plain ramble about why #you enjoy it or not #obv you can run your blog however you want. i'd love it regardless #edit: i mentioned this in a most clarifying what i meant - #-but this post was made really with my mutuals in mind. i didn’t expect this to leave my sphere #i enjoy seeing my mutuals talk about other games they enjoy #this wasn’t supposed to come off as a “simmers arent real gamers” take. i don’t mean that

oh nothing just thinking about that period between xvii and xviii where flint wakes up alone in a cell, his partner’s blood drying on his face, and realizes with a terrible clarity that nothing will be the same ever again

#I NEED TO NOT BE HERE RIGHT NOW. #that implied time makes me feel the worst things in the worst way. #i understand now why yall were saying that miranda wasn’t the only one that died that day #rocking back and forth and thinking about how hard he tried to be james mcgraw this season. #if anything the constant flashbacks to his past indicate that he’s still hovering between his two identities #especially when he speaks his old name into existence with abigail and miranda…. #he hasn’t forgotten it. he doesn’t want to forget it. he doesn’t want to reach that point of no return #and in charlestown he was willing to act the part of a muzzled dog if it meant he wouldn’t be seen as just captain flint #but a muzzled dog is still an angry dog and when you take away the thing it loves… #cries so hard i throw up #black sails #james flint

Even teeth #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #Mickbell tomas #kuro #mickuro #mickrin #It’s on topic in my heart #The red means I love you… #The duality between the care & devotion and the hurt & isolation is really what gets to me #Traumabonded kittens highkey #Tw #cw #cw abuse #tw abuse #Web weaving #web weave #webweaving #I hit 30 pics :( would have added more if i could #Idk even anymore… Pls tell me you see the vision #Mick obvi loves Kuro a lot but this was meant to focus on the unhealthy side if that wasn’t obvious. Abuse tactic of isolation etc etc #People always leave. doesn’t matter how or why but his parents his sister everyone he’s never enough to stay #and that’s why he thinks he has to trick Kuro into thinking Mickbell’s the whole world or he’ll discover that there’s more out there. #Stuff that’s worth leaving him for. He has to make the world scary and unknown and not pay him and not let him have connections #That’s why he doesn’t want people to have a choice!! Either Mickbell doesn’t care about you or he’ll make sure you can never be without him #and there being a third option/outcome in this freaks him out!!! #Some of these should be called ‘No Title’ instead but I have bad academic crediting etiquette this looks cooler sorry #He’s scared of course he bites. There’s only throwing bones when feeding a stray. So bare your teeth and chew me up

do you actually view nonbinary people as non-binary or as binary people too scared to come out

this is a wild thing to ask someone who’s very openly not binary. like what even prompted you to send this? even if you didn’t know that i’m not binary trans, what have i said that would lead you to think i don’t believe in nonbinary people? is it just the fact that i’m a trans man and talk about being one on here? because sometimes it really feels like that’s all it takes for some of y’all to just assume i hate nonbinary people, as if those are mutually exclusive categories (which is ironically an exorsexist assumption in itself).

anyway, if it needed to be said, of course i view nonbinary people as nonbinary. it would be very silly of me to feel differently given that i’m not a binary trans person myself and that most of the trans people i’m close to in real life are nonbinary. i would strongly encourage you to ask yourself what it is about me that made you feel the need to ask me this in the first place.

#i am. so tired #anon hate #<- idc if it wasn’t meant as that or doesn’t seem that way to other people bc at this point? i’m done treating these as genuine questions #like this is what i mean when i talk about how frustrating it is to be a trans man with a complex gender #bc it really feels like other nonbinary people will just. see that you’re a man and assume not only that you’re not part of the community #but that you must be actively hostile toward it #idk. maybe i’m reading too much into this question but it feels shitty and i’m not gonna pretend it doesn’t

one of the wild things about people’s stubborn insistence on misunderstanding The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas is that the narrator anticipates an audience that won’t engage with the text, just in the opposite direction. Throughout the story are little asides asking what the reader is willing to believe in. Can you believe in a utopia? What if I told you this? What about this? Can you believe in the festivals? The towers by the sea? Can we believe that they have no king? Can we believe that they are joyful? Does your utopia have technology, luxury, sex, temples, drugs? The story is consulting you as it’s being told, framed as a dialogue. It literally asks you directly: do you only believe joy is possible with suffering? And, implicitly, why?

the question isn’t just “what would you personally do about the kid.” It isn’t just an intricate trolley problem. It’s an interrogation of the limits of imagination. How do we make suffering compulsory? Why? What futures (or pasts) are we capable of imagining? How do we rationalize suffering as necessary? And so on. In all of the conversations I’ve seen or had about this story, no one has mentioned the fact that it’s actively breaking the fourth wall. The narrator is building a world in front of your eyes and challenging you to participate. “I would free the kid” and then what? What does the Omelas you’ve constructed look like, and why? And what does that say about the worlds you’re building in real life?

#ursula k le guin #omelas #There are so many ideas in this story that simply do not get engaged with! #I’ve heard it argued that a central element of anarchism #as a political philosophy #is the expansion of the imagination: what is truly possible if we forget the structures we are raised in? #if we forget what we have been told is or is not possible? #le guin wasn’t an anarchist but her work is heavily inspired by anarchist thought #Also the idea that the compassion of citizens of omelas is possible only because they are able to see themselves in relation and contrast t #the kid #very interesting stuff there #arguably a searing critique of moderate liberals #who feel compassion from on high but rationalize the ways in which those who suffer cosmically deserve it #in order to maintain structures of suffering #This short story is breaking the fourth wall Constantly to grab you by the collar and ask #what do you think is possible in the world and what do you think is good and what do you think is necessary #If you want to free the kid then what! What does that mean! #ALSO if omelas is a place being constructed as an idea #are the ones who walk away meant to be literally deserting a place #or are they rejecting an idea #hmmm much to think about

miscommunication chaos aside segasaki respectful legend like yoh offhandedly stressed about the sheets ONCE and segasaki was like bet let me think of a way to avoid this situation in the future so that he'll never be stressed about it again. and then stuck to it unwaveringly for three years months.

#my personal weatherman #like did he consequently cause a fucking avalanche of even more stress and confusion for yoh? yes BUT HE MEANT SO WELL #considerate... in his way... #im just really excited to see where they go now that its been made clear that yoh is so unhappy with the situation #three years on....but its never too late i suppose... #good luck kids we're all rooting for you #beau watches mpw #EDIT: glad to know it wasn’t actually 3 yrs BUT THE POINT STILL STANDS

maybe i am dumb maybe i’m smarter than everyone but i thought it was common knowledge that mike did not initially intend for the ‘it’s not my fault you don’t like girls’ comment to have gay implications

#like. ??? i thought that was the point #that he says it not meaning anything by it other that it’s not my fault that this stuff doesn’t seem to matter to you #not meaning it in a gay way just in a like. the girls thing does not bother you but it does bother me there is a discrepancy here #(def still a projection of Some Sort but he didn’t mean it to be he wasn’t trying to pass blame) #and then will Took It as a gay thing #and mike watched him take it that way #and immediately backtracked like???? #idk to Me it seemed like it was meant to imply to the audience (and maybe mike too) that will was gay #not that mike was Necessarily #bc that’s where we were at in the fandom and progression of the storyline atp #idk maybe i’m wrong and you can interpret that scene however you want #But. when i see ppl using it as gay mike Proof and saying bi mike isn’t a possibility i go hmmm. #<- not trying to get involved in that discourse ofc just pointing out Again that it’s dumb #ANYWAY. sorry that is just my thoughts and i thought that was the intention in the show but who knows

there was some display gallery showing off the various logos in hypmic and the ichikuu peeps on the tl were in shambles over both of them using halos in their mc name signatures lol

#vee queued to fill the void #i understand lol this is a pretty big deal like actually lol #one fan suggested an nb logo could have angel imagery since nb was under stairway to heaven #another in a very fast paced series of tweets cried about it being potential sign of ichiro and kuukou’s bond spanning from life #but even into their deaths and beyond when they reunite in heaven (and even pointed out the meaning of stairway to heaven) #and goddamn i sure love being jacked into the hypmic hive mind i can’t believe i was just musing about kuukou and death #and then directly got food for thought LOL but ichiro!!!!!!! i wasn’t expecting ichiro lol!!!!!! #but bb has been weirdly associated with christmas aka the birth of jesus #who gave his life for humanity and i am too in shambles no way does both ichiro and kuukou have self sacrifice themes NO WAY #god i remember when the hella awesome banquet mv dropped and bat fandom banded together to dissect the video #one person commented it’s strange to see kuukou in association with catholic/christian imagery #but posted a wiki article talking about the similarities between buddha and jesus and the ideologies in those religions #*crying* i even posted about it the black crown above kuukou’s head was both catholic and buddhist and meant to be beneficial for humanity #ichiro constantly being shaken to his core by sacrifices…….. him trying to show the nation the path of hope………… #this is so much lol i love getting food for thought from random observations and drops lol

My favorite bit of costume design from the live action promo has GOT to be Usopp with the sick coat and the more standard pirate Captain’s hat. And maybe I’m just reading too much into it, but not only does Jacob look damn good in that outfit, it also feels so incredibly fitting to Usopp’s character. Specially this very early days Usopp, who is still only ‘playing pirate’. The Usopp who’s still idealizing the journey ahead, just a little bit, and still kind of wants to be the Captain or Co-Captain, just a little bit. An Usopp with the potential to live up to those big dreams of adventures, but still needs time to ground himself and mature and grow into his own identity. Who, for now, is only dressing and acting the way pirates are expected to dress and act. I am charmed and heart-eyed and I cant wait to see this Usopp in action.

#I’m excited for Jacob’s Usopp okay! I wasn’t that into Usopp’s character when he was first introduced in the anime. #I only really got into him during Skypeia and of course the whole Water 7 saga- when we truly saw his strengths and flaws shine #But Early Usopp’s lies and cowardice were never my thing. I wasn’t convinced on what he was there for- what he was contributing to the crew #But from the promo stuff I know Jacob’s playing Usopp as someone “who would say anything if it meant protecting the people he loves” #Whose lack of pride are both his greatest strength and weakness! And whose softer heart contrasts Nami and Zoro #and whose pirate ideals can both compliment AND oppose Luffy’s #So I’m excited! I hope the LA finds more ways to make me appreciate the characters we’re revisiting. I really do #one piece #usopp #op live action #opla #one piece live action #op usopp #my post

Why don't you allow them to do dubbing for you?

While a few people have been polite enough to ask and properly credit there’s a quite a few dubs that didn’t get permission, didn’t credit properly if at all… even credited the wrong person on purpose. And don’t get me started on people using AI voices to “dub” comics (also without crediting the source) . At least put in the effort. That’s just reposting art at this point :’> anyway it gets depressing when people say they’ve seen your art but couldn’t even find you because of that. I love the dubs that people were nice about tho 💖 it means a lot that they’d go out of their way to do that sincerely because they just liked the comics or contributed to the ideas somehow but yeah it got pretty overwhelming and bad after a while.

#and even if you comment on those videos or someone else mentions the actual artist #they pretty much openly ignore you #not just the people who uploaded the video but everyone that follows them #it’s like the artists isn’t a person #the person who sat down for who knows how many hours to actually draw the entire thing #pix answers #fnaf #anyway yeah sorry y’all if you keep hearing this explanation it’s literally?? the fourth time #I’ll just update the pinned message 💖 so y’all don’t have to keep reading this over and over again #=w= major respect to people who actually dub comics tho that’s hard work #i wish it wasn’t like this maybe if this gets resolved in the future then it’s fine #and to everyone who’s been polite and respectful about the dubs ? 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 #you’re so good you’re the best #aight =w= from now on tho just ? just gonna put this in the pinned message👌 it gets tiring for everyone else to keep hearing it and #my blog is meant to be silly and happy and sometimes maybe angsty but in the silly way

i’m also gonna ask that nobody call me a “himbo” in the future as well. i understand it’s not a part of my life i put on here, but i put too much effort into academia, have too many academic achievements, and have too many issues with other people in my life calling me stupid for me to be comfortable being called that

I had a dream that we had an episode where we met Birdperson’s parents and it was confirmed that in their culture it’s normal for entire families to share a bed and I was so excited to come on here and talk about it and write a Birdrick ‘there was only one bed’ fic where Birdperson and Rick get a studio flat together to save on rent

#rick and morty #rnm #rick sanchez #birdperson #birdrick #you have no idea how sad i was to wake up and realise it wasn’t real #i had so many details planned in my dream as well lmao #i was like ‘ok maybe the flesh curtains break up and squanchy goes his separate ways but rick and bp stay together’ #but they have no money so they have to share a room for cheaper rent #because bp reveals that that’s normal in his culture and rick’s like ‘oh sure you know we have to save money‘ lmao #i also saw a scene of them having a bath together for some reason? #this was not explained #i remember rick telling himself ‘don’t look’ at bp’s dick #also i assume that part was meant to be part of the fic and not the episode #oh another detail i remembered: #i was playing around with the idea of squanchy moving out first and so they had an empty room for a bit #and then vanbo (yes that vanbo from solar opposites) moved in instead #to add fuel to the ‘we need to move out’ fire
