there’s pure comedy in film red and the retcon of shanks’s daughter who was there the whole time and no it won’t ever not make me laugh that every single scene uta appears in feels like 2003 oc fanfiction come to life we came full fucking circle on this one

#i've already seen some detail points of the movie which make it seem super questionable #but i also enjoy everyone fucking fighting over this retcon hope it tears this house apart #sara's not watching the one about pirates #i'll forget about this in the months before it actually reaches the US but it's funny now and that's what counts #well except for the apparent ending that is actually extremely questionable and raises some serious concerns #that being said there are so many smarter workarounds they could have used to still use this sort of plot they did #instead of just making uta shanks's daughter for clout points #they could have gone saga from zoro's background route and just have luffy take a trip as a child at an unspecified point in time #he meets uta who has a red-headed father who distinctly reminds us of shanks #but uta's father leaves her when she's very young and luffy's trip as a child ends and memories of his time spent with her fade #but uta does remember him because it was a happier time in her life and not knowing the fate of her father has hung over her head for years #so when the straw hats go to the concert uta recognizes luffy and luffy eventually recognizes her so that's still a plot #and yeah sure involve shanks somehow but not so deliberately i guess that just caused pure comedy #could have even had uta mistake him as her father which he corrects but then still tries to help her #just a number of different ways this could have gone that wouldn't make this all feel like a long joke slash tone deaf af fever dream

Something that's really crystallized for me in recent months is that the kind of performative hype (or pre-emptive disappointment) that goes on in social media spaces is simply not something I can be heavily party to if I want to have an honest experience with a game.

Rumor-mongers, streamers, influencers-- what are they to me? What is their opinion to me? They are not me. They have not lived my life nor do they have my specific set of biases. They are not possessed of the specific lens through which I would naturally experience the story and mechanics. They cannot give me my opinion, nor am I motivated in any way to adopt theirs because of that whole authenticity issue.

But if I try to divine what the "acceptable" or most common opinions are, it does little but destroy my ability to enjoy anything at all. It makes me want to hide it if I do enjoy it for fear of punishment. And let's be real here--there's a metric fuckton of poison and faux anticipation out there that's generated for no other reason than engagement.

Truth lies in the one on one experience with the game, relatively free of influence or the social pressure to agree to anyone's take.

#fandom wank #-ish #I've watched people say they love a thing and go nuts over all the reasons why...but the moment their favorite fan or influencer talks shit? #Suddenly it's negativity all the way down #Like night and day. #Likewise... I've watched people hype themselves up not over information they truly have but feed off others' energy... #and then claim they were lied to when all they imagined didn't transpire *just so*. #I had no hype or expectations for FF16. #I was depressed and played the demo to do something other than sit and emotionally rot. #All I had was a friend and a family member telling me I should check it out. Minimal pressure. Just some honest recs with zero chance of #clout fishing. #And what do you know? Without the need to form what others might call a 'correct opinion' or the fear that my enjoyment might offend... #It turned out to be a fucking *magical* experience.

i think that “politically correct” ways of saying things are usually better/more accurate but i hate using pc terms that aren't the most commonly used term because im paranoid someone is going to think that im just using political correctness to appear woke or whatever without actually understanding or caring about things that actually matter. but i do like coming up with little ways to improve accuracy of language that literally only matter to me. no one can accuse me of being pc for clout if im the one who decided it was the pc way of saying something and didn't tell anyone else

#like ive started making an effort to talk about the hebrew calendar in ways that are more accurate if also more wordy #like saying “when does pesach fall on the gregorian calendar this year” rather than “whens pesach this year” #even though like i wouldnt be annoyed at someone for using the latter and it's what more people would say #i also have said “keep kashres” rather than “keep kosher” #and “become bar mitzvah”/“celebrate becoming bar mitzvah” rather than “have a bar mitzvah” #txt #actually if im being honest it's not just that im worried people will think im clout-seeking but also that im worried that people #will think that ive been brainwashed into political correctness. which is maybe something i should work on

we should bring back the term "sockpuppet" in fandom. like for no reason in particular.

#hehe i technically have a sockpuppet acct but just the one. idk if it fully counts tho #it is. i woke up like two hours ago n i got deeply distracted bc i checked my tumblr tags n i looked at somone's carrd #n poked around their twt n saw them rt smth from someone that made me go 'wait i thought you left twt' #n i recognized them bc they were like. i wanna say a 'tastemaker' (unrelated but i had godly chocolate cake last night) in xv #but i simply do not vibe too deeply w their tastes n so it is literally just me n my small group of mutuals against The World #unfortunately i would need clout in order to correct the people's tastes n i have mixed feelings abt that #花話

real talk,

the online resources for people with osdd and did are trash because it's overrun with tiktok teens and 20 yos who think them wanting to be an anime character, or their ocs, is them having a crippling and completely debilitating mental disorder caused by *severe* trauma before the age of 7 (oh and at the same time they dont even believe did develops because of trauma!)

pairings: lando norris x fem!reader | pato o'ward x fem!reader

summary: y/n is an F1 content creator loved among the grid and the fans, and more than one person ships her with lando due to how close they've always been. but when y/n goes to her first IndyCar race, the last thing she expects is being involved in rumours with another mclaren driver.

warnings: love triangle? kinda.

author's note: i might turn this into a mini series but i'll see how it goes. btw english it's not my first language so if there's any grammatical error please let me know so i can fix it, ty🧡 now enjoy!

I live in Philly and it's been extremely frustrating with Fetterman...He pretended to be like one of us and made these big promises of unity and support. And now it feels like we just got Doctor Oz.

Politicians do this thing where they allow us to fill in some details on our own, and don't correct us if they aren't exactly matching up with what they believe. I do believe that Fetterman is sincerely progressive, and that he sincerely cares about doing right by the people who elected him. So he lets us paint him as super progressive, when he's actually closer to ... whatever passes for the middle today. Less progressive, but still progressive, I guess.

I have always felt that it's okay to be disappointed with people who generally support our goals and work to advance them, even if we have an extremely strong difference of opinion on one or more issues. Remember that voting is a bus that gets you closer to your ultimate goal, and while we may disagree on the route we take, it's so much better that we are going in the same direction, instead of into the fucking nightmare mines of terror and Trumpism.

That said, with this remark, Fetterman just ... it's such a fucking Privileged White Guy move, you know? Totally unnecessary, feeds a narrative that is ultimately hurtful to all of our shared goals, and is just gross. Like I said, deeply disappointing. I hope that someone close to him can get his ear and ask him to think about the larger consequences of degrading his House colleagues with a hot take for some clout. I hope that the guy I supported in the election would listen and take it to heart.

But even if he doesn't, we still agree on so much, including the preservation of democracy -- which is genuinely in danger for the first time in my fifty one years on this planet. We agree on the equal rights amendment. We agree on protecting trans kids and ensuring that everyone has ultimate control over their own bodies, including people who can become pregnant.

This tweet is gross and offensive, for sure. His position on campus protests is morally bankrupt, I believe, and I think he's on the wrong side of history there, to say nothing of the human rights implications.

But Oz would have been unfathomably terrible for Philly, Pennsylvania, America, and the world. Oz is a chaos agent, an incompetent, effete, empty suit. He would be a puppet and a vote for the end of America as we know it, and he would do everything he could to stop all those things I mentioned Fetterman and I care about from ever becoming law.

This is a lot of words to say that I hear you, and I share your disappointment, and I'd rather be disappointed with Fetterman than facing the consequences of Oz.

Fetterman is someone we can work with, and if we can endure the bullshit of people like Manchin and Lieberman, we can absolutely withstand disappointment with Fetterman, who still votes in support of our progressive, Democratic, priorities.

ok so this probably the only time I'll be "dooming" in ur asks and then I'll be back on the dnf baby grind but it's just a random thought I can't get out of my head:

and it's just that I feel like Caiti has majorly fucked up her own future career. like even ignoring the fact that her accountability has been torn to shreds, I doubt people will be as willing to colab/hang out with her because tbh she will probably be viewed as a lliability or ppl will be too cautious of not upsetting her to even bother interacting with her at all.

And I've seen other ppl say this and was like "nah she has all the Brighton ppl I'm sure she could recover her career with them somehow" but also that's not great for her either because, from what I've seen over the past month, a majority of the rest of the internet hates them as well(also they're shitty friends and imo she needs better ones but that's smth for another day...maybe.).

I just have the feeling that a majority of ppl would be reluctant to colab with any of that group because they've proven that anything that they perceive as a personal slight/as offensive can and will be turned against you for their personal gain(I'm mainly talking about the Brighton bastards here, not Caiti). Like with the Dteam(hell even ppl like Tommy and tubbo) they're hated by a majority of the mcyt space but a majority of ppl in the rest of the internet are either indifferent or like them, which gets them more collabs with stuff unrelated to mc and more mainstream stuff(example: dreams wired interview, the snf content with Larray, ect)

I feel like all of this combined will probably mean that Caiti(if she chooses to continue content creation) will have a significantly harder time growing her channel/audience and will likely be known by the wider audience as "that girl who accused gnf of sa" rather than her own cc. which genuinely really upsets me on her behalf. imo she really just ruined her own future rather than George's as many ppl are saying

-baby fever anon(sorry if none of this makes sense)

yeah I get what you mean anon. And unfortunately I do think you're correct- people outside of the community have already regarded caiti and the brighton bastards as liars and terrible clout chasers and no one is ever going to want to be near people who are like that.

In addition, caiti is very clearly unstable and I think that is going to drive a lot of people away from her. And she will likely be defined by this for the rest of her CC career which is so sad because this could have gone so much differently if she had treated it better.

The rhetoric of anti-porn ideologues is as insidious as it is annoying. They use the fact that porn addiction is a real phenomenon to paint anyone who consumes porn to any extent as an addict, which is patently delusional, but calling someone a desperate addict is a really easy way to get random people who don't know anything about the person being attacked onto the attacker's side, because if the audience don't know them and they try to defend themself as not being an addict, then it's very easy for the attacker to just go "see? Obviously they're just in denial and need help."

Another thing is that they start at a reasonable premise: Yes, porn addiction is a real thing that some people succumb to in the same way that one can get addicted to anything enjoyable, and there are businesses that should be under scrutiny that weaponize that fact and actively try to pray on addicts, which can ruin their lives much further than the addiction itself would on its own. But then the anti-porn acolyte falsely equivocates this very reasonable stance with "all porn is inherently damaging to society, and anyone who consumes porn to any extent is an addict."

The fact that people who do this schtick genuinely get a lot of respect despite literally just being puritans who farm clout by harassing random people online is as depressing as their shitty, anti-fun ideology and this toy's sick of seeing them.

There's a popular Youtube video essayist who made a tweet a while back claiming that all fetish porn is inherently immoral and fetishes have no place in an advanced society, and his sources boiled down to "trust me bro." He doesn't even give any kind of coherent argument for his stance. He just kind of asserts, based on nothing, that kink is a major contributing factor to how much mental illness exists in the world and that 90% of the world agrees with him. He then goes on to call anyone who disputes his claims a desperate addict attacking him from degenerate subreddits, and he paints his detractors in this way specifically to avoid having to make an actual counterargument to anything they are saying, because then he would sound like a stupid pseudointellectual asshole (precisely what he is) because he doesn't have a counterargument in the first place.

And if you find yourself thinking, while reading this, "Hm, this all mirrors a lot of argument tactics commonly used by a particular group who are known for not being too terribly fond of minorities, especially jewish people," you would be exactly correct. This toy's not saying that every anti-porn ideologue is a nazi, but a lot of them are reactionary conservatives who, at the very least, are not fond of the LGBT, and most of the ones who aren't still use the same exact rhetorical tactics based on dogma and harassment that nazis use to prop their bigotry up and make anyone who disagrees with them look like some kind of sickly degenerate, and that should be a red flag for anyone. In fact, unironic use of the word "degenerate" to negatively describe others should always raise alarms in your mind.

It's really incredible how scared so many people are of sexuality. This toy thinks a lot of it comes down to projection. Like, yeah, it sucks that you got addicted to porn at an early age and it stunted your social development or whatever, but perhaps your personal experiences are not universal. This toy doesn't want to say "skill issue" to people who have had genuine struggles with addiction, but damn, some people make it hard not to.

Honestly so relieved with the charity they picked. As an adult I spent a lot of time trying to not seek out validation for my political/social opinions from celebrities but I am so glad they're doing this. I don't mind him being apolitical online but it's nice to see he's doing this because it's important

yeah i think phil has always been good about this even tho sure hes not as vocal about his politics as dan can be. i was talking to some friends and i misremembered phil posting a black square on ig during the BLM protests for george floyd (which if u dont remember was just the absolute laziest form of performative activism) but they quickly corrected me that he actually posted a graphic that said Black lives matter and had a handful of resources in support of the movement and didnt tag it was blacksquare or anything like that and imo very clearly wasnt doing that for clout

i'll be real i was growing a little frustrated hearing about people who were really begging them to speak up about this, and i can understand feeling disappointed when your favs dont speak up about something important but ultimately sometimes thats a thing you just have to let go. and like this point is moot now because they are speaking up and supporting the pcrf and everything! i remember when people hounded dan for tweeting about a ceasefire? as in pro-palestine ppl getting angry with the way he worded his tweet? and like. idk i get it sometimes dan doesnt perfectly phrase things but like WE KNOW he has his heart in the right place so like what's the point in getting upset about the particulars of his choice of words.in general internet culture is so much about semantics and wording things rather than about actions and intent and impact on the world.

and its also very much a parasocial thing to where like, i think for ME bc ive figured out a healthier way to interact with my favs. i know how to separate them from me as a person so like, dnp's actions and statements don't say anything about me as a person or any of their fans. and i mean that's been proven with like, on twitter theres like all these fanartists doing incentives for ppl to donate for fanart and thats like so cool and like didnt need to be sanctioned by dnp or anything it was just something a bunch of people decided together ykwim?

#myrambles #anyway point is i agree im very happy they are doing this!

[annapoofle]

Saw the Mean Girls Musical movie and A) I loved it I loved it I loved it I cannot stress enough how much I fucking loVED IT AULI'I CRAVALHO ANGOURIE RICE AND RENEÉ RAPP ALL BLEW MY SOCKS OFF and B) the whole time I just felt like there was like one thing they were getting fundamentally wrong with Reneé Rapp's Regina and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. And it wasn't until I got home that I realized it's that she was so clearly enjoying herself the ENTIRE time, in just about every single scene in the beginning she looked genuinely happy and content, where in the 2004 film when Regina was played by Rachel McAdams you could see in her eyes that she was DEEPLY unhappy every second of every day, even when she was at the tippity-top of the food chain.

And like, correct me if I'm wrong because I honestly haven't spent very much of my life analyzing Mean Girls 2004 at all, but wasn't that like... the entire point? That Regina is a genius teen girl in an American high school where the only expectation is for her to be as pretty as possible and gain as much social clout as possible, so she's been putting every ounce of her frightening intellect into achieving JUST that, but it never satisfies her because that's not a very satisfying thing to achieve so she's always hungry for more? And it's been slowly driving her visibly insane for years so shes never fucking happy?? I'm preeeeetty sure that was a key point of the movie idk.

Because like. Cady is SIMILARLY incredibly smart, she was just raised completely outside of American society, and then just a few short months after she's thrown into the exact same high school culture Regina's been living in her entire life, she becomes exactly like Regina.

the thing that makes me believe they are still together in some capacity (ranging from recent reconciliation to having a family w 2 kids….i go back and forth on this) are the koincidences they both keep consistently pulling.

if they’re truly not in each other’s lives in a meaningful way i don’t get the benefit for karlie to keep doing those things? regardless of what she posts the large majority of the comments WONT be people actually getting whatever that day’s nuanced link or reference to taylor or her work is … rather they will just be hate comments so you’d think if anything that would make her want to distance herself from taylor. and lets not forget that it’s not even just random instagram posts, it’s several of her brand commercials and stuff that have been eerily similar in ways to some of taylor’s stuff (aka lots of planning, meetings from both K and T’s teams). yes, some make the argument that karlie is just using taylor for clout but if so where are the pictures from the ERAS tour then? that argument has never made sense to me because from day 1 karlie has seemingly acted the opposite of a clout-chaser w/ regards to taylor (correct me if you think otherwise).

and from taylor’s perspective she’s doing so much unhinged shit recently (8/9 heart eyes to K that were 100% deliberate and meant to be noticed or the 8.03 shipping etc) that if they’re not together i’d just laugh because wtf girl.

for me it always comes back to the fact that such a small % of her fans pick up on the queer flagging she’s doing in general and an even smaller % see the consistent links to karlie that if they aren’t together it just seems like an awful lot of work for both of them.

Couldn't agree more with EVERYTHING that you said just there!

OH. OH. SPEAKING OF LITTLE VICTORIES. i have to make a correction to an assertion i made previously that at no point in mtmte is it ever indicated that anyone considers rodimus a prime despite his briefly carrying the matrix. i was uh. Very Wrong TM, since:

he does. i think just this once! on camera, while bigging himself up, he calls himself that. now, whether he actually considers himself one (versus just trying to put up a front for the clout of it all) is another matter, but rodimus does indeed claim that title, and he does it in MTMTE itself no less. so. oops.

#i have no idea how this got so thoroughly wiped out of my brain somehow??? #idw #rodimus #he then does say 'not yet' but it's clear here he is trying to claim he thinks he counts. so!

[animentality]

I don’t like shitting on what other ppl like so I won’t. But I agree that Durgetash fandom feels chill and mature about what it wants and that’s why I love it. Actually I think it’s The Dark Urge fandom in general. Haven’t seen much bullshit with Durge x other ships. Paradoxically the most problematic Origin leads to the most interesting and/or wholesome fan content.

It's not a paradox, it's a proven fact that fandoms for fucked up content like Hannibal will always be less toxic than fandoms for shit like Steven Universe and My Little Pony.

Because fucking mature adults are the typical fans of fucked up stuff. We all know what we are watching and we have jobs and pay taxes and have spouses and children, and we fucking know, it's not that serious.

You can ship a war criminal and a serial killer, whatever.

But Astarion x Tav and Gale x Tav and all the other origin fans are like teens, maybe even kids whose parents buy them any game they ask for, even if it's rated mature.

And they don't have the life experience to be chill. They stake their entire identities and moral code upon a fictional landscape that has no bearing on who you are as a person, except on superficial levels.

They also don't know better. You do NOT engage with pricks online. You don't start or end discourse. You ignore it because you're here to have fun, and if you're an adult, you know it's not that serious.

So durgetash fans are more chill, because I suspect many already know our ship is toxic and we do not care.

It's also a very small fandom.

Small fandoms tend to be more chill than big ones. You all know each other, even if somewhat distantly, and you're just so happy to see any other fans like you that you never want to start beef.

Plus none of us have clout.

The BG3 fandom is big enough for clout seekers.

People who say the "correct" opinion to gain followers for themselves.

But us durgetash fans are such a freak minority, that we are all incorrect.

And that's why we're having a good time.

Nothing quite like being wrong with friends.
