#And has lots of opinions apparently

[thefanciestborrower]

Thinking about how the honey I shrunk the kids trilogy had the most epic, straight out of a sci-fi novel looking shrinkray I’ve ever seen, and they had the AUDACITY to call it a shrinking machine

Like

Sir I’m pretty sure that’s the most shrinkray looking shrinkray you could have made what do you mean ‘shrinking machine’

#now the thing in Innerspace? #that’s a shrinking machine #but THIS #is pretty much the DEFINITION of shrinkray how dare you call it anything else #Legit no clue what to tag this lol I just have a lot of feelings #mom got tired of me ranting to her about it so I’m gonna rant to y’all instead #not vore or g/t #tho I suppose you could...sorta count it as g/t?? #fandom stuff #Cj speaks #And has lots of opinions apparently

thats not leaking blood the colours are just a little stylized 😭 i cant be the only person who genuinely likes that portrait

I said if u squint it looks that way, I understand that it's not the intention bud. And ur probably not the only one but it's certainly a niche opinion. Like I've been racking my brain to think of reasons the artist might want to make it look like he was painting on a meat canvas and none of them are particularly flattering to ol king chuck. The artist wanted the military uniform to fade into the background to bring the man himself into better focus and humanise him. Which. yeah trying to cover over their violent history by humanising themselves is certainly what the royal family are going for these days so shoutout to the artist for getting the assignment ig lmao. And the one fucking incongruous butterfly that was apparently Charles' idea really gets me

Anyway no royal portrait was gonna work for me, in the same way that I'd be pissed if my landlord was like "hey look what I spent ur rent money on" and it was a fuckin statue of themselves, yk? Royal portraits in general are flimsy fuckin propaganda that waste our damn money, and this one is no different to me, it's just a more self-serving version

#apologies for the shinigami eyes link. it's a guardian article #like the look of the painting is kind of neither here nor there to me. like it's a weird choice but I'd hate it either way #looking at ur tags I can't disagree that it's an accurate representation of the man #it was also queen camilla's impression of the portrait apparently. like yea that's definitely him #like yea there's a lot of technical skill on display. obviously. they're royalty. they can afford the best in the business #it's just high quality art in service of a useless subject #and like I said there are some real negative ways that an anti-monarchist like myself can read the artistic choices made #I'm not convinced that he's not on our side lmao #and who's paying for this portrait? the taxpayers? during a cost of living crisis? or is it cash from the duchy he inherited #or is it leftover money from his fuckin tax dodge #like my main opinion on the portrait is: stop trying to make king charles happen. it's not gonna happen #the way the media has desperately tried to get charles the same affection as the queen is pathetic #british monarchy abolished in my lifetime let's make it happen

Dont fancy changing anyone's mind.

Just baffled at how 600 people can find it funny when someone who is struggling with trauma, guilt, and suicide thoughts is blamed, harassed, and bullied. Especially in a fandom of a show that addresses trauma and abuse. But hey, the author herself intended so, so I guess it's really just me 🤷‍♀️

So glad that whole arc was cut in the anime.

#classmates bullying Kisa is a abuse #people calling Haru stupid is abuse #Yuki fan club gatekeeping who has access to Yuki is abuse #but apparently when it's kyo it's just a lot of fun #there's something very wrong in the humor of this show #especially considering the Cat’s role in the story #(apparently) unpopular opinion #but as Kyo said who cares about being popular #fruits basket manga #fruits basket #furuba #kyo sohma #manga #hospital arc

i ended up having a like. 30 minute conversation with some of those "freedom convoy" people. was at the bus stop. they were wearing trump hats. i ended up roped into the conversation because i was so taken aback at seeing one in public i was just. staring at it. ive never felt more depressed about someone elses life and beliefs than when i talked to them.

#they fucking. tokd me about the litterboxes in schools for kids identifying as cats and i had to #break it to them that that wasnt true and explained that. also explained. what its like yo be autistic. how i find it joyful #and also discussed how they believe trump has been spoken to by god and chosen to lead and how they arent christians or catholics like they #used to be but instead talk directly to him and have him inside them #and also apparently how 15 minute cities in china are used to keep people imprisoned where they are #and we arent a democracy anymore. which was so funny considering. they are participating for a party #running in the election #i gave them my perspective on being transgender and gay and watched them have like. 3 or 4 ''are we the baddies'' moments #explained what puberty blockers actually do. that surgery is paid out of peoples own pockets. that we literally only have #one doctor who can perform these surgeries and hes abt to retire #and at the end of the convo they were like ''youre so pleasant. youre really smart young lady'' and i was like ''ty? i just. read a lot' #god i hope they learned. something. or i changed some opinion. they seemed to have a more positive view of autistic people at least #i just like. fuck dude. these fuckin right wing grifters are ruining these peoples lives. #the lady has been unemployeed since covid cos she got sucked into this antivax stuff and now theyre both financially unstable #perfect targets for tamaki and the freedoms people who were known for squeezing money out of people through bogus religious stuff #those two have been twisted into just. hateful and scared and are saying the most. insane shit and they dont even realize it. #and the worst part of it was the amount of young people there. so many people my age just deluded into this nonsense. #and kids JESUS CHRIST so many kids holding signs about ''protecting the kiwi way of life'' like bro every single thing #you are getting upset about an imported culture war. you arent threatened by this shit. #youve latched onto american culture war stuff because youre insecure in your whiteness and existence in a colonial country #its so fucking evil.

We have something called a "Siamese connection" referring to a connection with two mirrored sides that you can plumb into.

This sounds like an inappropriate name. Is it?

#totes bro #like actual question #its in standards so it would be annoying to change but I believe in ASME or whoever names pipes #I actually dont know how it's different from a wye #okay apparently its the same but a wye doesn't have a clapper #and it has 2 female inlets while a wye may not #like idk. this isn't the most confusing plumbing out there #also its my opinion that a lot of these are not valves but people call them valves #unless it has an internal mechanisms idk i dont think its a valve like plumbing one side does not make it a valve #which we call it a connection but a lot of people call it a valve #certainly some have valves on them but this is just a wye lol #**plugging one side not plumbing #why not an fntp fntp wye? #if its not offensive then i guess no problem but i dislike that fire departments get special words for wyes and then have the nerve #nerve to call it a valve

you know i really love that priest wrote that wcx dresses masculine and deepens her voice to pass as a man. there's really no reason at all for wcx to do this, she's long past the point where her grandfather dressed her like that for her protection, but she does it anyways because she just prefers to present herself this way, AND its consistently brought up by the narrative and not forgotten or pushed to the side. i genuinely appreciate it a whole lot :)

#pip speaks #unsolicited tai sui opinions #hi. read tai sui. we have gender here #also wcx got a wife. like idk if it'll be canon yet but they live together and had the funniest possible meetcute #im obsessed with them #women <3 #wcx continues to be the coolest tai sui character #i really like the cool noir detectives pj has but you know what he doesnt have? gender and a vengeance arc. so wcx wins. #i feel like normally when a character is written as presenting themself as a man it's both under duress and something they want to escape #+being able to present themselves in a more feminine way is shown as being liberating by the narrative and then its never brought up again #which is perfectly fine!! and can be done really well AND also has its own fun gender stuff #but like. i also really like it when they continue to present themselves masculine because thats just what they prefer #there's a lot of things tai sui does that i like a lot #normally thoughts like these get slapped onto my side twitter account (zapphalt) but i went over the word count #and apparently i have more to say than i thought. oops @ these tags

Me wanting to read the locked tomb books cuz certain things about them do seem interesting to me vs never ever EVER wanting to read them out of sheer spite because of how fucking obnoxious and pretentious literally every single post I have ever seen about them on tumblr.com is and if they are even remotely anything like the way 90% of ppl talk about them I do not think I will like them and I’ll just be pissed off

#I have one friend who has read them #and their opinions differ from like everyone else’s I have ever seen #and they’re the only person I trust regarding them lmao sorry literally everyone on this webbed site is stupid when it comes to media #esp media that has been labeled ‘deep’ and ‘subversive’ and ‘revolutionary’ #sry personal 0 to 100 rage inducing pet peeve is ppl being annoying and pretentious FUCKS about pieces of media #and something about locked tomb seems to trigger that in a lot of y’all #I get the sense it will be a nge rgu dmcb moment for me again #where I was promised all these things about how amazing and groundbreaking it is #and I’ll be left feeling like I need to tear my hair out because you read something dunked in fifty billion unnecessary metaphors and with #needlessly confusing storytelling techniques and thought that made it High Art without examining it any further #and not accepting any criticism of it whatsoever cuz criticism apparently just means someone is too stupid to get it #anyways #kaz rambles

Anywayyyy, my jedi's name is An'ese and she's a zabrak (technically iridonian, but in my headcanon she is half dathomirian). She is going to become a jedi scientist who wants to help heal worlds that have been destroyed by all the terrible things people do in the star wars universe. She is so tall and I love her 🧡

#because she's iridonian I can't give her fun colors but just know she is more orange than this and her horns are pointy not round #(YES I know dathomirian zabrak women don't have horns but I can ignore canon if I want to) #her mom was iridonian and her dad was dathomirian #she prefers wearing robes over pants. she loves tea way too much #she loves reading and spends all her free time in the jedi archives #I am going to have to draw her bedroom because APPARENTLY no one else wants to draw jedi rooms #because I can't find anything online :( just a lot of yoda's room and spaceship rooms #I have Opinions about her room and what it's like #I also think the canon body type 3 is not exactly what she looks like #but.... there aren't body sliders. so just imagine she is less booby and has a wider torso. she does have that much ass tho cause DAMN lol #I also think she has fangs because she just should

praying that this one artist i watch livestream doesn't ever look at my chat history bc i feel like I look really weird through it 😭 I have immense anxiety among other issues so I'll usually only manage to work up the nerve to send One (1) random msg in chat at some point during a stream and then immediately feel like I have done smth terribly wrong (even if I am just agreeing with everyone else in chat ???) and not be able to send anything else the entire rest of the stream

so my message history would just be like... one completely random comment per stream and nothing else and I feel like that probably looks really really strange fjfkdl

#its so awful bc I'm like... good at talking to ppl usually #or i CAN be good if I have the energy to do so #but a lot of my conversational skills revolve around asking ppl abt themselves and not saying my own things #bc thats all I've ever been able to do my entire life fjfkdl nobody has ever rly asked much abt me or taken an interest in me and my things #so when it comes to having my own opinions or ideas or whatnot... that's terrifying to try to communicate to other ppl fjdldl #it just sucks so bad bc i think i could get along very well w many ppl if i just... didnt feel like the worlds worst person to be around #today and yesterday have been difficult so my brain is biting me rn fjfkdl idk what is wrong w me these past couple days fjfkdl #there is no real evidence for it but i feel like everything I've said and done the past few days has been awful and wrong and mistakes ough #it will be okay fjfkdl it will pass eventually like it always does shfkdl it is just a matter of coping thru it and how long it'll last #sorry for a weird vent for this blog dnfkdl im just panicking a little for no apparent reason fjdksl #vent // #dandy.cmd

[invinciblerodent]

I think I really don't like how Florrick accosts you if you free her before speaking to Mizora about Ravengard. :/

Like last time, I think I rested as soon as I spoke to Mizora in Wyrm's Rock, made the same choices as this time, and I freed Florrick only after I found the fliers in the city about her impending execution. In that game, I only learned about the book from Ravengard himself, after breaking him out (pretty late in the act), but now, I freed her before I'd have rested after meeting Gortash (I mean, I was there, might as well), and she.... kinda just tried to ambush me????? Just casually, as I was on my way to Sorcerous Sundries, in broad daylight, with only a cowl to conceal her identity??????

Like....... girl.

Sure, I guess this is another contingency mechanic, just in case the player actually doesn't intend to turn on Gortash, trick Mizora, and save Ravengard, so they won't be cut off completely from this subplot.

But, I mean..... first of all, nice "disguise"??? Yeah, putting on a dirty shoulder-length cowl to conceal a jeweled pussy-gown she always wears and wandering around the city with an entourage as if she isn't a well-known face that's wanted for "treason", that's bound to work lol. A real 18 INT move.

And second, she believed Mizora. MIZORA. That, in my book at least, disqualifies her from ever saying anything even remotely critical of my girl's decision-making, lol. As far as Florrick's concerned from this point forward, Iona is to be considered automatically right in everything she ever says, for she is clearly the woman with the superior decision-making skills here. (And knowing her track record, that's every bit the insult it sounds like.)

Third of all, Florrick believed Mizora specifically when she said that Wyll is a power-hungry fledgling tyrant, and seeking to put his father out of commission in order to take the duchy for himself. Without thinking about how fucking absurd that is, in light of uuuuuhhhhhhhh everything she has ever known about Wyll. Did she seriously not think for even half a second. Does she pay this little attention. He was right there when we snuck her out. He put the faith back into her. She saw how worried he was for his father. Come off it, girl. Please.

With how highly he speaks of her, how unshakable he was in his belief of her trustworthiness, I'm halfway tempted to reload my save and put him in the party, just so his opinion of her can be lowered to the appropriate level in full HD.

(Not to mention that this kinda fucks up the pacing too, because ordinarily, you likely wouldn't reach the prison and Ravengard for quite some time yet? Like that quest is.... quite low down on the list of priorities, all things considered. You reach the thing through an unmarked sidequest, basically, and I liked learning about Ansur quite late. This way, it's like.... oh, cool, I.... guess there's that then. Should I, like, bother with anything else, or can I just. Go home, or whatever. Because I guess this is the main thing then???? If we plan to sic a dragon on the brain, that's an infinitely better plan than doing it ourselves???? Tell me again why I should bother????? :/)

#this.... got away from me kinda #squirrel plays bg3 #anyway lost a lot of respect for Florrick's character today #excuse the ranting #but it always bothers me if someone has an unjustly low opinion of Wyll and that apparently extends to characters in the game as well #with how blindly he trusts her it must be a real slap in the face for her to show his this little trust herself #a real asshole move on her part to not even question the CAMBION #YEAH TRUST THE FIEND THAT'LL WORK #what a dumbass

I do honestly believe that all communication ever would be vastly improved if everyone on earth internalized and understood that the the whole thing is a series of back and forth interpretation of words with a collectively understood haze of potential meanings wildly dependent on context, speaker, and audience, even for even the most basic of sentences.

Like I can say "I like cats" but the degree of intensity to which i like them is just something you're inferring based on prior context (also interpreted) and how my tone is read. I could be sincere, or totally sarcastic, or maybe cat is slang for something else—miscommunication happens because everything is up for grabs, and communication is not an objective science.

It's a fast-paced guessing game played by all.

#hope.txt #i think a lot of people refuse to accept this notion at all #and i think different group that has accepted this in theory struggles with it in practice #because you'll see posts defended with statements like 'the meaning was totally obvious and readily apparent' kickstarting tedious argument #and if that were true then you wouldnt be having this conversation would you? #maybe its obvious to you #and many like you or closer to you #but thats not the same as objective meaning #this shit is always on my mind because you cant escape it #analysts love arguing objectively #leftist discourse is people with different backgrounds and experiences condemning the other party for not intuiting minutiae no one said #all discourse is that actually conservatives have terrible opinions that should not be treated as valid but the arguments themselves? #its just talking over one another as if the other person should just be on the same page already and is deliberately being obtuse #because 'its obvious isnt it?' #but if it was obvious you wouldnt be arguing with a rando online would you? #like yes obviously there are disingenuous grifters and liars in this world #people can be full of shit and act in bad faith #but it very much bothers me that the default is assuming bad faith when you disagree with something #i hate the assumption that everyone who says something different is a conman or an abuser #i cannot stand how insular and close minded how PRESUMPTIVE all dialogue has become #i am guilty of this myself at times truly but #but it feels like everyone thinks they are a mindreader of others given the divine power to know objective meaning of words #and you are not #you are not at all #no one is #give up on the fantasy of objective meaning it is not real

Actually here's a true example of where it's like bro you have the moral backbone of wet putty

He got banned in destiny 2 and he thought it was unjust, and I forget the details, but I was inclined to agree

He swore a blood feud with them, he'd never play again... then like a week later he rebought every last bit of content for it, and like was playing it last night complaining that he didn't think this latest season had much content... but my man... you're still playing it and giving them money... despite the fact you're not enjoying it and also the fact you said you'd never buy it again

I don't think you really get to say "well if a game's good people'll play it no matter what", cause you're just the Spider's Georg of playing every game even if it sucks ass

#decent person but like... no fucking sense and a super edgy side #I both like him well enough; like he's the only person who actually helped me move; but also this is why I often limit how much we talk #...actually legit a lot of it is the more weed he smokes the more dr dumbass comes out #cause I was gonna say you can have some pretty good conversations with him... #but then I realized almost all of those times were when he was trying to quit smoking weed #I like stoners well enough; and there's plenty of people who weed doesn't really change them up that much #but man are their some people where it just brings out their dumbass side a lot #though also like this guy has smoked so much that he often does stuff like dabs because a bowl just doesn't even really get him high #and this is what I mean; like he's both very smart because he'll be talking about like the butane used with dabs being bad for you #as he's doing exactly what he's saying is a bad idea #and he's not the kind of stoner who just kind of becomes a lump when he's high; which I've known some (who also smoked nonstop) #(like literally when he was home he never was without a loaded bowl and he'd hit it pretty much any chance he got; literally) #so this guy; he stays coherent... but the more I think about it the more I realize his dipshit side is strongly correlated with being high #to armchair psychoanalyze; he apparently get beat up in school a lot when he was younger #so he kind of developed his 'I'll fuck with anything' side to his personality #which I think is where a lot of his stupid edgy humor is from #and I think that side is who comes out when he's high #...doesn't matter #he's a decent person; but he's also a fucking moron and it's like man... shut you idiot mouth and just play your stupid shit #you think that ai generated 'what if futurama was an 80's movie' is super cool; you don't get opinions

Third times the charm? I hope? I finished season 3 and I am on to season 4. I feel conflicted about season 3. I liked the season overall and it was nice to see a familiar face (Wrench, My Beloved) but it felt very bittersweet? The ending especially, though I feel that is intentional. - joe keery anon 🎱

WRENCH <3333 think i stood up n whooped when i saw him hehe.

that's fair! i recall really liking the last few eps of s3, but tbh wasn't a fan of how it gets there. and yeah bittersweet is a good way to put it.. my biggest issue iirc was just how linear everything felt for a show that usually has so much fun with characters (esp secondary chars) and coincidence and lateral consequences. and for me, a lot of the catharsis comes from the weird n roundabout ways an inevitability plays out bc there's cultural subtext/humour/self-fulfillment/etc. but yeah... i think i get what you mean anon!

i don't think it helped that noah hawley was developing fargo s3 and legion s1 at the same time(ish???) so i imagine a lot of the weird plotting and focus on certain characters came as a result of more co-writing. but that's just my theory 😬

super curious to hear what you'll think of s4!! i know it's generally considered the weakest of all the seasons, but imo it's the most confident stylistically. and also ben whishaw and jessie buckley are some of my favourite working actors today so.. :3

#wasn't a huge fan of varga at all which is.. an unpopular opinion. but a character with too many plots and schemes and enough power #to see those plans through just.. doesn't fit into what i like from the show. idk. which ig serves the ending. #sorry lol. guy who hasn't seen the show in three years and who tbh doesn't remember much has LOTS to say apparently. #hehe thanks for sending this three times anon i DO love to think abt fargo <3 #38? #asks #🎱
