#BUT LIKE

[glorious-spoon]

okay, i know we are going to rightfully make fun of buck until the end of time for that 'ally' thing, but in all seriousness i don't actually think he's trying to pretend that he's not attracted to (a) men or (b) tommy, specifically. like, he kissed the guy and agreed to go on a date with him; he's kind of a himbo but he's not actually stupid.

i think he's trying (clumsily!) to articulate that he doesn't feel like he's allowed to treat this as a big deal, because he's always been an ally, he's always been fine with it when it was other people, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it at all, so there's no reason for him to feel so anxious.

but he does anyway.

#911 #evan buckley #to maddie he's like 'obviously the fact that my date was with a guy is a complete non-issue that has no bearing on why i acted like that' #i'm glad she called him on it #but like #he keeps calling himself an ally but at no point does he claim to be straight

hey, it’s me. just here to remind everyone that mickey milkovich is actually so smart and he has never been stupid and the writers painting him out to be this clueless idiot the past two seasons was simply a personal attack on me

#i understand different takes too #like oh he’s just finally let his guard down #which i get #but like #i’m sorry i can’t agree #mickey milkovich

This is actually the worst Mob Psycho 100 take I've ever seen I think

Did we,, watch the same show

#i don't think mob is boring but that's personal preference #but like #the first person entirely missed the point of the show #and you might say i'm overreacting #but the original post was about finding the worst anime mc #yikes #mp100

yknow one favour that the neath really does do the church is ease of canonisation. usually you need two confirmed miracles to become a saint after your death, but in the neath there are so many options. miracles happen on a daily basis. if they get bored they can just write "returned from death x2" and boom, saint

#i would have been like 'hey church-aligned players' #'what are your miracles?' #but like #there aren't any #(this is a joke i know there are some of us) #fallen london

My personal ranking of Life Series seasons (not including Real Life) from best to worst

(Keep in mind these are my opinions, if you disagree that’s fine.)

1. Last Life. Literally peak life series, so chaotic, the life giving mechanic + the random live numbers made this so interesting & the boogeyman was the perfect extra ingredient. Perfect season, 10/10

2. 3rd. Great start to the series & it’s also got the perfect rule set for a season 1, it’s simple enough where it can be built upon easily in so many different ways, also just a really fun season, 8/10

3. Secret Life. I love the no regen mechanic, made it so much more stressful to see someone take damage, also the tasks made it so funny because you never really know what anyones motives are for anything unless you watch their pov. Mounders for life! 7/10

4. Double Life. A good season, but not exceptional, I think all the pairings are perfect, the Pearl-Scott-Cleo-Martyn situation was so fun & it gave us boat boys. The mechanic was cool but the season was really short because of it which kinda drags it down for me a little, still a great season tho, 6/10

5. Limited Life. Some of my favourite factions came from this season (cough cough bad boys) but the way the season played out wasn’t my favourite & that’s because of the mechanic. The time system was a good idea but I didn’t like how chaotic is made the season, it wasn’t like Last Life chaos where you never knew what to expect, but just a blur of chaos with how frequently people died & most of the time it was to tnt minecarts, show me any clip of any group of people getting a kill from Limited Life & I wouldn’t be able to tell you which session that came from, whereas show me any death from Last Life & it’ll stand out as a unique death that I could probably tell you the session of origin with 80% accuracy. It just got stale really quickly because of how meaningless death really was this season

#might get burnt alive for this #but like #opinions people #trafficblr #traffic smp #life series #3rd life #last life #double life #limited life #secret life

Honoosuto in a nutshell :

#Inazuma Eleven #honosuto #gouenji shuuya #Every. Fucking. Chapter. #(Idk if he really has undiagnosed autism but after reading this manga we can safely say Gouenji is not normal in his head) #If you ask #Honosuto is a spinoff manga about Gouenji #but like #In his everyday life #No side plot #This manga is the pinacle of shutting tf up the “Gouenji wouldn't do this he's too cool for that” mfs #(No hate for those mfs but they are wrong and this is canon) #Gouenji is a dumbass in this manga but it doesn't really contradict the main series #I made “honest reviews” about so of these chapters #Go read them

me, very impassioned: it’s important that friendships in media are allowed to be friendships!! That platonic devotion is portrayed and respected in media!!! It’s important that men specifically are portrayed as leaning on one another emotionally, because they are discouraged from doing that irl and it puts immense strain on their romantic relationships!!!!!

also me: That right there 👉👉 *points at “I’m with you till the end of the line”/“kinda hard to find someone with shared life experience” Steven G Rogers and “but I knew him”/“I’m following that skinny kid from Brooklyn” James Buchanan Barnes* that is the fruitiest pair of ‘straight’’ Men I’ve ever seen, if you see my meaning. Neither of those men are rolling cube dice, if you catch my drift. They’re wearing very sensible shoes, the both of them, if you will.

#Marvel #stucky #steve rogers #bucky barnes #look I’m not Wrong ok #I personally prefer their relationship platonic in fic #But like #that doesn’t mean I think it can really be read that way in canon #Like literally the canon makes it difficult to watch them be ‘just friends’ and buy it tbh #Endgame was the most painfully shoehorned ending to SR’s character #And I’m still mad about it #And a huge part of that was a lack of resolution with his and bucky’s relationship #platonic or otherwise

I love how Percy is genuinely like wtf when Luke says Annabeth - who’s twelve - is head counsellor so he’s under the impression that annabeth is ridiculously powerful when in reality her older cabin mates just wanted to spend their time coming up with ways to hack the government instead of assigning cabin chores

#obviously annabeth is powerful #but like #she’s twelve #it’s funny #pjo #percy jackson #heroes of olympus #pjo funny #annabeth chase #pjo headcanons #percabeth #jason grace #piper mclean #sally jackson #luke castellon #pjo tv show #pjo disney plus #pjo disney spoilers #just in case #pjo disney #luke castellen

we need to talk about the fact that for many of the posters in season one, they are literally on opposite sides and/or have a dividing line between them

and now they're literally crossed over in some way for the season 2 posters

THEY'RE LITERALLY ON THEIR OWN SIDE NOW, PEOPLE!

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #losing my mind again #yeah uh #can we fucking talk about the crossing of established boundaries as a narrative device? #yes i know it's obvious #but like #LOOK

“how many guys do you have on your roster, huh?”

“including you? four.”

“i’m gonna have you cummin’ on my cock, screamin’ my name and we’ll see if you still want those guys after the fourth time.”

To me, the best embodiment of modern capitalism is in the phrase "please hold, we are experiencing higher than usual call volume". I know it's a lie. You know it's a lie. But you still hear that line every time you call, regardless of the day or time, because it shifts the blame. It tries to prompt you to blame the other callers instead of asking, "Hey, why are they deliberately understaffing their call centers and making it so difficult to get help?" It takes a failing caused by a deliberate, profit-focused management choice, and turns it into a problem with the people using the system, rather than one with the system itself. And that pattern, to me, is the epitome of the modern corporate system.

#today in reliabledragon complains about call centers #I know this isn't that deep or anything #but like #this wording is a choice #and this pattern just shows up in so many places #it's infuriating #to see how effectively systems can shift the blame for their failures onto the actions of the people participating in them #anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk #my posts

"the curtains weren't blue on purpose. why should we care?"

my love! let me ask you this - did you eat breakfast today? this tiny moment in your life. just think about it. did you?

for some of you, the answer is yes and for some of you it is technically and for some of you it is does coffee count. some of you reached for cereal or gmo-free overnight oats or frozen waffles or 3-day-old pizza. sometimes we eat the same thing, every day, for weeks. i get tired of eggs randomly, only to go back to craving them desperately. i'm cuban; i take my coffee like my father showed me, very milky and sweet.

some of us ate in a hurry. some of us hate eating breakfast but if we don't we will get nauseous later. some of us took our meds first or took our meds after. some of us have a kitchen 5 feet wide and sometimes it's the biggest room in the house. some of us are confident there will be food in the pantry and some of us flinch and say well, the paycheck is coming. some of us turn on a podcast while we eat or we scroll our phones or write in our diaries.

some of us are choosing, specifically, not to eat breakfast. some of us are too busy. some of us are pretending we "just forgot," but we are ignoring the warning signs that everything feels too-heavy. some of us are so consumed with anxiety or grief that we can't eat. some of us can't stand up long enough to make our coffee. some of us have no table to sit down and eat.

i cannot tell you what an artist "meant" by their choices. but they did have to make a choice, conscious or otherwise, to give you information. to give you a little bit more light. each of these choices are little stars of data; connecting speckles for you to weave through, drawing a line.

you cannot use a mirror in a dark room. for some of us; we will not care that the curtains are blue, because that will just be a data point and not enough light to see by. for some of us, the blue curtains will be the same as our childhood bedroom. it will make us seasick. for some of us, blue will be the color of frostbite. it might look like a pixel up close; but from a distance, oh! the picture blooms.

i cannot tell you what will stick out for you. what will carry meaning. some of you will read the sentence "i didn't have breakfast today" and say "this means nothing." some of you will read that and say "oh, me neither." some of you will say "this means the character is probably a little grouchy." some of you will say "oh, i wonder if they're okay. why didn't they eat anything?" ... art is a mirror. i am holding hands with you, over space and time, and asking you to feel something with me.

i want you to read my work and find a blue pair of curtains. i want you to read my work and find things in it that i never imagined placing. i have no way of knowing what will resonate with you, that's true. and maybe i just was hungry while i wrote this, and thinking about the eggs in my fridge. but if you found meaning, that meaning is yours. it cannot be erased just because i didn't "intend" it. you created a different world by interpreting my work. it's collaborative! that's beautiful! that's stunning!

just! imagine looking at the night sky and saying - it's stupid to have a favorite constellation or a favorite star. they're just there.

because here's the thing - across centuries and cultures, we look up. we still find meaning in the stars. these beautiful, lovely scattered accidents. are you looking? they call. and we look back and say oh! of course we are!

#this got away from me #but like #u know #reading is a form of creation #and sometimes the choice that the author makes might SEEM random #but it's like. bro that's telling u something. #also hate the vibe where authors/artists mock their audience for finding meaning in something #nahhhh #if u make art u need to be okay with people finding their own reflection in it
