i wonder if this site has actually reached critical levels of being annoying lately or if i just haven't been on as much as i used to (especially earlier this year when i left entirely) that now ive snapped out of the feedback loop and can fully see how annoying tumblr culture actually is.

#anyway. bites tongue on the specifics but rants vaguely. #did you win. did you get the unearned sense of superiority while talking abt something you don't understand at all #did you get the validation of just hopping on whatever post sounds angriest and most self righteous instead of what post is actually right. #did u enjoy the complete lack of nuance once it can be convenient for u to be mean to other people as praxis #ugh but there's also fun memes and some people who are not annoying so how can i leave entirely 😔 #avpost #all of this in between posts about being the best website with the best critical thinking and the best nuance.... embarrassing #put ur money where ur mouth is and actually use critical thinking and nuance even when its not convenient to you....

I'm having some thoughts regarding posts I've seen on my dash both recently and like, years ago, bc this is far from a new phenomenon. this isn't @ anyone specific nor am i going to give specific details bc it really is an expansive thing so like. to whoever needs to hear this ig

stop engaging with things in the worst faith reading possible. start giving people the benefit of the doubt i am begging you

9/10 of times, the person you see who might be slightly insensitive, or enjoys content you find harmful, or is using the wrong term for smth, is doing it out of ignorance on the matter

and most of the times it isn't smth they can just google to figure out. bc sometimes you really gotta do mental gymnastics or ignore every redeeming quality of a thing to find the harmful part. and usually unless a person is directly involved in activist circles or knows abt the history of a particular community etc they will never make that connection and I'm sorry to tell you, but that's most people you will encounter, both irl and online

9 times out of 10 there is no malice involved. attacking strangers because you think they are attacking you by doing a very normal thing (like quote a meme or enjoy a movie) isn't the way to gain anything, and you're more likely to cause antagonism in that person

it's good to inform others, but doing it by accusing them of harmful behavior isn't the way

also on a less deep note, you're just gonna become an incredibly unpleasant person to be around if you keep doing that shit. if you keep looking for the bad in everything you see others enjoy, you will keep seeing it. you will become extremely bitter. you gotta give people the benefit of the doubt for your own sanity fr

and before I'm taken out of context: no that doesn't apply to actual bigots (my whole point here is that most ppl just aren't informed and aren't actively hateful). no this isn't me telling you to be nice to your own oppressors so they hate you less. no this isn't me saying you have to let slide media that is genuinely harmful (I'm talking more about the people who consume it who are average and don't hold some secret ill intentions). yes I'm aware a lot of times people ARE bigots and just try to hide it which is why dogwhistles exist, which is exactly why i think it's important to remain informed and inform others so we stop engaging with these people or their content (i just think that doing it in combative ways is bad for everyone involved). ok i think that covered all my bases

tldr just. remember that people are people. and people can make mistakes. and you gotta let them grow from it. and sometimes, you are the one who makes the mistake, by assuming the worst of someone you don't even know

#sorry for the rant 😳 #again not getting into details but. every time there is a big meme i immediately see a post abt why it's actually problematic #and most of the times. you really gotta connect invisible strings to see why #in cases like this i gotta ask myself. does op simply not enjoy this meme and decides to look for whatever's bad abt it to excuse it #the same way ppl hope celebrities they don't like get canceled and such? #like forgive me for the harsh language but you do see that this is deranged behavior right? #and then immediately jumping to the conclusion that anyone who uses it is awful. is even more deranged! #this isn't being a hater anymore girl you gotta try some hobby or even just to enjoy things as they are. for your own well-being 😭 #anyway yeah ok i think i got it out of my system. have a nice day everyone. #also if you wanna argue over this. just block me honestly. spare us both the effort yeah?

If I had a nickel to everytime they made Riddler have a crush on a deaged Batgirl, I would have two nickels, wich isn't much, but it's awfull that it happened twice.

#riddler #batgirl #tom king constant infantilization of barbara #ed weird saphiosexual incel phase during batman's weeding countdown haunts me #that shit gave me PTSD #whatever the fuck DC superhero girls had going with Nygma #like it was waaay better than the nightmare comic #for instance he was deaged too #but it was weird #like no one wanted that #I'm glad they changed it to an homage to Frank Gorshin later #like waaay better way to adapt the riddler #dc superhero girls #that I still like despite it #tom king batman run #that I don't like #cause it keeps infantilizing babs #and also because the whole batman has to be unhappy thing is such a bad take #on the plus side I love to use Doof's meme

[james-stark-the-writer]

the difference between the fourth wall breaks of something like the Deadpool movies compared to something like Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn and She-Hulk: Attorney At Law is that every joke in Deadpool feels masturbatory like the writers think they're so hilarious for doing a fourth wall break like that's never been done before whereas both of the other two not only feel right at home with the characters' personalities but are much more natural and much more well done compared to the jokes in Deadpool or its sequel. (do not get me started on Deadpool 2, the movie sucks ass in basically every way except for the characters of Domino and Yukio. every single joke in it was outdated before it was even written. they were making fucking dubstep jokes in 2018. it was a 2012-ass script made way too late and riding on the coattails of the first with even less effort into being actually good.)

but the difference between those properties is that Deadpool wants to be congratulated for being some insanely crazy shocking movie that's pissing off the studio system or whatever but every single joke in it was approved by those people because it makes them money like it's so antithetical to the entire point they're trying to make and it makes for a very infuriating watching experience sometimes. the cognitive dissonance is hard to swallow with that one. but the way BOPATFEOOHQ and She-Hulk do their bits feels so much more authentic and less self-congratulatory and also just like they're clearly done with so much more passion and effort and care? when I watch either of the Deadpool movies, I feel like I'm watching a bunch of executives jerking themselves off. when I watch the other two, I feel like I'm watching a passion project that the executives clearly didn't give a shit about and thus the creative team were actually allowed genuine creative freedom with not a lot of oversight. that's a little less true with She-Hulk (especially in terms of that glorious finale although even that feels more authentic and artist-driven than most things in either Deadpool movie. Kevin Feige's boring, sanitized ass does not have the range to do that finale) being a MCU property although Phase 4 was so fucking experimental and it was a joy to behold even if not everything hit but it's still true and more authentic for the most part. with Deadpool it feels like the only person who really really cared about it was Ryan and like maybe a few of the other actors who actually did do commendable work with what they were given but with the other two projects, it feels way more collaborative because every single person showed up and cared deeply about what they were making.

(this is an addition to the tags bc I ran out [apparently i forgot there was a 30 tag limit] but. anyway the point is. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is a phenomenal movie in basically every single way and you should watch it.)

#James talks #sorry I just wanna scream about how much I love BOPATFEOOHQ again #the first CBM since 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 that felt more like the voice of artists than the voice of a studio. #I love Shazam but even that felt like it was a little studio driven instead of being a David F. Sandberg movie. #like BOPATFEOOHQ feels artist driven the same way The Batman does and the TASM movies do. #not to derail this tag rant but the TASM movies are Marc Webb movies through and through. #yes they have Sony's grubby hands on them with the product placement and shit but they are inseparable from Marc's vision #they are what Marc cares about more than what the studio cares about. the thematic interests are all Marc Webb. #anyway point is: more art like BOPATFEOOHQ bc it actually cares and less shit like Deadpool that is just pointing and laughing. #Deadpool feels like it's laughing at the concept of superhero media and it's a horrible boring deconstruction of it bc it doesn't get it. #it feels bad to the psyche the same way those meme disney show record scratches do— #like 'my life is kinda crazy' but it's 'ironic' now so it's 'funny'. #'see it's funny bc they're self-aware!' okay but what are they doing by being self aware??? #I'm not saying every piece of art has to be some profound exploration of whatever but Deadpool feels bad to watch in a way the others don't #BOPATFEOOHQ is actually fucking commenting on something using its gags! #the fucking 'they call her... the crossbow killer gag' is actually thematically relevant!! women telling their own stories!! #a subversive joke actually playing into the themes of the project!! imagine that! care ajf effort put into saying something!! #anyway Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn is phenomenal. #genuinely one of the greatest CBMs out there. also just a phenomenal time. even tho Parasite is a better movie overall #— BOPATFEOOHQ was my favorite movie of 2020. #some of the best action around with a great script with amazing pacing and phenomenal acting and a great score and soundtrack!! #literally nothing more to ask for. #one of my usual criteria for evaluating how good a piece of art is how much I'd add to it to help it do what it was trying to do. #like not cutting anything from it unless absolutely absolutely necessary. just adding like maybe 10-15 minutes to the runtime and— #helping maybe a few weaker elements shine more. with BOPATFEOOHQ the only change I'd make is to have more of the characters. #let us see more of Cassandra and Black Canary. more of their inner lives and backstories. #Christina Hodson tells us their stories with great efficiency and it's done really well but visually I'd just like to do more with them. #give them each maybe a 2-3 minute scene with what their daily routine is like. #maybe explore Canary's history with her mother more. see how it ties into the GCPD more effectively. #maybe actually see Cassandra's parents and how she deals with them daily instead of hearing about it from her hiding outside

as someone who knows literally absolutely nothing about warcraft beyond “there’s a guy named deathwing apparently” “everyone is butt-ugly as fuck and the aesthetic seems to be running on a version of anime exaggeration philosophy that has pure testosterone where the cutesy glittery stuff would normally be” “owned by blizzard, i think?” “spreadsheets: the game” “sweaty basement dwellers” “probably a cliche power fantasy trope slop” “jesus christ what is that abomination against character design” “seriously why do all the characters look like that i hate it” “definitely NOT my thing” and “leeroy jenkins”,

and as someone who only found out today that wraithion and sabellian are... people that exist presumably outside of the three cutscenes i saw when youtube saw me watching an unrelated video and decided i want to see EVERYTHING with cutscene in the title,

if wraithion and sabellian can’t share the black dragonflight like good brothers, they should cut every single black dragon in half equally and share the halves.

aka i think the funniest option would be if both of them became king of whatever the fuck is going on and their blatant little-brother-wants-a-turn-on-the-xbox squabbles continued in perpetuity. i don’t know anything about warcraft but i think that would be very funny if that happened.

#never thought i's see the day i would even HAVE anything to say on this franchise much less use this tag but #world of warcraft #question for people who actually care about this franchise. is wraithion always... like that? #wraithion? wrathion? whatever it is #the guy who acts like he's trying to be bargain bin jack sparrow but just kind of sucks #they could also steven universe themselves together into their ultimate form: Sabathtian #aka Black Sabbathion #for the record i don't actually care in the slightest what world of warcraft does much less what world of warcraft does about this #depression-induced showerthoughts #my entire knowledge of these two's existence consists of 3 cutscenes yet this mental image is funny enough #that i'm almost considering checking in the tags to see if there's any mildly amusing memes #we'll see whether my constant depression goes the 'doomscroll mildly funny tags' or 'forget about this in 10 minutes' direction

Finally fought my brain into giving Kiyan just any design to get the accumulated brainrot out onto digital paper

Said brainrot was getting the design more down with just some waiting in rain, chibi-doodle of the one mission we actually know about (giving mental-hello to Adrien for giving us any extra info as well) and letting him just nap in a tree cuz cat

💕 What's your favorite thing about FFVII or surrounding games?

i think cloud is so funny. i really need to play ffvii fully one of these days (perhaps the remake when its done) and i'm not entirely sure the pace or extent to which they reveal this in main game, but going into crisis core with my only knowledge of cloud being "he's the really special cool protagonist guy who has like a soul bond with sephiroth and Has To Defeat Him as like a metaphor for personal demons or like the horrors of what capitalism can create or something" and then finding out he's literally just some guy with every mental illness ever. instantly he became one of my favorite protagonists of anything ever. they really did that! AND he's a drug addict <3

special interest asks

#the fey answers #redsixwing #i mean not willingly right? but addiction is a topic that is near and dear to me #i lived in what many call the heroin capital of the us. at least here idk if other people call us that #but he's just some mentally ill military guy AND hes addicted to drugs? he could be my nextdoor neighbor #also special shoutout to whatever the FUCK was going on with dirge of cerberus they didn't need #to make vincent valentine (goth guy of all time + gender of all time) also be the wife guy of all time. but they did. and it fucks severely #thank you for giving me an excuse to ramble i need to get social interaction in to my brain :) #also you didn't ask this one but i need to say it now in case no one does. my favorite line ff7 adjacent is that edgy ass omega poem thing #i used to have it memorized and wrote it at the bottom of notebook pages and stuff like in late middle early high school #sorry if i went on too much. i WILL do it again :) #doc in particular was very formative for me and no one ever talks about it #which is fair it was not enjoyable gameplay wise #but also i have never enjoyed a shooter #ALSO if you read this far: i noticed you didn't rb the post idk if its bc you aren't autistic or don't want to answer asks #but exchanges are important i suppose i can't send you a thing from this meme but if you want to just send me hcs/facts/whatever #feel free :)

ive spent too much of the weekend reading an old fic series (”old” as if it isn’t still being updated) that i first discovered when i was in highschool and now my brain keeps waxxing poetic about shit

#isn't there magic in the world. don't you see it? #beloved is a word i use a lot but i didn't pull it out of the locket meme when it first wormed into my vocab #beloved in the way that you look at someone and their face makes the room brighter and colors more vibrant #breathe easier and feel in your bones the meaning of 'home is where the heart is' wherein home is not a building nor #physical place but home is with them and you'd follow them wherever they went if only they asked #beloved. beloved beloved beloved <3 #part of the waxxiness could be because there was a wedding this weekend but still. whatever. #also i was sick as a dog last week and kept making pasta with. mmmm i do not talk about my faith often or much or openly. #but potions are soups. soups can be potions there is magic in the world in the winds in the trees and food is the source of love. #love is stored in the soup. #and soup can be pasta. with onion and garlic and assorted spice mixes and an ungodly amount of parsley bc i fuckin love parsely dude #TLDR I'M FUCKING GAY

[storked]

This is such a stupid pet peeve but I see it literally all the time I HATE when people claim that a statement "implies" something and there is absolutely nothing linguistically that actually does imply that thing it's just people using the idea of implicature to defend their own misreading of what was said

#i think this makes no sense but whatever I just woke up #but like implicature is an actual kind of complex linguistic topic i don't expect everyone to just master it #but like I said it just feels like people use it to justify that they read something wrong. idk. sorry #but also that one meme like '[word] implies the existence of [opposite of that word]' No it freaking doesn't You're just saying things.... #i just saw a tweet like that basically said 'lesbians are attracted to women' and some transphobic reply like 'this implies trans women #aren't women' NO IT DOESN'T?

I hate raiders, mostly the hardcore's bc they're just cunts, but whenever they are in tune with looking at the game from a gameplay perspective (not just looking at logs), everything they have to report is shit I can feel even as a casual though I can't explain it as in depth as they can; and I have to agree it feels like the devs have forgotten how to make and balance a game in the last 3 years, as much as most players themselves suck at understanding and playing the fucking game (and how poor the game's learning tools and mentors are as well) since it's seen as a vehicle for story cutscenes or mashing buttons

If the gameplay keeps going dumber across the board that would take away the last legitimate reason I have to play it and surprisingly I don't like the thought of that conversation with myself

#my attitude is like half a toe in the raider mindset and half the toe in casual i can't commit to either bc i dont like either enough #but if you have a brain and have been playing as long as i have or longer its so obv we are downhill rn #Stormblood was the last time the entire game as a game felt engaging for a majority of time #ive been kinda lucky as a DRG main bc they haven't butchered it as much as others but idk how long that will last every patch #and the healing situation the last 3 years is fucking ground zero Chernobyl elephant's foot #anyone who had / has followed me long enough knew / knows i already feel this game sucks but if you make the Game part worse #then it'll Fucking Suck in a way where i don't think i could say I Hate It But I Like It anymore #it feels weird being someone who came in when Stormblood was Brand New bc i was there for all of it when the story sucked not the gameplay #then being here since is like watching the story have a seizure and the gameplay crashes into a fucking cliff outside of a few #DRGs are workhorses so if we go down too w these rework trends idk man... we're traditionally the burst #concerning to me that other classes are also revolving around bursts now plus shittier braindead buttons #homogenization sucks #i will say though im glad the frequency of LOLDRG jokes has gone down these few years bc it was never funny #its been used way too much to target and harass every DRG or if you made even one mistake- got called a lot of slurs & things bc of it #one last thing you may say There's More Than Fighting Here Wtf Are You Bitching About- #the main function of the game IS fighting it has ALWAYS been fighting its the main interface by which you play its why DF & MSQ are tied #combat is integrated into quests into dungeons into raiding into socializing into the MSQ etc whatever isn't fighting is subordinate #so yes if the combat system gets worse then that's a huge chunk of the game now shit- its not a visual novel go play a VN if you want that #now if you say the only reason i still play is bc i wanna eat Yugiri out then- *Squidward running meme*

I think “reclaiming” should be added to the list of words that Tumblr users should be banned from using until they learn to use it right

#saw someone say gay men shouldn't be bothered by being called fruits cause we ''collectively reclaimed it last year'' #or something along those lines #which first of all love saying the WHOLE lgbt community ''collectively'' reclaimed a word #as if there's some sort of high lgbt council that takes a vote on these things and every lgbt person on earth does what they say #and second of all despite what some of you idiots think the word fruit is in fact an insult aimed towards gay men #not lgbt people in general but gay men specifically #and it's one thing when we DO reclaim it ourselves and joke about it #but like 99.9% of the people who've been throwing that term around willy nilly are NOT gay men #and several gay guys including myself have repeatedly made posts expressing why it's annoying only for it to keep happening #so no a bunch of people deciding to say a slur for a meme and ignoring the group that said slur is aimed at when they express discomfort #does not remotely constitute as ''reclaiming'' the slur but less UNIVERSALLY reclaiming it #and i KNOW this all stems from the logic that gay men are super privileged or whatever #and by tumblr logic this means it's okay to constantly use us as the butt of a joke and we're expected to suck it up and laugh along #and i don't fucking care #i do not care what 15 marginalized identities you fall under or what disabilities you have none of that makes it better #if anything it just means you have zero excuse to not fucking know better #i also don't care that fruit is one of the tamer slurs for gay men cause frankly that's not the point #like first of all when did we decide that only the most extreme slurs are bad but anything else is fine #the lesser of two evils is still evil #and second of all like. sure. you COULD be saying faggot instead and you're not #but when you constantly insult us and make fun of us anyway that just tells me that you really WANNA say faggot but don't wanna get canceled #the fruit thing is just ONE example but it's far from the only example #if all your jokes are indistinguishable from the shit the homophobic pricks i went to school with said #then you have some serious reevaluating to do #i will stop making posts about this when you shitheads learn to think about the things you say and the people around you #and if you ever call me a fruit or fairy or whatever in real life you'll get socked in the throat and you WILL deserve it #shut up tristan
