#because I saw it being built

Okay but like. Two things about the volume 8 statue [redacted] chapter.

Firstly. By god no amount of "yeah it was unhinged" comments on this website prepared me for whatever the fuck that was. I need at least 5 business days to process.

Second, was I the only one who read that scene as:

Hua Cheng, teeming with self-satisfaction to see Mu Qing near writhing with scorned disgust and fury: this was a 100% successful trip

Xie Lian: our statues are fucking in Mu Qing's palace oh god oh fuck what do you m e a n successful

Hua Cheng, smirk getting even bigger: this was a 100% successful trip

#tgcf #volume 8 spoilers #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #mu qing #hua cheng really out here like 'it's called christening the heavens with our love which is more than you lot deserve.' #nothing could have prepared me for how that scene played out #hua cheng how does it feel to win every single day of your deceased life #mf thought he was going to be humiliated in front of his lifelong crush/sworn love #only to instead watch one of his love rivals tangentially humiliated by XL's (hualian POST-COITAL) overwhelming spiritual power no less #I have never witnessed a bigger W in my life holy shit the way that boomeranged #I just can't get over how funnily hc's built I swear to god it ends me every time #mfer was born and literally nobody liked that. baby boy suffers for most of his life #fast forward to ghost hc. master of cataclysmic power and protecting his loving failwife (who is basically full of aged weird girl energy) #said weird girl energy being hc's salvation because xl saw him feral and unhinged and legit went 'i like him i'll let him tear up the couch #for 800 y e a r s hc pined and nourished his love--waiting for his opportunity #thusly leaving every single one of his competitors for xl's attention in the dust (not that they were much to write home about) #hc is like the definition of 'bide your time and fucking destroy' #i don't care what anyone says he's legitimately one of the coolest characters i've ever seen #i also can't get over hua cheng straight up being like 'xl in distress? we all know who this is a job for. M E' **builds hc statue** #without an ounce of hesitation #the way i love this mfer he's so sweet and so funny at the same time nobody doing it like him #i also love mxtx's passion for the dynamic of “GET RID OF HIM HE'S A MENACE” “no he just needs enrichment let him be" #why bingqiu and hualian will live forever in my heart

Fundamentally, a lot of self-described "progressives," "liberals," "leftists" &c. believe that white supremacy and fascism and Naziism are icky scary ideas to be disavowed or vaguely countered (largely by pointing out logical inconsistencies in those ideas). They don't understand or believe that white supremacists are actual people with whom they could potentially be interacting online or in-person. They don't recognise white supremacist dog whistles, they don't recognise baseline obvious white supremacist rhetoric, they will see someone online spouting obvious white supremacist rhetoric and believe that said person is joking or being sarcastic.

Their idea of progressivism is inherently social—our social circle of the educated anti-racist élite are obviously against that sort of thing. The logical inverse also seems to apply—if someone is socially interacting with them, that person (by virtue of that social interaction) must belong to said circle of the educated anti-racist progressive élite. Their social circle is their politics. They have no understanding of fascism as anything dangerous, anything real, anything that must be seriously intellectually or physically countered. Probably this applies to a lot of self-identified "communists" too.

#like I saw a normal liberal patriot--the kind to call Trump a racist and fascist and call for the U.S. to get back to its core #'democratic values'--laugh along with a literal white supremacist fascist who stated that a U.S.-Mexico wall should be built #higher and with spikes and barbed wire &c. #apparently because they thought that said white supremacist fascist was being sarcastic!!!!!!!!!!! #mine

It sucks to be isolated from the whole society from childhood almost all my life because of my parents and mental disorders, because I never learned how to integrate into modern society. And at any of my enthusiastic reactions or memories of an enthusiastic reaction from childhood, everyone starts laughing, because these things are something that has always been commonplace for them.

#like I don't care that for you a touch screen phone has always been something ordinary. /nbh #I had a large landline phone for half of my childhood and I only saw any other phones in pictures in magazines. #Like. I was a kid. OF COURSE I was delighted with some nokia lumia with its design because it seemed unusual to me. #I'm so fucking tired that even my friends always joke about me saying that I'm a village or from a cave. #No. we just didn't have money for anything and my father built huge walls between me with him and the rest of the world. #I know I'm a whole joke with all this lack of knowledge. why do I keep being reminded of this. #vncrd talks

buddie would be the most domestic, adorable, seems-like-theyre -already-married, couple ever.

we know this.

but i also want buck being treated well by people he hasnt known for a long time and hasnt had time to build a relationship with yknow?

he'd expect to be treated well by eddie because theyve been best friends (and coparents) for years

but hes always made himself smaller in every other relationship, and waited for them to leave him, never felt secure or even particularly cared for, because he never feels good enough.

what im saying is, is that i need tommy to sweep this man off his feet, cuddle him, take him on nice dates, make him laugh and show him what its like to be cared for and cherished because he deserves it, and because he is Enough, and just show him what a relationship should be because i dont think he knows dlrhsirjfieidi

#i feel like thats needed #which is why im loving tommy calling him evan #because hes built buck as a safe space where he can pretend hes fine and stromg and untouchable #but evan never felt safe or cared for #plus other than eddie calling him that once its only been maddie who knew him before and after he stopped seeing himself as evan #and she always saw him and took care of him and loved him anyway #the other people who called him evan are his parents which are the reason he hates the name tbh #it was jarring at first to see tommy calling him evan but honestly it makes sense #because buck has neglected evan for a long time by hiding behind buck #hes realised being buck is enough so now its time for evan to be enough #also i want tommy to love this man please #i also want buddie but i want buck being in a kind relationship with no pressure first #because there will be a lot of adjustment and change for them both if buddie goes canon #let him be safe and queer and loved please and thankyou #also tommy is great and i want him to stay pleasseeeeee #evan buck buckley #tommy kinard #bucktommy

Heard we’re doing hermitcitizens? Have a this guy! Nobody told them the flash was on

I figured an allay fairy godmothering itself into a guy was the kind of fun magical nonsense explanation Hermitcraft tends to go for! They won’t deliver things for you but they DO love cookies (thanks for the excuse to post sona, @ink-ghoul!)

#hermitcitizen #hermitsona #sketchbook #sona #suspiciously familiar hair and cloak won over Big Gerbil lol #i dont like self insert stuff usually but the idea of just. populating this massive world the Hermits have built #honestly fits the energy of it really well! #i saw some folks wanted to have their sonas interact and id be down for that :3 #if you leave creeper holes the interaction will be them coming to your house with an axe #their job is because i always have the compulsion to make like. roads and public buildings and fix things up. so #i have so many pointless details and i will never stop being like this #anyways! i like fun trend :]

I pull out so many random facts about the making of Lord of the Rings that people usually respond with, 'how do you even know that?!'

oh, friend.

my brother, a most pretentious lotr fan, snatched up the extended edition hot off the shelf and for weeks it was the only thing on the tv all day long. I've seen every commentary, every special feature . . . twice. maybe more. I didn't have a choice.

#a butterfly obsesses #I've forgotten so much but still #maybe I just don't hang out with nerdy enough people and the rest of you know all this but: #billy boyd every time Minas Tirith is on the screen: I love Minas Tirith #Dominic Monaghan: shut. up. #sean austin forgot to put his waistcoat on for the scene where they all say farewell to frodo so they had to reshoot the whole thing #everybody had to cry again. but the second recording ended up blurry and they had to reshoot a 3rd time. nobody was happy with sean #when sam shows up to fight shelob his hand and sheathed sword appear first like the start of a duel in a western #that's actually peter jackson's hand #sean austin could 'see' shelob when they were filming those scenes. he could very vividly imagine her. #after he saw some cgi test footage of her he lost the ability to imagine her and had to work to get it back #dominic or billy I forget but one stole a skull from the scenes with the army of the dead #after pirates of the Caribbean came out they had to change the design for the army of the dead because the ghost designs were too similar #they built a huge dead Oliphaunt for the battlefield (peter wanted it to be bigger tho) #the people linking up plastic rings for the chain mail wore away their fingerprints on their pointer fingers and thumbs #they basically thawed a frozen stream so andy serkis could dive in and chase a fish in the ice-cold water #I want to say it was billy boyd who had to get a dental procedure done and opted to do with without being numbed #because he had to shoot a scene right after. however he sweated so much his hobbit feet came off #by the time they were put back on the medication would have worn off anyway #viggo mortensen got part of a front tooth chipped off and wanted to finish the scene before having it fixed but they forced him to go #when auditioning horses for the scene the horse kneels down to let the wounded aragorn get on a horse was disqualified for sit on the dummy #the HUGE ring they used for perspective shots

I don’t think I will ever get over how the Batman Beyond Rebirth series treated/used Matt McGinnis during its run. Ever.

Cause one of the main reasons I dove into reading the rebirth series was to read about how Matt became Robin and what his time was like. And having read and finishing the entire run like a year ago it STILL upsets me how they set him up to be Robin, stressing that he is essential to Terry’s batman and to his success, only to rip it away ten issues later b/c “they didn’t want to bring in another child into the mission”.

Acting as if they hadn’t dragged Matt through the ordeal of being sidelined to helplessly watch losing his brother MULTIPLE times both before and after he was Robin. Like what was the whole point of that set up if they were just gonna rip it away?? Explain it to me, b/c I can’t find a damn reason.

#I’m surprised I have yet to share my anger about the rebirth run on this site yet but here we are #I srsly will never get over it #because they had a chance to expand the batfam/bat team for the beyond universe but they didn’t #instead they build it up then take it apart because why the hell not #terry mcginnis is the only one to matter here and anyone else can fuck right off #there could’ve been an introspective into what it is like to step into a legacy role that has been built for DECADES #and learning how to you’re gonna fit into it and how you will define it vs your predecessors #but dc are cowards and won’t do that #I can talk about this for ages but cMON #dc comics #dc #batman beyond #batman #robin #batman and robin #matt mcginnis #terry mcginnis #what sparked this on was because I looked into some of the stuff in the n52 and briefly saw how Matt was being handled there #bro literally cannot stop being sidelined and losing his brother I-

thought about my old house for more than two seconds and almost cried so i did the smart thing and looked at the pictures of it on rightmove to see how the new owners (they have lived there since 2015) have completely ruined it (they redecorated) to the point it's unrecognisable (got an extension) and im literally ugly sobbing about it. they let my mother's garden die

#YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THERE USED TO BE CONIFERS THERE AND I REMEMBER CLIMBING SO FAR UP THEM #AND MY GRANDAD SEEING ME THROUGH THE BRANCHES AND SMILING AT ME AND SAYING 'HELLO' SO SOFTLY #BACK WHEN HE WAS NICE AND I REMEMBER THERE'S A BACK ALLEY BEHIND ALL THE GARDENS ON THE STREET #THAT YOU CANT SEE IN THE PHOTOS AND ME AND THE TWO BOYS NEAR ME USED TO SPEND HOURS AND HOURS #RUNNING ABOUT AND GETTING DIRTY AND BREAKING INTO THE NEIGHBOURS' GARDENS AND GETTING IN TROUBLE #AND NOW ONE IS IN A MILITARY SCHOOL BECAUSE HIS PARENTS GREW SCARED OF HIM #AND THE OTHER GOT INVOLVED IN GANGS AND GOT CAUGHT WITH A KNIFE IN SCHOOL BUT I SAW HIM AT THE LOCAL A FEW MONTHS AGO #AND HE'S STILL ONE OF THE SOFTEST BOYS IVE EVER MET AND HE SMILED AND SAID HE WAS GLAD I WAS DOING WELL #AND I REMEMBER RUNNING UP THE STAIRS WHEN MY MUM WAS ANGRY AND I REMEMBER RUNNING DOWN THE DRIVE #WHEN MY DAD CAME HOME AND I REMEMBER MY OLD DOG AND HOW MY MUM EXPLAINED THE NAMES BEHIND EVERY ROSE #I REMEMBER BEING SCARED OF THE CELLAR AND I REMEMBER LEARNING TO PLAIT MY OWN HAIR ON THE STAIRS #BECAUSE MY SISTER REFUSED TO TEACH ME AND I REMEMBER HOW COLD THE ATTIC WAS #I REMEMBER SLEEPING IN MY MUM'S BED AND I REMEMBER THE CAT DYING #I REMEMBER CLOSING MY EYES SO TIGHTLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT ID SEE SANTA AND THAT MEANT HE WOULDNT COME #I REMEMBER CRYING IN THE BATHROOM WHEN MY SISTER TOLD ME THE EASTER BUNNY WASNT REAL #I REMEMBER MY MUM BRUSHING MY HAIR IN THE KITCHEN BEFORE SCHOOL AND I REMEMBER HOW WE PAINTED THE WALLS #THAT'S MY HOUSE IT'S BUILT FROM ME AND NOW I CANT EVEN RECOGNISE IT #THAT WAS THE LAST PLACE I WAS TRULY HAPPY NOTHING BAD HAD EVER HAPPENED TO ME #AND NOW IT'S FOREIGN TO ME #im about to start dry-heaving this is evil and sick and twisted childhood homes come with their own ache i think #hella goes home #<- not quite but v much fits that tag

I think I'm gonna come out to my family this weekend because frankly I just can't wait anymore and yes this might. irreparably destroy my relationship with my mother but it's ok. I pre-grieved so essentially I'll be unharmed

#we saw how well that worked for roman roy but rip to him because im built different #me #trans #i just need to remember i am an adult who knows what they want and im completely independent #and i warned a friend too that i think im going to do it so hes on standby to hang out with me #just in case it goes horribly and i dont want to be alone LOL #i keep waiting for a time when it will be less dreadful. but it will never stop being dreadful. the longer i wait the more it hurts me

idk if this is a controversial take or not, but like, if something is a lesser known hike or spot in nature where not a lot of people go, and you know about it and decide to share it on social media. don’t do that.

I’ve seen hikes I went on as a kid that used to be gorgeous natural places be ruined by this. there’s a literal metal staircase on a hike that I went on as a child now. I used to want to go again, I don’t anymore.

I get that a lot of people want to see beautiful things, but there are so many beautiful things that are already well known. there’s a process to this. if you fall in love with these kinds of things, you’ll get there eventually. but it doesn’t need to be advertised. it ruins the beauty and uniqueness of the place.

#parker talks #i saw a video of someone telling people to do a hike that’s connected to a canyon I did a couple years ago #it’s gorgeous #but out of the way and the only reason I went #is because my dad has learned the landscape and the spots by being in them #for years #you don’t need to know about those things #there’s gorgeous places that are built for tourism #we don’t need to bring the tourism anywhere else

idk if any of yall remember this project i posted abt it a while ago but im building a monochrome minecraft city and this is the latest addition

#it is EXACTLY one block taller than both wtc (pre 2001) #I had to do it #because the irony of an arab building style being taller than the symbol of america and the west is so funny to me #i say arab style its literally just the ziggurat type structure and to some extent the shape of the arches #this is a heavily modified version of one painting i saw a while ago of the tower of babel #because i had really liked what happened to the stairs so i took that and made it my own #and tbh? this is one kf the best towers in the entire citt #it may not be the tallest but i love it #it takes up two whole blocks the road had to go through the base #i also pushed the limits of worldedit cus i wanted to raise everything above the first platform up because i hadnt built it right #which was allegedly 6000+ blocks #minecraft #city #ziggurat #its 61 by 61 blocks at the base too #wouldve done 64 by 64 but 2 block centers are my enemy #tho i did just realise theres no main leading ramp like in the ziggurat of ur that was supposed to be in the building plans #guess i forgot

had the pleasure of commissioning @retroautomaton to draw Bob and the Shadow Stag and it turned out great!! couldn’t be happier with it :]

#Psy's no punctuation posts #mother tag #bob #shadow stag #beau rudolph #save #i highly recommend commissioning this artist if you can 👍 #i dare not put this in the Mother 3 tag because nobody is going to understand what the fuck this image is GRKFH #i don't think most people remember Bob is a character anyways #and the stag is my creation so... #-commissions art that desapite being fandom based is so hyper specific to me that nobody else will get it- #that's the joy of commissions. i love paying people to draw shit like this lol #so yeah :] very cool #i love his outfit too. i saw those boots on my dash the other day n built an outfit around it for him #a good ol sky based outfit #it's all just very nice #also funny to imagine Jonel coping and seething about Bob being buddies with the stag when it ignores him all the time lol #dude's just vibin. he doesn't even do anything special it's just him being a genuinely nice person n being rewarded for it lol

it's almost like the only option is dividing things further black and white then just going hardcore to an extreme.

like.

i spent all day yesterday cutting off friends and blogs of people i love in my native community because of the excessive call for violence as the answer to decolonization, maintaining nuance but only for one side and saying fuck all to everything and everyone else.

but then today.

the number of jewish friends and blogs i've had to unfollow because people are doubling down on "hamas bombed a fucking hospital" when there's clear evidence that isn't true and it's propaganda to perpetuate cycles of violence?

fucking horrifying.

#like as someone from a native background and someone working to convert it's just #heartbreaking and frustrating to feel absolutely abandoned by both sides #simply because pointing out israel is built on a settler-colonial stance even if jewish people aren't settlers and colonizers #because they are indigenous to the area #gets me beat to the ground in native circles because it means i support netanyahu and gver and genocide #and i get the same fucking condescending look of 'you shouldnt talk' from liberal jewish groups that are all for saying zionism is a diseas #and yes they agree as jewish people that they are white and israel is white supremacist like #like i'm sorry the fucking whiplash of what the absolute fuck #but then pointing out that palestinians are being mass murdered and their response is clearly understandable #and israel is purposely using this shit to perpetuate genocide #all of a sudden i'm a fucking hypocrite to both sides #and my poor fucking husband is standing here like 'yes thats what you get for being clearly aware and wanting nonviolence' #how dare i not stand solely with israel #how dare i not demand only free palestine #people are just so fucking toxic and caught up in their own opinions being the only opinions and nuance being a fucking crime for condemnin #as if talking about this shit does anything! people are dying on both sides - one clearly more than the other - and what #you truly think attacking people that aren't specifically nodding along in blind support is really the thing that'll change the world #also saw a thing today that was like “being an ally means i will fight for you” like fuck that #but that's a different thing anyway #anyway i hate both my communities and feel absolutely isolated from them and wow #community just really isn't a thing unless you're ride or die without speaking up about anything huh

#just saw some of my old bullies in church #they used to make fun of me all the time when i was younger #and i swear to god every little bit of self confidence that i built in the last 8 years leaves my body every time i see them #i don't see them very often because i don't go to church anymore #but today is christmas and i know it makes my dad happy so i decided to go with my parents #and when i saw them i felt this 🤏 small #i fucking hate this #the fact that everyone made fun of me when i was a teenager is so fucked up #i wasn't safe anywhere #i was bullied in school in church and even my grandpa my uncle and my cousin constantly made awful comments about my body #these people ruined my life #sorry for being so negative on christmas but seeing those guys just made me feel like i'm 16 again #anyway it was a good day up until that point #i ​spent a lot of time with my family and it was lovely #merry christmas everyone #i need to go to sleep lol
