#because i look like an asshole

[mokeonn]

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.

But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

#simon says #i love learning so much and I hate the USA's college debt system #once they make that shit free I will be unstoppable #this topic sprung up because I had the idea that im very academic and annoyingly analytical that I might as well get a degree in it #because without a degree you just seem like an autistic asshole #but with a degree? then you look like a CREDIBLE autistic asshole #don't worry I will still learn but I still want that funky piece of paper to tell everyone I learnt it #also there's some things that are VERY difficult to learn #like I would love to persue this topic further but unfortunately I would need help with that #also before you say 'try taking [blank] classes instead! it's less expensive than a degree!' im broke #my only learning resource is the library sorry about that #also this is not the post to give me unwarranted financial advice #finances are one of the topics I DO NOT care about and I WILL NOT listen to a word you say

he was shocked here. before, he could see his soul coming from miles away, had the time to prepare himself for his presence, to compose himself. this was a surprise.

#i know im beating my skull against the same wall you all have been for the past several years but damn #like just realizing that's the main reason (besides dean being an asshole and tossing him out) why he looked so startled when we normally #see him looking so composed makes me rabid #for the first time we see him genuinely and pleasantly surprised #and it's because of dean #destiel #human castiel #castiel #dean winchester #spn #spn s9

when they said

he said

ladies gentlemen and my non binary pals, once again I am here to remind you why yuji will always be the protagonist and our best boy.

the way it did not even take him 5 secs to recognise her. and he doesn't care. he's just like oh hi <3 I LOVE HIM

#ik it should be the bare minimum but i am so glad gege put this out #he doesn't care. why? because it shouldn't matter. in this weirdass society where everything is about a women's weight how she looks and #talks #it's refreshing to reminded that it doesn't matter. it really doesn't. #normal people don't care. people who like yoi don't care. it's always the assholes and entitled fuckers #anyways #yuji itadori #jujutsu kaisen 2 #jujutsu kaisen #shibuya arc #jjk s2 #2k

BIG DISHONORABLE MENTION FOR THIS WORD CHOICE. Zoro does not call Nami a “scheming woman.” What is with the translators making Zoro into a complete hater towards Nami?? Vivi says she can’t understand what Miss All Sunday is thinking, and Zoro replies “we’ve already got that type of person on this ship.” He never said anything about women at all! If you think of someone on the ship whose thought process is completely incomprehensible…

…HE’S TALKING ABOUT LUFFY.

#one piece #op ch114 #saltey takes on one piece #vivi #nami #zoro #usopp #roronoa zoro #nefertari vivi #dishonorable mention #i am going to bite something #i really think these early translators looked at zoro's character design and were like 'i know what type of character this is' #and just translated all his lines like he was a complete asshole #because that's his 'type' #absolutely infuriating #i don't think any other character gets it so bad

I've been utterly fascinated by Good (better? nicer?) Chase design by @lizard-color4 from this post and desperately wanted to know more. Who's this man? What's his story? Why is his hand bandaged? Why is his fashion taste is so much better than Original Chase? And why the hell does his hug looks so nice??

so i um, decided to explore his design a little ;D

also bonus+ sorta?? continuation / my take on the after hug because i really craved more of that

bonus++ a silly doodle of my first attempt on his design because why not

#xiaolin showdown #chase young #jack spicer #chack #im low key waiting for a fanfic based on og post but so far noone delivered so I made fanart MYSELF HAH #i started drawing these like 3 months ago but got too embarassed by my attempt in drawing someone else's cool design #but didnt want to go into new year with these in my wips so imma just post it why the hell not #Lizard-color your og post was so good i periodically look at it because the hug looks so ??DSdsk;fjasfsd??? i love it sm and the coloring < #makes me weep and makes me breathless with emotions! u r such a great artist <3<3<3 #hope its ok i tried to desconstruct/reconstruct chase's design i love it sm #and i made up a lil au in my head that this Chase is from a universe where he is less of an asshole and Jack is more loyal #so they actually worked together more but that Chase lost his Jack so when he saw this universe Jack he just couldnt stop himself from #hugging him because he really missed him. And also that bandage is some sort of momento from his jack and i made myself saaaad D;

So, I cannot show support to Palestine at my university (flyers for protest, the colors and the flag, you get it...) because it's "encouraging violence and antisemitism" but when my university was tagged with antisemitic symbols, they did NOTHING. When the students union was targeted with threat of violence and their office was destroyed, covered with neo-nazis symbols, they did NOTHING.

The Neo-Nazis student association (which has been multiple times reported for their hate-crimes) were distributing flyers at the entrance yesterday WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, because they support Israel.

#I'm so mad #france #palestine #And I will not talk about the caricature of leftists in a nazi uniform because we support Palestine #That's like so fucking disgusting how dare they compare people being AGAINST a genocide to Nazis #repeating to myself that murdering one of those assholes of the gov will only make it worse #don't fucking judge me on my violent thought I a French leftist this is normal to us we know this is the only way to get things done #bro look at the Marseillaise lyrics it's about fighting turanny and oppressors that kill your family #and you dare make France stand with Israel #I know things suck way more for other people but I am tired and scared about what France is becoming

I think the funniest thing about how the Fandom perceives Tim (especially obnoxious Tim fans) is that he is was deeply hurt by the actions Jason, Damian, and Dick have done to him, but lowkey that’s just the fandom projecting

Tim lowkey did not give a fuck. Maybe a little at first, but he definitely does not hold a grudge against any of them.

#Tim Drake #unhinged tim drake #like will Tim eternally hate you if you take a sip from his Soda? yes #but attempted murder… he can get over that #Damian and Jason were just having a really bad time #(looks at that one panel where Tim forgives Jason for being an asshole supreme) #and he can admit that Dick was under a lot of stress during the time Bruce was lost in the time stream #angst is fun though #so I don’t BLAME Tim fans for it #just sometimes it’s annoying because Dick is a really good older brother and doesn’t deserve the hate for handing off a mantle he created #and Damian was a child who only grew up knowing that violence was the only way you can earn your place #and it’s shown in multiple panels that Tim understands that #Tim was literally snarking while Jason beat him up at Titans Tower #(honestly that was most accurate sibling portrayal in media… so…) #I say that as a younger sibling who has had so many injuries from my sister beating the crap outa me #and my younger brother emotionally decimates me on a daily basis #really #certain Tim fans just make him a wimp

Modern BBC Merlin AU where instead of sorcerers they're vampires and Arthur is just as oblivious that his roommate Merlin is hiding anything from him. Bonus points if the Pendragons are vampire hunters.

Leon: Why does Merlin never have lunch with us? Arthur: He usually sleeps in because he stays up way too late. We'll see him around dinner time.

Gwaine: Are you sure you don't want to head to the beach with us? Arthur, answering for Merlin: Look at how pale he is, he'll burn right up. Not to mention the sun hurts his "sensitive" eyes. Lancelot: *sweats*

Uther: Arthur, why did you remove the crosses and other protections on your apartment? Arthur: Oh, religion makes my roommate uncomfortable.

#bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #gwaine #lancelot #i feel like Uther is just bad!Giles in this AU #or if Giles was like the other assholes on the watcher's council #that's a buffy reference for those who haven't seen it! #because Anthony Steward Head is the Vampire Slayer's Watcher in that show #i feel like the knights probably think Merlin likes each of them too because he keeps looking at their necks #and yes this does imply that Morgana is a vampire in a family of vampire hunters

A year ago I was inspired to make something that captured the exact aesthetic of a vintage, degraded VHS recording from the 90s, and I think I'm pleased with what I attempted.

#deltarune #spamton #spamton g spamton #big shot spamton #my drawings #the only reason this was wip for a year was because i didn't know what to do for the logo #ended up just stealing the cungadero crossing sign #i don't think i'll put this amount of filters and effort into anything ever again #look at him. smug asshole. #he really does look like that guy in commercials that suddenly disappeared one day and nobody knows what happened to him #png was too big a file size to upload so i had to run this through the jpeg shredder #now some of the text is probably illegible but i guess that makes it authentic

[topaziraphale]

"Stop saying Crowley won't help Aziraphale in S3 he'd go back to him in a HEARTBEAT and nothing would stop him" I get it no one likes the idea of Crowley being bitter after what happened for a long period of time but like can we at least acknowledge that he's currently going through probably the most emotional pain in his life since falling? Can we agree that he's opened his heart entirely - something you couldn't pay him to do unless the world is literally ending and he's desperate - to Aziraphale, and got shot down? Can we understand that he did it AGAIN only to lose Aziraphale again? Not that what Aziraphale did isn't without Crowley's own shortcomings (hiding the truth of Heaven's cruelty from him) but like,,,,

The appeal here isn't Scorned Crowley Doesn't Love Aziraphale Anymore, or Never Wants To Help Him Again, the appeal here is Crowley learning enough self respect to not just walk back right to Aziraphale like nothing happened after Aziraphale has had a pattern of consistently refusing him. Going years ping-ponging between "We're not friends I don't even know him" to "That's what friends are for right?" and "We're friends, why would you even say anything?" and "Friends? We're not friends. We are an angel and a demon!"

Like I get it, Crowley is a heartbreakingly forgiving person. Of course he's gonna forgive Aziraphale, I'll be surprised if he didn't forgive him by the time he walked out the bookshop door, but gdi he could at least grant himself the luxury of being at least a little irritated for longer than however long it takes to make a globe and some books float and angrily cry out to God in his flat. But due to the change of pace and dynamic that is establishing part of the conflict for Season 3, I just really like the idea of him for ONCE prioritizing himself and being like "Okay, fine. We'll get back at it when you're ready, then," instead of just taking Aziraphale back like his words and actions meant nothing to him, when clearly they have an effect on him.

What is Aziraphale going to learn if Crowley just accepts what he did so quickly, like he always has the entire time they've been friends? Idk maybe I'm just projecting too much darkness on their dynamic but I mean, if the pattern of Aziraphale pushing Crowley away/disrespecting him one day and then being fine with his friendship the next + Crowley never stopping to be like "Hey, that's not cool, at least give me a little credit" or smth was fine all along and will continue to be fine in the future, then why, after 6,000 years of being friends and loving this demon, can Aziraphale still not accept that Crowley is just fine the way he is, and instead got excited to promote him to an angel in a heartbeat once the opportunity presented itself? You can't blame all of it on Heaven when Aziraphale has demonstrated his free will/defiance to Heaven so many times. Or, I don't know, I guess maybe we can? Maybe I'm just craving too much angst to the point where I'm letting it cloud my analysis of canon. Idk.

#derpy speaks #good omens #good omens 2 #no i dont think crowley is gonna ever hate aziraphale for what happened but he's allowed to be angry #he's allowed to be done with it all. he's allowed to be exhausted. just look at his face when he drives away. #meh. idk. but i dont know how i'll feel if crowley just INSTANTLY accepts aziraphale back in a situation involving #idk - ''hey help me stop the new apocalypse'' #at least. without like. SOME pushback? it can even be something small like ''are you SURE you want ME to help you? do you really need me?'' #doesnt have to be a straight refusal but i'd like SOME kind of action to show that crowley is putting his foot down for once #he deserves that self respect #do NOT reply saying that im insinuating that aziraphale is actively malicious or doing it on purpose. #everything he has done up until now is his own complicated response to all the trauma and guilt he's been through #but despite that crowley is STILL allowed to be upset... it's messy. i can write a whole paper about how this whole thing #is just unfortunate on both ends. again. we didnt get queerbaited we got communication baited 😭 #but help me out here. am i just too fandom-brained to have these expectations from the story? #is there something obvious im missing that is making me sound like a complete asshole here? do i need to get my head out of the gutter? #someone please explain it to me if so because whatever it is‚ i can't find it #not queued

hiii uhh im not sure if you are take requests rn and I don’t wanna seem like rude or anything but could u draw kokichi and makoto like interacting??? idk but it would be cool to see them meet or something lol

(post v3 and they're somehow all alive in the real world or something idk au but imagine if Makoto's secret was actually legit and the whole Danganronpa obsessed world just knows about it now and it never really dawned on him? that'd be messed up.)

#itosh1teru #danganronpa #makoto naegi #kokichi ouma #naegi makoto #ouma kokichi #fala replies #req art #fun fact: i don't actually understand post v3 game aus that have all the characters alive including #sdr1 and 2 because it doesn't make sense in my mind but if im gonna use it then by god will #makoto be older because CMON v3 is the 53rd installment which if we assume there's at least #3 danganronpa installments in a year that'll still put the sdr1/2 cast 17 years older #''But Fala you could have just put them attending Hopes Peak together!'' #i know i know that makes more sense and is usually the au i go with but look look #i wanted kokichi to tease makoto about his bladder problems like the lil asshole he is okay? #because you KNOW he would you KNOW. #30+ year old Makoto being bullied by an emo mime looking teenager is a very real threat that can happen #a e i o queue

Now that I'm thinking about it, it does make sense that Yuji's response is "hard work and persevere" and Yuta's is "cheated".

Yuji, who had to start from scratch, is constantly working hard to strengthen himself despite everything he's been through. He is quick to pick up on techniques and other skills but not without some kind of difficulty. Even so, he doesn't give up. His mental state can be garbage, and he still pushes himself to continue forward. Body is pushed to the limit? He'll still get up. (Mind you, he does this a lot even before RCT.)

Yuta, on the other hand, is related to some big shot, has an unlimited supply of cursed energy and can use techniques he copies on the fly despite some of those techniques had to be mastered by the original users in some way. Also, take Cursed Speech for example, Yuta really doesn't suffer from a backlash unlike Toge who does. And take in account that every single fight he's been in, Rika is pulled out. In other words, Yuta does "cheat" in a way.

#before anyone says anything no i don't hate yuta #i know someone will look at this and think this is some hate post because some of you always like to be assholes #BEFORE SITTING BACK AND THINKING #i adore yuta i do #and that's not saying yuta hasn't worked hard #it's just how his journey is differenf from yuji #and let's be honest he has had shortcuts #this is just something i thought about #just kiya's thoughts #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #jjk manga spoilers #jjk spoilers #jjk 250 #itadori yuji #yuji itadori #yuuji itadori #itadori yuuji #yuta okkotsu #okkotsu yuta #yuuta okkotsu #okkotsu yuuta

gotta say, i do not like how lately i've been seeing posts from people who use a person having colorfully dyed hair as a sort of shorthand for "leftist who is actually secretly an asshole." like people making comments like "the girl with blue hair and perfect eyeliner wings is also the one who won't give up their seat for a disabled person on the bus". like we already have to deal with the right-wing fascists using "blue hair and pronouns" as a shorthand for "leftist (trans) person who is insufferable and oversensitive", can we please not turn brightly colored hair into a caricature in leftist circles as well. having brightly dyed hair is not some magic symbol of "person who claims to be a leftist but is actually secretly an asshole". it is a morally neutral trait. and while i'm not discounting anyone's experience with someone with brightly dyed hair who treated them badly, i think that turning it into some kind of shorthand for "asshole" is just going to ultimately hurt us more than it's going to help.

#sye's babbles #like. i love having blue hair. i don't feel right without it. #and i am kinda getting uncomfortable with the level of vitriol that is being aimed at ppl with brightly dyed hair #from BOTH sides of the political spectrum #just because you had one fucking person with pink hair treat you badly does not mean everyone w bright hair will #it's obviously not comparable to axes of oppression since its a personal choice to style your hair like that and all #but also like. it just feels like two steps below being an asshole to someone who is gnc #because having brightly dyed hair IS a non-conformist hairstyle #it's treated as improper and unprofessional #and shitting on people for not conforming is always going to make you look like a conformist assimilationist douche. #please for the love of god begging EVERYONE to be normal about brightly dyed hair.
