#but I shouldn't focus on this

[aimless-passerby]

Today everything is so laggy, ugh.

Wanted to make smth for furaffinity in one go, but overestimated my abilities.

And I couldn't find a mythological creature that would live in wells, so for this idea it's just an early stage of Gollum-ifiction.

This might seem like an "old man yells at cloud" situation, but it's just wild growing up and being told how dangerous distracted driving is - how, at highway speeds, you can traverse the length of a football field (100 yards, 91 meters) in a matter of seconds - how one split second sending a text while driving could result in a potential fatal crash, and then getting on the road as a driver and being surrounded by billboards. Their entire purpose is to catch one's attention, so they're lining major roads, which tend to be highways. How is it that you're told how important it is to never be distracted while driving, but still being advertised to?

At best, this type of advertising is an eyesore to pedestrians and motorists and a general waste of electricity to light it, and at worst, it is an active danger considering they are there to advertise and therefore, must catch people's attention.

I'm not even against advertising in theory, but this particular mode bothers me so much and I hate how pervasive it is - especially in large cities or highways.

#politics #i don't know much about são paulo banning marketing billboards but on paper i want that here in the USA #as a motorist it at best just makes me more anxious driving in those larger cities because i want to FOCUS ON THE ROAD #and passing 5000 billboards per mile isn't helping actually! #i've gotten good at filtering that out of my FOV but it's still fucking exhausting lol #i especially hate those modern electric billboards. despise them actually #i am aware that advertising is a critical aspect to business management in some cases... #...but it shouldn't risk the safety of the populous for you to advertise to them and i see things like billboards as risking safety... #...i feel similarly about online advertising in that so much of it risks internet user's safety... #...such as flashing ads online which risk triggering epileptic seizures in light/photo-sensitive folks #distracted driving (texting): NO >:( || distracted driving (being advertised to): YAYYYY :D #i've been driving on my own for a few years now and i've been thinking about this for ENTIRELY too long

I really do dunk on villain stans a lot but the thing is like. I genuinely do not care on any sort of moral level if you love a villain, or villains generally. They are pretend. The murder and the war crimes aren't real. Do whatever.

The issue is that like, this is a person the narrative is telling you to root against, and that it's okay because they are pretend. That doesn't mean they can't have sympathetic qualities but it does mean that as a rule the story is telling you "hey, here are the heroes who oppose this person, cheer for them" and also "you should boo and hiss when this motherfucker comes on stage" and a lot of people who like villains will look at everyone else and go "why the FUCK are you booing and hissing don't you see they have TRAUMA" instead of acknowledging the big "TIME TO BOO AND HISS" signs being thrown out by the story and saying "bring it on."

And I suppose you can argue that this is an overly simplistic way of looking at it, but if we're dealing with a story with at least some reasonably clearly delineated heroes and villains you're not intelligent for trying to pretend it's more complicated than it is. I'm not talking about the gray areas of antagonist who could be persuaded otherwise, nor antihero but straight up "this is the bad guy, we all but have arrows pointing at them saying it". Like, really, a lot of people who stan villains don't seem to do it for the love of the game, which I would respect, but because of a sour grapes situation with the heroes, or because they're in their edgy "subversion automatically means you're the smarter one" phase.

Anyway my point is I don't care if you woobify a villain for any sort of moral reasons but I do think that if you do so, you're a coward and not terribly good at understanding stories. I also don't care from any sort of moral standpoint if you enthusiastically cheer on the villain, but if you act confused or mad that most people aren't with you on that, I think you're an idiot and not terribly good at understanding stories.

#honestly a related phenomenon is like. you know how some people SAY something is their type but they only appreciate it thru headcanons? #like when people recommend podcasts with white casts and no clear indications of character race as Good Rep #or when people are like i love fat characters and every character they like is a canonically thin character they hc as fat. #this feels like that. trying to have one's cake and eat it too in the dumbest way possible #i'd finally add that the whole focus on Things Being Problematic really brought down the discourse #not that you shouldn't call out actually problematic behavior but literally a lot of the behaviors i dislike are not problematic #they are merely incredibly fucking stupid. you are not problematic for liking villains in these ways you're just dumb and kind of boring #on fandom

Sometimes I'll see posts from people being like "It's okay to enjoy shipping you guys! being a shipper isn't bad!" and it's like.... bro be honest did someone actually tell you that you were a bad person for enjoying shipping or did you read some posts by aspecs about them criticizing fandom culture around shipping and you took it personally?

#text #aro #aromantic #fandom #shipping #because genuinely I've never seen one aspec say that shipping is bad or people shouldn't do it #i've just seen some aspecs saying 'wow i wish people would focus on something else for once" #because it's near impossible to interact with anything in fandom without it inevitably circling back to shipping #like bro if you're feeling victimized for being a shipper then you can like... #not interact with the aspec ppl voicing their distaste for shipping in fandoms #literally the entire fandom space is right there and in support of you #you aren't really expressing a unpopular opinion here buddy

fellas is it freeing Palestine to send graphic images to American Jews

#ask #silver-the-socialist #“your country” lol. lmao even #I would ask who you think it's helping but the answer is no one #you don't do this kind of thing because you think it's helping. you do it because you're hurting and you want other people to hurt too #which. I shouldn't have to tell you. is a bad response. you shouldn't see suffering and think “how can I make more people suffer” #“I'm suffering because of what's happening in Gaza and I don't think you're suffering enough so I'm going to /make/ you suffer” #it's trite but you really need to focus more on saving what you love than fighting what you hate #and that's all without mentioning the fact that I'm not Israeli and I want a free Palestine but who cares when you can make me a #morally appropriate person to bully #Anyway don't harass this person but definitely do block them

[selvnite]

I actually agree with her... like this goes for any ships in the show. I think it'd take away from what's great about The Mandalorian if they focused on any sort of romance within the main cast.

#i'd certainly lose interest lol #don't get me wrong ship what you want (within reason) #but it doesn't and shouldn't be part of the show imo #the mandalorian #nitearmor #dinbo #dincobb #dinluke #koska x bo #etc etc these are the only ships i remember but you get the point #idk to me mando is about found family & platonic bonds being strong af #adding a romance focus with main cast would ruin that for me but that's just my opinion! #i do lowkey expect romance for din at some point though idk why

TIME TO SHOW WHAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SINCE JAN!

Full character sheets for my characters! These four are referred to as the Stems, in my world. Because their powers stem from the Goddess Eumelia! In my Voice Carries the Music story, these four are long gone. But they left their blessings for each of their countries to benefit from, and they each have descendants!

I'm so happy I was given the opportunity to work on them!

#mewnia's pawprints #mewnia's OC's #Cassindra (Voice Carries the Music) #Wian (Voice Carries the Music) #Teresa (Voice Carries the Music) #Attituq (Voice Carries the Music) #The Stems #character design #I love magical ancestry and ancestry reincarnation so much #even though like #in my VCtM story the only active descendent in the main party is Ella #Link and all the others are characters we'll meet along the way #but that's because VCtM has a different focus and they act more as the lore #But I've always had small ideas for a prequel story using these characters #where Wian would be the main one #I would love to do that some day but I shouldn't over stuff my plate #VCtM is already taking up so much of my time

"Venti stans are low key annoying complaining about Venti not being the main focus of the Windblume festival."

First off we do not care. Second off ok???? Literally every character stan complains about their fave not getting enough screen time hop off.

It isn't even about screen time for me. It's about the fact that Venti hasn't truly felt like Venti in several updates. The last time he truly felt like himself was during Weinlesefest but even then he still didn't feel like the Venti we met all the way back during the first archon quest. And I don't wanna hear "hE hAd cHaRaCtEr dEvLoPmEnT." Cause no that isn't what happened, he regressed as a character. He's becoming fanon Venti in game. He gets used for alcohol jokes and Paimon calls him lazy then he dips. 🙄

"He was just in the Lantern Rite.." Shut Up. Shut Up. Shut all the fucking way up! He was terrible in LR and honestly if you cut Venti out of LR you basically have the same event. He did literally nothing of substance and he shouldn't have been there at all.

The first Windblume festival centered around Venti and showed us more of Venti being Mondstadt's archon. The second Windblume festival has barely anything to do with him. Excuse us if we're fucking disappointed, we have every right to be. Like I said literally every character's stans complain about them not getting enough screen time. Yeah sure if every Mondstadt event centered Venti it'd get old but the biggest problem is they decided to center a MONDSTADT EVENT around fucking SUMERU CHARACTERS. Fucking Collei gets more screen time than any Mondstadt character. Which wouldn't be a problem but this is a main Mondstadt event. Even though Venti was in LR 3 he wasn't a main focus he was a background character to the rest of the cast. Which is what Collei should've been cut out Tighnari and Cyno.

Mondstadt has so many underutilized characters and their screen time got spliced for the Sumeru fuckers who already have too much screen time. The entire last five updates have had Cyno in almost everything and Tighnari as well and while Collei has less screen time than them she has yet to be under used. If this was about Collei meeting up with Amber again they could've had that in a different event. If this was about Collei facing her anxiety it could've happened in a different event. They should've just had Sucrose helping Mondstadters cause guess what? You think this is going to be the last time a nation's event gets characters bombarding in? Hell no Fontaine is coming soon we're one hundred percent going to get nation festivals with random characters that have nothing to do with anything probably until the end of the game.

We'll see how happy ya'll are when your fave gets less screen time for some randos that have nothing to do with the nation you care about.

#venti #windblume breath #windblume festival 3.5 #tw vent #idc if this sounds entitled #like what're you going to do about that #like we literally just got Mika introduced and he has less screen time than the sumeru cast so far #we have fucking Noelle and oh shocker I didn't see my baby Diona anywhere looks like they forgot about her again! #this is a main Mondstadt event you can't slap the title Windblume festival on it then have it mostly center randos from other nations #even if Venti wasn't the focus Collei should've had less screen time #She has plenty of time to get over her damn anxiety in another event this shouldn't have been so about her #genshin impact #come at me fuckers #i said what i said #i said what needed to be said #And I'm not taking it back #And yes I am saying all of this while having enjoyed Cyno's appearance but I am still disappointed and I have the right to that

I'm planning to make you a deltarune secret boss.

So, if you interested, what do you want your secret boss be how it looks like

Not me making a damn reference sheet for my character then accidentally making her look too much like irl me 😭

Name: Business gal [real name: Rachel]

Might change her to have a gameboy-like tv head, actually.. I'll do that.. so I guess this is her concept design, idfk

#ink's posting bullshit #ink answers them ask #This is why I shouldn't fully focus on my reference images #Ink's slightly shitty art

i really need to finish this one day

#one of my fave ideas but i keep getting stuck or starting over. third time's the charm hopefully #anyways. posting it as an excuse to rant because i'm losing my mind over this rn for no reason #incoherent but i just need to Talk or my brain won't shut up #you ever think about how fucked up it is that aoi feels guilty over what happened. i do. i think about her a lot #he can't even look at me. we aren't even blood related but he still had to go to jail because of me. i still love him #in reality none of it is her fault. it shouldn't be about doumeki in the first place. baby girl you were 15 when it happened. #you can say that yashiro is cruel in his dismissiveness (on the surface) of doumeki's trauma but you can see where he's coming from #you got a glimpse of what your sister was going through? of what i went through? and now you're sooo guilty over it? and who does it help? #doumeki's so focused on his own feelings that he ignored aoi when they were living together. “saves” her by pure chance #proceeds to focus on his guilt and ignore her again. if yashiro didn't get involved she'd be sitting in the rain for god knows how long #yet she still loves and to some degree idolizes him #yashiro and aoi both saying that doumeki isn't the type of person to be a yakuza too. doumeki's good doumeki's better than that #and then ch 24 happens. where yashiro says that he's going to throw up and doumeki's response is “i probably won't stop even if you do” #“guess i am like my father after all” and yashiro still goes “you're not. you're pure and im the problem” #(touches doumeki's face. rare gentle gesture. he's gentle afterwards too before leaving. man.) #he's not cruel enough to repeat what he said in the earlier conversation and he doesn't actually believe it anyway #but i wish yashiro was cruel there. it shouldn't have been about doumeki and his feelings. again. #something about yashiro throwing a knife at another person and it flying back at him huh #for all the talk about how doumeki supposedly romanticizes yashiro it really is the other way around. always has been #which is a whole other conversation but yeah. everything about aoi and yashiro in relation to doumeki makes me so fucking sad #but this is also what i mean when i say that aoi doesn't haunt the narrative per se but still has this weird presence? #she's in the parallels. she's in the brief but important mentions. she's in the “your sister was lucky she had you”. #wips tag

Really really hope the Sepang rumors aren't true cause seriously, all of the MotoGP tracks that get "modified" to fit F1 standards get super dangerous to ride on. We've already seen an increase in dangerous crashes last season, and I really don't want to see yet another classic circuit get made too dangerous.

Yeah, it is a great circuit. It is a historical circuit. But it'll either have to be a 100% F1 track or 100% MotoGP track if we want to keep it safe. Every time they try to get the tracks "more suitable for cars" we get gravel pits that injure riders and speedbumps that aren't safe to ride over.

It cannot be another "combined" circuit. Either it gets handed over 100% or not. I just don't want to have another crash like what we've had in 2023.

We already had an accident and the season hasn't even started.

#bit of a rant but im so concerned #about whats happened to pol and rins and franky... #and enea.... and really pecco too.... #I shouldn't have to list half the grid to make my point #too many injuries last year #could we have safe tracks that are 100% for MotoGP #have it be the main focus so we don't have crashes like those #motogp #sepang circuit
