#but also I’m baffled

[sncwbaz]

so, watched ep 1 of the atla live action and uhm, imagine not wanting one of your main characters to depict sexism because you believe it doesn’t read well in Current Times, so instead you double down on the character’s obsession towards leadership in order to give him that extra edge. but in order to make that work u have to make his sister quietly obedient instead of an outspoken leading presence that has the potential to overshadow him. because silencing a female character in order to write out a male character’s story arc of unlearning sexism is obviously a better and less sexist outcome.

#also the show made kyoshi say the opening of the show instead of katara cos apparently they’re obsessed with robbing katara of her voice #she’s literally just an entire different character and i cannot think of why except to make sokka look like a more prominent leader #which also goes entirely against sokka’s character trait of consistently feeling powerless #i don’t normally vent post about stuff like this but i’m just so baffled by this #atla #anna rambles #avatar the last airbender

I don’t know if Reverse Falls is still a thing on here but man, was I obsessed with it back in the early days.

#gravity falls #reverse falls #unpopular opinion but people took this AU wayyy too seriously lol. it’s dipper and mabel. they’re twelve. they would not be killing people #- with knives and shit. they would be goofing off with all the menace of your edgy rival in a Pokemon game. #it just kinda baffles me lol. also I’m revoking ya’ll’s shipping rights with any twin characters because ya’ll CANNOT behave. #my art #discussion aside: look! a finished illustration! I’m so happy lol I did this so fast for my usual workflow.

I’m back on my silly art bullshit with more skyjacks things :)

This time with unmounted linocut prints :)

#there’s a third. it’s in reference to (checks notes) #a thing said in episode 45 #you know the thing #it’s included in the content warnings #also working on a ‘from hogs he came to hogs he will return’ #skyjacks #my printmaking prof is baffled but supportive #gleeful reminder that I’m an art student and perfectly happy to use knowledge for chaos

[cloverstellar]

honest opinion here but I don’t think you should be celebrating all of those ccs leaving 🟩 I mean youMre straight so you shouldnt be celebrating something that doesn’t involve you

anon what the fuck

#how to explain to anon that Tommy IS straight also how does me being straight have to do with not being allowed #To celebrate the streamers I enjoy watching unfollow the streamer I don’t support l #BAFFLED by this ask #Also anon hi. I’m asexual what the fuck #rose asks #discourse #hate anon #i fucking guess

in honor of me finally watching season 2 of the bad batch (and once again losing my mind over these two) i decided to redraw this old comic of mine!

(originally based off of this post by @simplysummers!)

#AND APPARENTLY MY WISH CAME TRUE because i will genuinely be impressed/baffled if we don’t get any omega + crosshair interactions in s3 #i’m literally so excited for it #also. not to toot my own horn but. i’m literally so proud of the improvement between the two versions omg #i won’t lie there are some things i like better in the old one (mainly some of the expressions) #but i’m still very happy with the new one overall :] #also if any of you actually remember the old version you deserve a veteran’s discount <3 #star wars #tbb #the bad batch #tbb crosshair #crosshair tbb #tbb omega #omega tbb #crosshair and omega #the bad batch crosshair #the bad batch omega #long post #kam’s art #my post

Amity Park: US MOST HAUNTED!

Amity Park: The Faceblind City!

except the westons

#like #if Danny didnt want his parents knowing then he’d just have to keep silent around them and hope they dont notice his body shape and language #which- in this specific idea I had -I think they would actually notice over time #I miss me some Accepting Parents TM #also this idea started from a wild ass dream I almost fell into #where Ellie is being cared for by a homeless children’s shelter and won’t release her to Phantom because clearly that isn’t his daughter #they look nothing alike! but then Bruce Wayne is in town and is like I’m Sorry Maam Whats the Problem? cuz he overheard #and was baffled when she confirmed taht she said that #like he’s seeing a child who looks identical to this man with exception of minor features and the costume her dad’s wearing #he is SO confused #which does lead to Red Robin on a rooftop somewhere like #what the hyuck. the entire city- except for this poor guy -is faceblind! #is that genetic? and then he becomes hyperfixated so Oracle has to take over the actual operating part of their investigation as RR is gone #dpxdc #dcxdp #didnt intend to tag this as that actually but like ill just make a separate post for the non-crossover one #also 100% allowed to screenshot-reblog and transcribe my tags cuz I’m too tired and too far in

every time I watch impulse I remember at one point I thought he was the normal one. he just filters everything though such a “dad who wears cargo shorts” energy that, if you aren’t paying attention, you forget to notice that he’s also insane.

#hermitcraft #impulsesv #I only watch him on occasion and when he shows up in other people’s stuff a lot of the time #so I forget how much he just says the wildest things #it’s like there’s just air in his head #but he manages to talk like he knows what he’s saying #and every time I’m baffled by this #he’s such a normal guy he’s just also insane

[brother-emperors]

you're SO right, how is it that the best portrayal of many italian renaissance figures comes from a bad videogame from the 2010s

wheezing I’m torn between going truly this is the best portrayal of Leonardo da Vinci we may ever get, and defending AC2 even though I’m a full time Ezio Saga Hater

#I’m a Desmond Era + Origins fan in a ride or die kind of way but the Ezio games suck ass compared to 1 and 3 #however AC2 is miles above the European Era games and Odyssey butchers the use of Ezio’s theme so bad I will never forgive them #also Odyssey is legitimately bad. AC2’s biggest problem is that the story is narratively weak and holds it’s punches #I mostly hate the Ezio saga because the fandom was really fucking racist (still is!) and it could’ve been good!!! #but I have a deep seated fondness for the parts of it that were good. the game after all is still asking you to live even when it’s hard #the opening and the music are unparalleled and legendary. I just wish it kept that up throughout the story instead of #trying for a wider appeal but the story fucks up it’s own themes and bc the simplicity of it’s assassin/templar line up is baffling #there is also an AC2 that exists in my head that takes place in Venice lmao but that’s much more spy thriller #also did anyone here read the novelizations. Ezio and Machiavelli are so fucking married. 10/10 no notes #Ascanio is also mentioned in the brotherhood novelization iirc so. we stay winning!!

My only request if they do an episode where Mac gets a real actual boyfriend is that when they inevitably crash and burn it’s entirely Mac’s doing. Because A) Lest people forget Mac is as much of a weird little freak as everyone else and perfectly capable of destroying his own relationships B) It would be funny

#Actually I’m lying I have other requests. I also will be so mad if it’s Ryan Reynolds or another celebrity guest I want it to be #an everyman guest actor who can play a really good straightman who is baffled and horrified by what he witnesses #If Ryan Reynolds can do a good job at that maybe I can forgive it but probably not #iasip #mac mcdonald #Though to be clear I DO want everyone else to fucking loathe this guy for absolutely no reason #just hit him with that cold blank stare during any interactions #I have a clear picture in my head so I’m setting myself up for disappointment

Ngl, I don't like how the new movie is changing the backstory. I wanted miner Megatron, I wanted him writing his manifesto, becoming a gladiator, starting a revolution. No atlmodes takes out the whole funtionist society, are at least Megatron's big chunk in it. Also, Bee being the same age as them is a very weird take. I've always seen Bee as being 20 and Megs and OP being in their 50s.

Changing the backstory?? My dude there IS no one backstory in transformers. Megatron hasn’t always been a miner/gladiator/revolutionary leader against functionism. This is a brand new continuity, not IDW or Aligned. For gods sake have we forgotten the LITERAL EVIL BRAINWORMS he had in G1???

I super love new and weird takes on old stuff, in case you’ve forgotten the premise of this blog. I have some qualms maybe but overall I’m excited for this. Also you seem really quick to dismiss the lore and worldbuilding potential of not everyone having tcogs. Limiting tcog use so that “lowly worker bots” don’t have any, and apparently many don’t even have NAMES, sounds like it could absolutely be a dystopic regime, just with a different manner of oppression than functionism.

Basically: tf fans stop expecting new continuities to be exactly like old canons challenge (failed)

#sorry this response is a little mean but. I’m really baffled at this opinion #or rather several dozen versions of this opinion I’ve seen from dedicated haters. I don’t know you and have no idea your overall attitude #so my apologies for this answer being somewhat of a response to the many many bad faith complaints I’ve been seeing #it’s literally a brand new canon why are you upset it’s not like the old ones??? #also we have One Single Trailer. you have no idea how they’ll use lack of tcogs in the worldbuilding yet why are we already critiquing it #I wish bee was someone else sure that’s the only bit I’d agree with but this is hasbro and he is The Kid Appeal Character #tf one #tf one spoilers

🥺🥺 I’ve been going to the gym during the day this autumn instead of the morning. Today went during the morning like I used to, and the cleaner greeted me and said that he thought I had quit bc hadn’t seen me around, and if everything’s good and that made my day

#i go through life always thinking I affect nothing & no one so things like these baffle me but in a very good way #like I am a human person alongside other ppl after all #i feel lowkey bad tho bc I could’ve been leas awkward and say ’’thanks’’ etc. but I wasn’t expecting to be talking to anyone #also he spoke english so the language barrier bc sure I know english like pretty alright but talking in it is different #but anyways; i love my gym and if I ever move I’m going to be honestly sad about having to switch (bc currently it seems very chill place & #don’t get that gym anxiety anymore bc I’ve been going there for like a year) #november 2023 #2023

PSA FOR MAKE-UP AND SKINCARE BRANDS: START LISTING POTENTIAL ALLERGENS AT THE END IN BOLD LIKE FOOD PRODUCTS HAVE TO BECAUSE IT IS WAY OVERDUE AS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT AND I AM TIRED.

#this is a vent #sorry everyone #but I’m so tired #some brands do! but it’s so uncommon #genuinely baffles me though that it’s not common for skincare brands to do this #since it’s not unusual for those with irritated skin to have all sorts of allergies #and yes you can’t list every allergy under the sun #but I’m talking specifically about nut allergies here since nuts are a SUPER popular ingredient #in all beauty and hygiene products #for their h y d r a t i o n #and I’m allergic to Every Kind 😀👍🏻 #also rip to everyone with plant-based allergies 😖 #anyway #vent #spoon tag #spoonie #make up #makeup #skincare #allergies #allergens #nut allergy #food allergies #chronic condition

im still baffled by the general response to ep 8 btw. sure the dialogue got a little cheesy at times, but the dialogue in this show is always like 15% cheesy? that’s why people like it lol.

i thought ep 8 was really good, plotlines were moving, drama was happening, characters and relationships were being tested. juno temple acted her ass off. i wish the whole season had been like this!

i really don’t understand why everyone disliked this ep so much. am i missing something? am i just looking for something different out of this show than everyone else is? i agree that the season as a whole has been… scattered, but i thought this past ep was really good.

am i missing something?

#i also feel so bad for keeley hazell #it seems like this ep was probably somewhat based on personal experience for her #considering keeley is based on her #and i really felt that genuine voice come through in the plotline and dialogue! #for the keeley parts anyway #but people are being brutal towards her specifically #i just. i’m baffled #sure the locker room scene was maybe a little preachy but like. literally this whole show’s premise is ted #standing at the front of a room and telling everyone to be nice #like i thought that was part of what we were signing up for lol #anyway. even with minor issues like that i still don’t understand how it could deserve a 6.6 on imdb????? #that’s lower than signs! i hated signs! #well not hated but yk #i certainly liked it less than this one lol #idk man. im just so baffled. like am i the wrong one here? am i missing something? #ted lasso spoilers

imagine playing a game for over a hundred hours and are super excited to see how the main character goes through with the sacrifices that have been hyped up on the second to last day, and you’re so ready to witness this horrific, emotional moment, and then the final cutscene is the general dude and the kid he forced to go to war posing like they’re taking prom pictures

#no shade to ipl but what the fuck 😭 #block has NOT known clara long enough to be holding her like that #when me and my friend nox saw this at the end of my run we were fucking BAFFLED #it kinda comes across as creepy if i’m being real #i’m not saying that’s the intentions because i highly doubt it is #i think it could have been a tender gesture if block wasn’t actually pretty horrible to clara #like he isn’t rude to her but he DOES still use her #and also weirdly idolizes her #and forces her to go to war #i just don’t like block okay 😭 #but anyone this shot STILL bewilders me i home it does not return in P2 #pathologic #pathologic hd #pathologic classic hd #clara pathologic #clara the changeling #clara saburova #alexander block

oh fuck I just realised I’m on the aro-ace spectrum

oh wow

I was just looking through posts and then I related to all this stuff so much. Made a post about it and all

I only just realised

#And after I went on a hyperfixation about it too #why did it not click?? #I’m honestly a bit baffled #also sorry about the rambling #aromantic #asexual #aroace #or somewhere on the spectrum at least
