#but you gotta be realistic about this

[kiwisandpearls]

also yeah your allowed to feel negatively about the change in animation but at a certain point you gotta calm down and realize an animation studio change is not the end of the world.

the older seasons with their beautiful animation will always exist and you’ll still always be able to look back it. It’s not suddenly getting erased with this new animation change.

#talk away ⌞🍵🍋 ⌝ #but you gotta be realistic about this #it may suck for you #but it is not the end of the world #lego monkie kid season 5 #lego monkie kid #im making an excessive amount of posts about this #i guess i had more feelings than i thought about it

Not to keep harping on it but Death Note has plenty of fridge horror to go along with the unintentional humor and romance.

Like,,,the ENTIRETY of Wammy's House is such a fucked up concept. An orphanage where they crank out genius kids into the world by...what? What are they doing with those kids? What do you mean one of them died in there? Wait—and the second one is a serial killer? And one joined the mafia? What—WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THOSE KIDS—

Not to mention the intricacies of L and Watari's relationship. He's seen as a butler/father figure until you find out that he's an inventor/war vet who took in an orphan with the express purpose of making him useful. No wonder Wammy's runs the way it does when the og, the man it is named after sees children as tools and means to an end. And, given that L has already made them so much money playing stocks that it doesn't even matter anymore (Mr. Builds A Skyscraper To House Five People), why is Quillish still with him? To keep an eye on him? To make sure L doesn't forget where he came from? Out of some sort of guilt for never teaching him how to take care of himself because those weren't the skills that Quillish thought it important to cultivate? Or maybe even to keep him dependent on Quillish to keep functioning properly.

And then there's the horror of L himself. Not even the implications of him, but the proof of who he is and what he can do. The thought of a man with so much money and power and influence that if he wanted to make you disappear, if he wanted to torture you or hold your loved ones hostage or kill you and everyone that's ever shaken your hand he could and no one would fucking bat an eye—that's fucking terrifying. (Where the fuck is Beyond—) And, not only does he have the power to do all that; no one would question it because he's part of Law™. His every action can be excused as being part of the Greater Good, despite the fact that L himself has admitted that everything he does is for his own benefit and/or entertainment.

Light, of course, is an obvious horror—but one of the most horrific things about him is glossed over. I'm not someone who personally believes in the Death Note's corruptive powers or aura or whatever, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that, once you give up the Death Note, your memories of it are erased. All the people you've killed, all the things that you've seen, you've still seen and done all those things, you just don't remember it. There's a hole in your mind, and all that prickly, thorny mess that grew in you when you were a killer is still there, choking you—you just don't know why. Why are you so unfazed by death? Why don't you cry when your mother dies? Why are you so afraid of being something that looks like you? Will you ever be certain of anything again? Will you ever, truly, know yourself when you can't remember all the atrocities you've committed? Can you ever change and grow again if your roots are gone? Or are you stuck in stasis forever now, your mind stalling in one place in order to keep you from remembering the people you've killed?

#death note #fridge horror #people always talk about the unintentional romance or humor #but i dont think people talk about the unintentional horrors enough #quillish wammy #l lawliet #yagami light #light yagami #wammy kids #*rattles my cage* #THE IMPLICATIONS..!.;THE IMPLICATIONS OF IT ALL..!.!!! #you know for a horror show the horror is extremely well hidden #but then again i DO like scares you gotta think about for a minute #okay but srsly where is beyond #like realistically he was probably put in prison but also canonically im not SURE he was put in prison #bc really do you think quillish wants that on record? one of his experiment orphans committing murder? #or L even do you think L wants someone running around with his secrets and FACE?? #i would not be surprised if they just fuckin bodied him afterwards no pomp and circumstance just chucked him in the bog #or worse....he might be back at wammys #locked up in the fuckin basement or some shit #that place is SCARY bro

I just read "Loki meta" where they applauded his growth because ... He cared about Mobius and tried to talk him down but isn't that exactly what he had been doing for years with Thor? Getting him to calm down and talk him out of doing something stupid?? How is that growth??

I will very clearly demonstrate how it is growth please obverse carefully

#gotta replace 'stupid' here with 'impulsive' bc Loki telling people to stop and/or think about decisions isn't new #BUT #the important part is that the hair has grown a tiny bit i think #it's not long enough to curl fully at the ends in Thor 1 but in the Loki series Season 1 it is clearly MUCH longer in most scenes #and in Season 2 idk im not watching it but it looks like it curls a lot more hence longer #there you have it! #growth! #realistic #the Loki show

Dan talking abt how tiktok is “the downfall of humanity” gave very millennial😭. Girl don’t act like you weren’t on tumblr in its peak years and don’t scroll on twitter every day (arguably worse). It’s just a pet peeve of mine when people say that because thats literally what gen x/boomers said about everything on the internet. MySpace was the true start of the downfall of humanity imo. Everything else just followed along! 👺

well he is a millenial 😔

i think he's trying to be conscious of everything that comes along with tiktok--safety concerns, privacy concerns, as well as the erasure of the creator and the platforming of The Algorithm.

he doesn't deny there's good content there, he even says in the video if his fyp gave him this content continually, he would use it. but he's all too aware of the advertising and prevalence of the algorithm. and, he's concerned about the amount of time people (cough, phil, cough) put into it.

i think they're valid concerns. i think having good-faith criticism about the things you choose to spend your time on are important. not that having guilt all the time is good, but something doesn't have to be 'perfect' in order for you to interact with it. (see youtube, twitter, and even here with tumblr)

i'll be honest, i'm a gen z who doesn't use tiktok. there's good tiktoks out there, but i prefer a different type of slop (everything is slop don't lie to yourself).

like if it really bothers you that much i suggest you sit with that discomfort and figure out why.

a lot of people older than gen z shit on tiktok because they think it's turning the frogs gay--it's just a title of something they can blame their hatred of everything different from them on, and their disgust for the youth who dare to not live by their morals. it's not about tiktok itself. whereas dan is seeing the flaws and faults of the app and the culture. you don't have to agree with him, but his opinion on it shouldn't ruin your day. he's just a guy.

#idk hes not attacking you for using it. theres bigger things yknow. like your feelings are valid. but if its that big of a deal consider why #fuck other peoples opinions! do what makes you happy! (as long as you arent hurting people) #like tiktok good tiktok bad is just not realistic. its all fucking grey okay. you gotta get used to living in ambiguity. fuck purity culture #idk why you chose me specifically but clearly you needed to vent about it. i hope this helps you process it anon. #dnp #c.text #answered

We talked about making it

I'm sorry that you never made it

And it pains me just to hear you have to say it

You knew the game and played it

It kills to know that you have been defeated

I see the wires pulling while you're breathing

You knew you had a reason

It killed you like diseases

I can hear it in your voice while your speaking you can't be treated

Mr. Know-it-all had his reign and his fall

At least that's what his brain is telling all

If he said help me kill the president

I'd say he needs medicine

Sick of screaming let us in

The wires got the best of him

All that he invested in goes

Straight to hell

Straight to hell

Wires - The Neighbourhood

#not a judgement or me being hostile just personal preference #plus it’s kinda assumed by default so if you want to avoid it (like me!) you have to specify that #anyway I heard wires again a couple days ago and realized it was 1000000% a Jon song lol #Jon is a cat because I can’t draw humans #he’s naked because I couldnkt be bothered to draw clothes #anyway this was intended as a post s5 jon #where somewhere else is Jonah times #and Jon decides that he can’t let the fears continue harvesting from more and more worlds. he came so close to destroying them last time #so he tries to do it again by manipulating Jonah into being his archivist #but this could really be any Jon once his powers really kick in #tw scopophobia #scopophobia #scopophobia tw #I initially wanted Jon to have an ultra-realistic eye but I wanted to get this done more #I feel a bit bad about reusing the same pose but not enough to go back and change it #oh well #anyway sorting tags time I think #jarchivist #Jonathan sims #Jon sims #TMA #the magnus archives #tma fanart #digital art #furry tma #furry magnus archives #trans jarchivist #trans Jonathan sims #(that’s what I was trying to imply with him being a tortoiseshell anyway. look sometimes a transmasc has just gotta project) #sparkarts

I find it funny when people talk about how a zombie apocalypse would look "more realistically" and completely forget that a decomposing body looses all muscle function in less than 2 days after death- even if somehow there was anything realistic that could make dead bodies get up and attack people, unless there was a way for it to functionally replace the nerves and muscles of the body (for example, very futuristic Nanotechnology) they wouldn't be functional zombies for very long, the apocalypse would be over in probably a handful of weeks.

#hi yes I have spent way too much of my lifespan thinking about zombies and the zombie apocalypse #dont get me wrong though #I like semi realistic zombie content #you just gotta be willing to admit they're not actually fully realistic #because thats just not how corpses work #its ironic how much I know about zombie stuff and apocolyptic content though #I used to have a legitimate phobia of them #like would spend hours or even days holed up in my room terrified #would have literal nightmares #still sort of have the nightmares sometimes but hey the paranoia has gotten a lot better #it helped that I found 1 singular zombie show that I found funny and didnt scare the shit out of me #rant #zombies #zombie apocalypse #realistic zombies

kiryu sitting haruka down for a really important talk and looking nervous but deeply serious about it and when he finally speaks he gives an honest and vulnerable admission that upon much self reflection, as unlikely as it may seem, as shocking as it may come, he is, in fact, gay, and he hopes this doesn’t make her feel any distress or discomfort in-part due to the implication that he likely didn’t have romantic feelings for her mom, he did care very very much for her regardless of labels, and so on and so on. and she lets him give this lengthy emotional confession that goes on for like twenty minutes before he finally goes dead silent anxiously anticipating her response. and she’s just like. uncle kaz I really appreciate you opening up to me like this and I’m really proud of you for accepting yourself for who you are. but me and every other kid at morning glory figured this out like 10 years ago

#he’s shaking he’s on the verge of tears and she’s just sitting there like. should I act shocked? this clearly means so much to him but #i feel like saying ‘uncle kaz. its not that subtle. you were a bachelor taking care of a bunch of adoptive kids with no interest #in women whatsoever for years. i already know. most people close to you already suspected.’ is a bit anticlimactic #I think about this a lot #cause realistically she would probably be the first person to open up to about it #unless he miraculously put together through Obvious Context Clues that daigo and mine were a Thing (probably YEARS after the fact though) #and then went and asked daigo about it. which would be hilariously awkward and id pay money to see it #he’s so bad at reading the room and like. getting social cues. I feel like he’d finally get a moment where he’s alone with daigo in his #office and would strike right as daigo’s about to make casual conversation like #‘so how have you b–‘ ‘daigo-san do you like men’ #with his typical stoic intense look on his face. poor daigo that’d be mildly terrifying. also the funniest thing he could possibly do #kiryu #haruka #rambling #kazuma kiryu #haruka sawamura #yakuza #amusing follow-up to the initial idea with haruka. he eventually calms down and is relieved and whatnot and says to her kinda casually #‘I’m not sure if I’m ready to tell anyone else. except maybe majima. I’ve been able to trust him for decades with just about anything and I #know he’d never be judgmental–‘ and haruka’s sitting there like. oh god do I have to tell him. someone’s gotta tell him.

seeing a post about charlie cox and the first tag is the horniest thing ive ever read

#mcu daredevil fans mostly #yall are weird weird abt charlie cox #not even matt just charlie #brother you dont gotta detail how you wanna spend the night with him in the tags #idk its weird hes a grown ass man w kids and a wife #theres a suspicious number of people who write smut for every charlie cox character #this goes for other actors too #idk realistically it doesnt effect them #but if you write smut rpf about an actor ur getting a hardblock lol #theyre not even interesting like why are you thirsting over some normal ass guy when the fictional disaster is right there #dare i tag this #i wont

“this animal looks weird therefore it must be in agony, even if it seems in good spirits and is improving trust me it has to be in horrible pain because it’s Unnatural™, we should just put it out of its misery even if its caretakers have the means and desire to care for it” my ass. my fucking ass. fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck y

#biting you biting you biting you #ppl in the replies saying ‘it looks so sad and confused’ bitch the fuck are you talking about????? #you mean how its lying down with its legs splayed out because its a BABY COW???? #have yall seen baby cows oh my god #‘this baby didnt come out the pussy with perfect coordination we gotta PUT IT DOWN’ #ggfdsaasdgjklkgdvbj #realistically i know op means well but. such. such misguided #i read that post and all i see is eugenics rhetoric #lime rants

if you're in the us and you're as terrified as i am about trump running again but aren't sure what to do, i'd love to suggest writing letters for vote forward.

i've written letters for them for several years. we send handwritten nonpartisan letters encouraging people to vote. the more people vote, the more people vote blue. the more disenfranchised voters vote, the more people vote blue. the more bipoc folks, queer folks, women, single parents, low income folks, etc vote, the better off we will all be.

take a break from doomscrolling. ranting on twitter or tumblr won't change people's minds.

make a donation to a candidate in a swing state. write letters to encourage people to vote. volunteer with a local organization making an actual difference on an issue you care about.

it's not hopeless, but you can't do everything all at once. pick something you can actually do, and start there. once that's done, maybe you can do something else.

i just signed up to write five letters to support voter turnout in michigan. once i get those prepped, i'll sign up to write some more.

#grace rambles #vote forward #when i start to panic i sign up for a few more letters #or make a small donation #the right wants you to be panicked #to think it's hopeless #it isn't #but screaming on the internet isn't the solution #you are capable of making a difference #but you gotta be realistic about scope #take on something small and manageable #and then go from there <3

I feel kind of silly for worrying if Lumi won’t reach it’s next crowdfund goal despite how much people have shown that yes, they do want to see this and my anxiety is just mean to me in thinking that they won’t.

At the same time it’s still a very real worry to have, but it also lead me to severely doubt myself last time and I feel if starting to creep in all over again…

#tbd #Evan bleats #but at the same time that doesn’t mean it’ll be successful #there’s so much I have to think about and I wonder if I’m overthinking about it too much… #i definitely want to be successful because I love Lumi and I want to tell a story that means a lot to me #but I can’t just let my own wishes and dreams get in the way of what’s Realistic #knowing that the pilot will probably be the only episode made #or maybe I’m just being too pessimistic??? #I’m not trying to my brain is just like yes you can dream about this but u gotta consider the Reality too #ahhhh… x_x

a bunch of people have already registered for my mentoring workshop! unfortunately this means i have to plan and host a workshop aaaaaa

#i want to think aloud through it on here at some point #but i think i am going to structure it around the theme of cultivating student autonomy #because i think one of the primary goals of mentorship is to prepare students to be self-directed learners who can set realistic goals + #evaluate their own progress + reflect on what they've learned and what they still don't know #+ take initiative without sitting around waiting for someone to tell them what to do next #so i think we will do some thinking around like #when we have a student we think of as really capable or driven what qualities and behaviors do we observe in that student #and maybe ill also share some of the research on intrinsic motivation + self-direction + locus of control #which i think is all really interesting esp in light of the contemporary College Mental Health Crisis concerns #and then we will look at a range of tools + structures + strategies that i think are useful for fostering student autonomy over time #and maybe leave them with some core principles/guiding values that i think are useful when you are trying to like #avoid jumping in and doing stuff for kids #or solving their problems for them #idk i need to think through specifics a bit more #but i feel like on this campus #people do a lot of 'workshops' that are really not interactive at all #it's just someone talking from slides #and i kind of want to show off my ability to structure more engaging workshops #but idk. gotta think about how to do it well #and how to build in lots of opportunities for like crowdsourcing strategies too

omg recently friends have been like "I played some deathloop and tried not to kill aleksis but I just couldn't help it" and "he's so awful sorry I know you love him" and I'm like !!!!! no!!!!! please feel that way about him!! if you ever read my fic I want you going in with your worst opinion of him. that's the point!!! he's is the worst!!!!! I validate all of the aleksis hate bc it's well founded and real. he is not a good person. he has ruined (and cost) many people's lives. he doesn't care about anyone but himself. my fic picks up where that thought leaves off, but that thought is essential to the enjoyment of my story!!

#i have become genuinely fond of him as he is in game over the course of playing thousands of Julianna invasions #I'm endeared by his general foolishness and theatricality and playing pretend and being a huge loser #but i am also realistic about him #and i would say my fondness for him NOW is down to how he is changing in my fic and what i have planned #but truly--you gotta start at the bottom #deathloop

I was trying to do a little catch up in nightbringer

I finished lesson 20 and they like joke(?) about moving to the human world and staying at the MCs home if they cant stay in the devildom

And i just wanna seriously consider the logistics of MC trying to house 7 other people

Most of us are probably living with other people (who may not be okay with sharing a space with so many strangers suddenly) and/or dont have a giant sized place

And this is assuming the mc is staying at a house and not an apartment....

#obey me nightbringer #dont think anyone will last a day in this situation. #realistically theyre all gonna probably have to share 1 room right.... #2 if we r lucky #at my home we have an extra bedroom and a living room #and the extra room technically belongs to my grandpa when he visits from ghana so... #id be like....yall gotta come up with some human identities and find jobs so you can move into a different place #im not trying to abandon them in the human world of course #especially mammon for several reasons #but yea.... #and outside of living arrangements mc would have to teach them to live in this damn world #and navigate new social norms urghh #my head hurts thinking about it #like “noooo u cant fuckin threaten people so flippantly when they piss u off unless u wanna make my life more difficult!!” #ik they could take ppl in fight sure but god #what if they get arrested #ugh sorry my mind is just going towards all the worst case scenarios lol #anyways im gonna try to start next lesson but im already getting tired of playing these rhythm games sigh
