Oil party's over! Fossil fuels dwindling, renewables rising, but eco-friendly power can't fuel our Kardashian lifestyles. Ditch endless growth, embrace sustainable living, build local resilience. It's time to swap SUVs for bikes, McMansions for co-housing, and kombucha for plastic straws.

re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!

#yelling at clouds #you cannot be tiktok. we already have tiktok.#there is a limited number of people on this earth with smart phones and the free time to rot their brains online #your goal cannot be Endless Growth you stupid fucking capitalists #like sure the site is confusing at first. because you have to learn how to use it.#be better at explaining it do not fundamentally change it there is no such thing as universally intuitive design

One of my favorite scenes in ep 6 is when Hob is telling Dream how much he’s lost in the last 100 years. From his wealth and social standing to his wife and children. How he made missteps and was branded a witch and was drowned. The reason why is of course in part because regardless Hob stays committed to his belief and love of life, but also because Dream is moved in that scene. He’s moved by Hob’s grief and then further moved by his resilience. It’s so lovely to me how much Dream wants him to continue loving life too. And when he thinks that perhaps the world has broken Hob too, he looks ready to cry on his behalf.

I also appreciate the interaction because typically the ageless being has to hype up the character who initially is written to be naively certain of their ideas about life and it’s worth; but that’s not what happens here. Hob isn’t driven by someone else’s assurance that life is good, he’s driven completely by his own. Even through all his grief and loss and even torture of his flesh he accepts it and he lives. Because he just fucking loves living.

#I think he’s SUCH a fascinating character #and I think it’s so lovely thay Dream came to value him and his perspective so much #because Hob doesn’t just love his own life he loves other people he loves being around other people #he loves carrying on alongside friends and lovers and children #even as they pass around him #or even turn on him #he stays fascinated and enraptured by people and growth #I just #I love him #Hob Gadling #Dream of the endless #I just adore that interaction #and THAT scene made me believe in dreamling btw lmao #the sandman #sandman #Morpheus #dreamling #but like not really #I just sorta expect y’all to tag it that way anyway

Something I love about the implications of the new ‘elemental’ weapons in totk is the idea that link is powering these things himself.

Like, in the first game the weapons were always on - they powered up whether they were being held or sheathed or even dropped. Give a monster a smack, drop it on the ground and it’ll light back up in a few seconds. Generally, this meant that link didn’t have magic, unlike other games in the series. Even the champion’s abilities were just that - the champion’s! He just indicated when to light it up!

But in totk it’s very different. Now, he’s crafting and powering his own gear. The gems were long theorised to be the main ingredient creating magic items, like elemental arrows or enchanted jewellery and armour, and now we have proof!! He’s even learned how to do it himself! Combining gems, or even monster parts to his weapons and lighting them up whenever he wants! Turns them on and off at will! He’s learned to channel magic sometime between botw and totk, something not all heroes learn to do! In fics he’s long been one of the few to have no magic talent whatsoever, and now that’s changed! Wild can officially join the ranks of the magic users!

There’s also the issue of where he learned it and who taught him, but the answer is pretty obvious, and speaks volumes of how far Zelda has come on her own journey.

interesting how people think this was a “happy” ending. on the contrary, everyone is in the exact position korn wants them to be. kp “ended” with korn winning and manipulating everyone again. therefore, it is not an end, but setting up a whole new plot.

korn killed gun before he could finish what he was going to say about nampheung. what was it? we don’t know. he said “history is written by the victors” when he saw the pic of kinn and porsche in love. he is using their love to his advantage and by making porsche head of the minor family, he eliminated a huge threat bc he knows porsche would never betray kinn. he has leverage over porsche and he can oversee everything. he has won.

korn is the one who killed porsche’s father. when porsche had his first flashback he saw gun sitting down and korn standing. so gun’s explanation seemed to be true. he was about to spoil a secret so dire that korn had to instantly kill him for fear kp would hear it.

now, there are so many loose ends to tie and plots to uncover. what is nampheung’s deal? was she pretending all this time? what was gun going to say? what was korn’s plan all along?

he is moving everyone around like chess pieces. at the end of the first episode, he began his chest match and said “let’s begin.” the events of whole show have been korn’s doing. he has won the match. if he has won, it cannot end there. there must be justice.

the way I see it, there is so much to go on from here with a second season. kinn and porsche still have to realise korn’s deceit. and the only way to take korn down is if kinn realises all this himself and dethrone’s korn by his own choice. with porsche’s help. and perhaps even vegas’s help. kinn still needs to grow into the strong mafia leader and be the true head of the main family instead of listening to his father’s orders. and the journey to that point is not easy.

#I don’t mean the relationship stuff btw bc kp and vp both happy thank god #I would love to see it #so much potential angst and action and growth #more badass kinnporsche #more politics #more power couple kinnporsche #plus we need closure for kimchay #and vegaspete exploration #so much to explore wow #character wise and plot wise #I feel like kinn’s character needs to expand more in that he grows into a strong mafia leader #and we need to see leader porsche in action bc I never thought I would see the day tbh #and Porsche/porchay and their mother - so much to develop there #there’s just endless MATERIAL it’s amazing #kinnporsche #kinnporsche ep 14 #kinnporsche finale #kinnporsche season 2 #mine

HE MUST DIE.#hey what i love is forever unrequited love. bc i love torture #there are bad ends where you have each other but its like obviously not good. yeah it can be sexy but obviously the toxicity of the #immortal endless bad end “loveWillNeverEnd” still remains as a toxic kind of thing. yes sexy but still fucked up and “incomplete” feeling #you have each other but at what cost? something is missing #for completion to break out of the cycle. finality of death. freedom from the torment of eternity.#UNREQUITED LOVE HE MUST DIE #idk im talking out of my ass i just love pain #in the idea of “loveWillNeverEnd” you are TRAPPPED. TRAAAPPPED INA CYCLE.#neither of you are complete. you are both holding each other BACK. there is all this space for growth SCREAMING at you both that youve #locked yourselves from #I WANT TO CRY AND I WANT HIM CRYING #FOREVER SEPARATED BY A BARRIER OF SOMETHING MISSING OR DEATH.#Hes long overdue for death i think.

I love everyone tagging their dreamling fics with ooc/ out of character because let’s be honest, every fic that has Morpheus in the same room as a healthy relationship is out of character, that man cannot maintain a relationship to save his life

#every time he opens his mouth in a dreamling fic is our of character #he’d rather die than be in a healthy relationship #because healthy relationships take effort and humility and communication and he has NONE of that #he’s sent people to hell for rejecting him #what makes you think he’d actually be able to manage a relationship with someone as stubborn as Hob??#he literally doesn’t believe in love: ‘love belongs to desire and desire is always cruel’#and with his track record?? I don’t blame him lmao #even if he IS the problem #but I think that’s what makes it fun #he can have a little non-canon compliant character growth as a treat #it makes my little ‘everything has to be canon compliant and historically accurate’ heart really anxious though #it’s an uncomfy feeling to type out certain dialogue lines and know that it wpuld never actually come out of his mouth #but I’m getting over it #do it for the fic #dream of the endless #morpheus #sandman netflix #the sandman #dreamling

Ya know I think Athena is the first person whose recognized he’s an asshole and dislike him for another reason than just “oh the show butchered and dumbed him down >:(“ like holy shit I didn’t realize how extensive his asshole crimes were like huh he yeah still is a villain. Sure he might not be “ill murder you in broad daylight” villain but he’s still a dick of villain

#that nostalgia gotta chokehold huh #also like obviously for a kids show that’s directed at preschoolers they’re going to make him lesser than og movie self #I do like the idea that he went insane and is stuck in a endless loop of no growth that’s pretty funny #miserable but funny #personally I think hook is fine but then again my attachment to Peter Pan comes from this show so

#saw a reply to a post that was like #websites only have apps to get more ad revenue out of you #and like. what i had to say about this wasn't the point of the original post so I'm making my own #but Reddit's mobile site used to be perfectly good and engaging #now it's changed layouts and stuff and it looks like the app. which we despise and hate and find unintuitive and user-unfriendly #which means what in practice? we're not using the app we hate it. we're just not on Reddit if we're not on the computer (old Reddit beloved #but it's not losing them ad revenue because we use an ad blocker so they probably don't give a shit either way #:/#saltposting #actually ETA I think a lot of things we hate about the Internet under late stage capitalism is. why does everything have to change layouts #all the time #for no good reason #like if it works there's no need to fix it #but nooo endless growth blah blah blah maximise user engagement blah blah blah money etc #how about retain the users you already have by remaining what they liked about you in the first place. ever think about stability?#there is a reason why we have autoupdates turned off on our phone and there's like 5 apps that are FORBIDDEN to update #Tumblr because we don't like the overhauls to the notes section (the ones where they're coloured differently based on read/unread #instead of on people you follow/don't follow)#Discord because the new layout looks like absolute shit and having DMs separate from servers would be hell for our processing #and ability to respond to both #our red filter app because it's gonna stop filtering wallpaper to comply with Android regulations and that's a no from us #are the main three but I think there might be others I'm not thinking of #anyway. yeah #I wish for predictable apps that don't suddenly throw new layouts at you every time you've finally gotten used to the last change #I don't wanna be kept on my toes real life does enough of that.

People need to stop using a "Karen" as a rebuke when it doesn't even merit the vitriol.

Asking a question or stating confusion on a story point? Not it.

Some of us have lives and other obligations that mean we don't have the time or spoons to back read over the whole story or even a few chapters as we want, when we are stealing precious minutes back for ourselves as it is.

If I was a Karen, I would be Boomering it up in retirement and wouldn't have this time crunch problem. I would re-read over everything because I would have more time than I know what to do with.

We can't all be your sort of entitled, whiny hypercritical bitch who has all the time in the world to be, K8lynnne.

#my brain has been out to lunch #because I've spent the past 4 months #waiting to have surgery on my child #to confirm she didn't have a cancerous growth #and yes the doctors knew when they gave me that schedule #then kiddo broke her wrist #life has been hell on wheels #let me just have content to consume #and enjoy it #without the same endless criticism fic writing became
