A word of advice from a 10+ year X-Phile: the “Chris Carter is a sexist prude who hates romance and ruined his own creation” train, which I was on for many years, is not only a boring, frustrating train, but one that never takes you to a place that enhances your understanding or enjoyment of the show and its characters.

apparently this is like the hottest take in the world but I think it's really rude to invite people to your wedding without a plus one like I gotta come by myself to watch you get married because I'm not already married. ok

and like, to be clear, i don't mind if artists have a couple of fanart prints/items they sell amongst the rest of their stuff (ive got a little delenn postcard i take to some cons) which is v common among comics professionals since they work on stuff that isn't their own as part of their job, but when an artist's entire thing is just selling fanart merch i do honestly side-eye them quite a bit

i dont know where to scream about this but i honestly feel some sort of weird relief that r//nbow high is declining. i knoooow i know it's popular and they've been such high quality dolls and collectors have loved them and some(?) people like the web series (or do they? ive heard mixed things but ive never had any interest in watching it) but oh god. i just. sometimes it takes me awhile to appreciate modern doll lines and their aesthetics but i just could not get past their weird fish faces and in general i do not like monochrome styling themes. i realize their designers did so much with their concepts, i realize a lot of heart and effort went into them, and i completely understand why so many people were floored with the quality of the dolls and the rate at which they were being put out. even though the prices kept rising for them, you could at least see where your money was going, like they were always so well-constructed and doing new things. but like. at the end of the day. on a very basic level they were just never all that aesthetically pleasing to me and it was kind of maddening to see all that potential going towards a line of dolls that had just... like... facial proportions i could not get past lol.

As someone from an area where battles aren't that common, are there like... rules against a pokemon being too violent in battle? The other day I saw some trainer with six pokemon and pretty fancy clothes (i.e. not from around here) have their lucario absolutely thrash some kid's raticate.
Generally your pokemon has to abide by the local league rules. Outside of a place with a league it basically boils down to no broken bones and no blood drawn.
After that, they can get into serious trouble no matter where they are.

rant 🤪
i love my best friend dearly and spent three months after i got eras tickets trying to convince her to come with me bc i got extra and she kept just saying she can’t bc school this school that but now! a month before the concert! she’s like oh btw i was talking to [this other friend of ours, my og swiftie friend] and also some other people who are going and now i think i wanna go but i don’t have my schedule yet so i have to wait but i wanna go sooo if you still have the tickets lmk how much bc i want in but if you did sell the tickets it’s fine
mind you this is like 24h after i Finally came to terms w rly selling them (for AGES i was like. i wanna hold onto one more bc what if she wants to come so i’ll sell the others in a pair and my dad was like ??? you’re insane but whatever lol) and NOW? after talking to other people??? now you decide you want in????? and idk why i’m irrationally weird feeling abt this maybe it’s bc i am in fact exhausted but. girl ?? i spent months trying to CONVINCE yes convince you to wanna come and ???? nothing. but now??? bruh.
and to boot! my dad and this whole selling tickets for a fortune thing. he’s always been like ? you’re just lol gonna give it to her for face value? that’s a $1200 gift we’re talking about. and i’m like bro it’s not a gift lol she’ll be paying for it. but he’s like dude profit margins. and i really didn’t feel that way til yesterday when i was told (by stubhub or wherever i was looking) that my seats have been selling for upwards of $3k which is INSANITY in its own sense but yknow what he did have a point! and i know i’m not actually considering not giving her a ticket bc thag was my whole point of getting however many i could at presale bc. i do wanna be able to go with friends and have it be a whole time yknow?? but now i’m feeling petty and like. bro i talked this up for so long and it took. someone else’s opinion to get you to wanna come w me???
and don’t get me wrong we’d have the time of our lives she really is my best friend and my sister wouldn’t mind if she came (i don’t think) bc she’s chill and they like each other but also like. i’ve gotten into the mindset that it really is just gonna be me and my sister and i got underratedly hyped for it!!!! like yes she’ll be 13 but yknow what that’s such a blast and literal core memory for her i have no doubt about it. and now i’m like. maybe we Shoukd just be going alone not with other people even if it is my best frjend
UGH so many thoughts and honestly it’s not imminent bc obviously she didn’t commit yet but i’m gonna have to tell her she needs to commit or not bc i have to list the tickets soon so i’ll either save hers or i won’t but like. she needs to commit to it
🥴🙃🫣😵💫

o ruthless great divine director by lingua ignota 😇
1) ok accurate for realsies
2) there's only one person I know in the world who listens to lingua ignota, that anon button ain't fooling anyone
3) I misheard the first verse as "everyone I know is a fucking COCK" which I would absolutely say
4) this song is hot. I didn't know she could do a death growl

FINAL BALLOT. BTW.
I usually like to have a mix of dearly beloved popular characters who rank high and personal faves I think deserve alts (Libra my beloved) but this time. I think it's just a collection of the characters I'm most autistic about LMFAO, plus contributing to the Get Lon'qu An Alt cause and If Soren Doesn't Win This Year I'll Fucking Lose It cause.
Actually, thinking about it, I guess my first points still stand... all of them just happened to rank top 20 in the midterms this time though! (Save for Lonq ofc)

and i don't mean 'you're ruining piracy for everyone else' in a like. snobby i'm better than you because i know how to fucking google (even though i am <3) i mean you are getting all those stupid links taken down so fucking easily, making it harder and harder to find safe alternatives. share privately, learn how to rip things, learn how to to/rrent for yourself, learn how to type 'online free' in the end of your duckduckgo search or whatever. but all your masterposts are doing is making sure less people will ever actually be able to pirate those things
