#its PROVOCATIVE

[satelliteduster]

oh my god i forgot to post my absolute favorite strip from gay comix (issue #2, 1981)

#this collection is full of so many hilarious vignettes #between the fictional and biographical they range from hilarious to saddening but theyre all candid looks at #lgbt life in the 60s 70s and 80s #id recommend it if you're interested in older underground work #edit: for ppl who notice the opening blurb i will say this: #1. Many artists in the underground comix scene (yes the lgbt ones too) delighted in being overly provocative for the sake of it #hence the cringeworthy 'political unity is not the goal' line #2. i worried abt this too when i started going thru the issues but there are quite a few strips and comics focusing on the trans experience #that said. there are unfortunately not a lot of transgender artists involved in this collection #3. given the preceding two points i think its fair to say that a good chunk of the strips in gay comix just. Suck #but like they actually said it's important that we're capable of recognizing that a full 40 years down the line #so we can actually learn something from the life experiences the mistakes and even the lack of perspective tht sm of these artists displayed #nocturnal writings

It’s really, really annoying how many women will wear bikinis and lowcut tank tops and see-through leggings and booty shorts with their buttcheeks hanging out, but then turn around and be all, “Men should be able to control themselves and stop lusting after me!” Like girl, we know why you’re dressed like that, you know why you’re dressed like that, everyone knows why you’re dressed like that. Stop pretending, lol.

#this used to be a libfem thing but now I’m seeing conservative Christian girls do it too #wearing provocative clothing and then throwing Bible verses at guys for looking at them twice #it’s so bizarre #girls don’t want to hear this but we share responsibility in helping our brothers in Christ avoid lust #do not go out of your way to be a near occasion of sin for your fellow Christians #like obviously this has its limits when it comes to dress #but there’s a difference between a guy not being able to control seeing an ankle or shoulder #and going out of your way to show off as much skin as possible #there IS a clear difference and I’m tired of people pretending there isn’t

the traumas of being very very small and very very tired and being offered poison (high quality kibble)

#dogblr #rory borealis #sometimes you just have to throw a baby tantrum for no reason #(honestly mood though) #after like 8:30 or 8:40pm she just walks around with her teeth out #ready to throw down at the slightest provocation #its been really fun having a puppy #i legitimately missed this #my face

#not dislike. its hate #it made me cry several times today #thinking of how my classmates manipulate our teachers #and chatgpt AIs can EVERYTHING #its so painful to think of it #today I broke down in the bus and cried #idc what people think. hiding my feelings any longer would destroy me from the inside #maybe youve also seen how people use freakin AIs in their exams #the thing is that: #we wrote an exam for which Ive studies for like 2 whole days #this week we finally got the exams back (w the grades ofc) #and ok Ive got a 3 (C in America syste #*m) #my friends who used chatgpt throughout the exam got way better grades (I didnt expect it otherwise) #PLUS #the most provocating messages from the teacher: #“10/10 POINTS :)” “YOURE ROCKING THIS” “YEAH” #💔 #seriously #this breaks my heart #dont the teacher see something suspect in the exam?! #why cant they open their eyes and get modernized to reality. #& they KNOW- the students Im talking of. they usally have bad results. #once our teacher came to a chatgpt student and said the most miserable thing: #“youve been using duolingo a lot lately hm? thats where your nice grades come from 😉🥰” #you get it? #no- this peoson didnt learn. #no- this person isnt even interested in the stuff we learn in lessons #AWFUL feeling to hear the praisings of da teachers when *I* gotta sit among the gpt-students and look like Im a worse student than *them* #[writing this at almost 1 at night] still have some tears. this topic really has the power to destroy someones day. 💔💔

when i say i am obsessed with him

#'indescribable insolence' <3333 #dumas writing aramis in '20 years after': #i am going to create a character that is so egdy sarcastic provocative and irritating to everyone around him #and im gonna make stirring shit being an asshole and gruesome murder his favourite hobbies #and he did just as he said. bless him. #most character ever #and what makes him even better is the contrast between 20YA!aramis and t3M!aramis. its hilarious. #my man really went feral. midlife crisis some call it. i call it character development of all time. i call it serving cunt. #aramis as a musketeer a soldier a man in a profession where you're literally paid for killing people: #sweetness and mildness personified writes poetry and theology essays in his free time never gambles dreams about dedicating his life to god #aramis as a priest: whooo boy i hope i get to fUCKING KILL A PERSON TODAY >:D #anyway. i love him a normal amount or something. #the three musketeers #alexandre dumas #anyway. i reread this scene and the charenton battle today because it's definitely in my top 3 aramis moments #also the english translation on the gutenberg page omits two lines of dialogue that i remembered from my polish translation #and it goes something like #de Chatillon says 'i think you're looking for a fight sir' to which Aramis basically responds with 'oh nooo you *think*? Imao'. iconic. #(and its even funnier cause that makes athos immediately go 'aramis stfu plz' and aramis just goes 'no <3' im obsessed with them) #vingt ans apres #do i have a #twenty years after #tag?? not sure tbh i think i dont but tagging just in case ig

thinking about Shang Qinghua as a calamity again...

#svsss #shang qinghua #technically counts as tgcf? #just the idea of sqh dying and coming back is so compelling because in canon he literally just going through the motions. he's given up. #he doesn't WANT to die (from mbj's hand– from cang qiong's fall) but that's all he sees. it's the only end he can imagine to his story. #so the act of getting him to the point where he WANTS to stay– where it doesn't matter that death has come to take him he's not DONE YET is #revolutionary to his character (his ‟character‟– his role as well) in of itself and requires some canon divergence to justify it #and it's INTENSELY interesting to imagine him getting there #Imagine: An Ding is cruel. It is cruel and inefficient and its cruelties only make it more so. Sqh is ‟awarded‟ with the role of Peak Lord #of An Ding (this crown of barbed wire). And sqh doesn't MEAN to change the plot but– it's awful here! It's so awful that it's OFFENSIVE #and before sqh knows it two years have passed and An Ding is a mess of growing pains: of infrastructure torn down and rebuilt #but it's... better. It's hard work. It undeniably sucks and makes sqh cry from frustration all the time! Balancing the fixing of all the #shit his shizun left broken while staying on top of his usual duties is a procession of sleepless nights and little pains. (perhaps sqh has #growing pains too. change is hard for all that it's necessary.) #and then– and THEN! He's on his way to a trade meeting or spying for mbj or something else: it's doesn't matter. #And however the stage is set sqh dies and– sqh's life is finally starting to NOT suck! yqy has been asking for his future plans and sqh has #been answering. qqq found a scrap of a picture book he wrote when he was a senior disciple and demanded he finish it because it #‟had potential to increase literacy‟! He has a second command that he trusts won't stab him at the slightest provocation! His life is busy #and more than a little hellish but it's HIS. He's changed things even he didn't mean to. #An Ding's HIS. he got rid of the assholes and poured so much WORK into the people left and then the people who came later. #All of it boils down to this: it's unfair. it's too soon. it wasn't supposed to happen like this. #and so sqh dies for the second time and screams himself back to existence if not life. #the system cracking beneath his teeth– puppeteer turned to power for the puppet to consume. #(So there is a ghost on An Ding for all that only the ghost knows it.)

I'm... kind of confused about this? Like Ignatz is basically saying the only way for people to move forward is by continuing to fight and destroy? That's a pretty awful message in general, but coming from Ignatz it just feels weird. It sounds like he's just accepted war and that it's just... something that happens so we should shrug it off and move on?

I know this game tends to have very strong pro-war/pro-invasion messages which is already really gross to me, but it went from being annoying and icky to just making me feel disgusted. Also, Ignatz of all people shouldn't just shrug his shoulders and be like well that's just the way of things, I guess! There's an active war going on so it makes sense that towns could be rebuilt and destroyed again. It doesn't mean just give up on it.

Also really doesn't feel like an Ignatz thing to say.

#DCB Three Hopes Run #I'll be honest I have very low opinions of people when I see them say shit like #Edelgard is in the right and it she was justified to invade territories #if there was provocation/she was attacked by another territory first I'd get it #but I can't sympathize with the concept in general of attacking another nation that has nothing to do with you #it feels absolutely disgusting and seeing people actually DEFEND that is extremely concerning about their real life values #especially when she's very open about how the purpose of it is conquest and not actually the Church #and no nobody can use the Faerghus sheltering refugees as an excuse bc she attacks them in both games #and they didn't shelter the Church at all outside CF. in Hopes it's just a reason the writers needed to be able to #make it so the game had a similar story to Houses and to give a reason so the war still happened #Faerghus was quite literally minding its own business and growing at an astoundingly fast pace #and suddenly they have to decide whose side to take in a war? they didn't want to go to war but they were forced #and Ignatz here basically shrugging his shoulders figuring it's just a way of life to be at war is... not a good message #people who initiate war do it for their own political and territorial gain and that's true of this story too #it's not a question of whether or not it was Edelgard's goal bc she just outright SAYS it is #like... she's not hiding it? she's not trying to dodge the fact? and like again you can like her character as a fictional character #but it would be like if I said I love Ashnard and bc of that I agreed with his goals ideals and values and that #he was justified in attacking Crimea and torturing laguz. he's a really cool character and I love what he brings to the story #but there's a fine line between finding a fictional character interesting/fascinating #and outright defending their actions and basically saying conquest is okay as long as you tell people it's for another reason #i.e. Edelgard gave the propaganda about ''for the people'' but that wasn't her goal. if it WAS #she'd be contacting Dimitri in those two years like hey I see you guys are making strides in your politics mind giving us some advice #if her goal was for the people she would've spent those two years for the people and fixing shit not preparing for war #it just... really leaves a sick feeling for me that people legitimately believe her violence is justified and that here Ignatz is basically #saying that war is just a thing we all should just accept. like... how is war the only way for humans to move forward??? #the one good thing Twitter does is that it tries to at least give sympathies to attacked nations #if this game was real you'd be seeing ''Faerghus attacked'' ''Faerghus invaded'' ''pray for Faerghus'' all over Twitter lmao #like if this was never a fictional story and if it was just real life there would have been only support on social media

finding out how many bylers are europeans rn is kinda fun ngl

#also the sheer number of you with different opinions on the same performances is SENDING me lmao #idk what Finland did but. its giving #'no one knows what it means but its provocative. gets the people goin!" fr #LMFAOOOOO #byler #the me tag #eurovision

my ascended astarion hot take is that i am the type of person to write an ultimate bad end for my favorite "good" characters so I'm simply ecstatic larian did it for me and how!

I want to write him at his absolute best and absolute worst. I want to crawl inside his brain like a tadpole and map out every wrinkle.

(and as for everyone else writing him differently for different reasons: great! have so much fun! 💕)

#dare i tag this #ascended astarion #bg3 #and as for the “you are only allowed to write him as abusive & morally bankrupt” crowd #my ao3 bookmarks are largely unapologetic noncon/dubcon dead dove #people can write or depict him however they please #die mad about it! #i will block with very little provocation 💕 #for the record i don't feel like these things even need to be said #but its the entire goddamned tag and I'm sick to death of seeing it so #consider these rent-lowering gunshots

The only notable opinion I have on the Barbie film is that I incredibly disappointed in myself that Ken was my favorite part of the film. Like seeing all the trailers I thought he was like Barbie's annoying purse dog and I already wasn't that thrilled about the idea of a 42 year old Ryan Gosling co-starring with the 33 year old Margot Robbie.

But... (spoilers underneath the cut and in the tags)

him becoming a disney-Renaissance antagonist by insirting a poorly understood patriarchy in Barbieland due to becoming radicalized in the real world???? AND THE KEN SONG AND DANCE SCENE ????!? RYAN I AM SO SORRY FOR SLANDERING YOU

Life changing 10/10

#in reality i would give the movie like a 6 #The production set and costume design in the movie where phenomenal #all praise to margot robbie's performance #and the montage of women and girls during the Ruth Chandler-Barbie talk was so sweet #but yeah this movie was exactly the 2010s milquetoast feminism glorified advertisement slop I thought it was going to be #I can kinda see where male reviewers pissing and shitting themselves about the misandry were coming from #but it was so... so/so? #like it was too inflammatory for men to be chill with it but too basic for it to be truly provocative #idk maybe its because I've read Dworkin #I've seen misandry you people couldn't even imagine #ohh boy here comes a bunch of tags #my spoilers #my post #Barbie #film

[mestos]

ill be honest but id rather take people who use kaomojis like :3 ^_^ >w< owo unironically than being a meangirl edgy dipshit asshole disguised as """""sarcasm"""""" online

#neesan texto #at the very least im ambivalent to kaomojis now #its lit the same as using any emoji to me at this point. Someone using anime girl disc emojis is the same damn thing #litrally watever #its miles better than someone being meanspirited to be quirky like 😭 #damn. u want an award for that uncalled for provocation? #my god im still malding
