#its fucking great so far

[ruthlesslistener]

idk how conservatives and other bigots can ever think that more diversity = less safe of a community. the more queer, interracial, and muslim a community, the safer i feel. like how can you not see a whole load of people from different cultures and lives peacefully vibing in the same area minding their own buisness and NOT go 'oh thank god theres some level of tolerance here I can just be myself and not have to be constantly on edge all the time bc of it'

#obv its not perfect but lemme tell you norcal so far feels a lot safer than socal #probs bc theres less wealthy republican texans fucking everywhere griping about 'mexican gangs' #aka the people who naturally fucking live there #i mean theres probably a bias going on for me too bc theres a lot of muslim women wearing covers here and that = family in my brain #and theres a lot of openly trans queer folk here (more than socal) #but still #i saw an older trans woman walk into the library today humming peacefully and instantly felt safe #most of the people here are brown or asian #everyone respects my pronouns and accepts them without a blimk #its fucking great so far

Ppl going "waaahh unpopular opinion but Alice is kind of annoying and obnoxious and I don't think I'd like be her friend irl" is so funny to me bc like.

God forbid a cast of characters be multifaceted and have actual flaws and unpleasant aspects other than "grr angsty hero" and "whoops i'm so clumsy". Sometimes character dynamics and arcs need to be prioritized above "who would i personally be niceys with irl"

2. bro just WAIT until you hear about season 1 jon lol

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #season 1 jon was obnoxious and sometimes a straight up ASSHOLE and you were supposed to find him kinda grating!!! #yes alice IS a bit annoying and too much sometimes (esp in the first episodes) and i love that <3 #like. its p obvious that she uses the over the top-thing as a shield (to push ppl away/as a defense mechanism/to avoid being vulnerable) #we see her drop the act sometimes w ppl like teddy and sam who she actually feels comfortable around (and who know and understand her) #but like. she's stuck in a job she hates and is kind of afraid of (she KNOWS smth abt the horrors and is keeping her head down to survive) #(shes obviously afraid of sam going to far bc she KNOWS its dangerous) #so yes her act gets too much sometimes and yes sometimes she crosses the line into straight up mean (esp against gwen) #(but their dynamic is a whole other can of worms) #but like. i'm pretty sure its supposed to be seen that way. the audience isnt supposed to just find her kooky funny #the facade is supposed to be dismantled by the viewer etc etc #kind of like SEASON 1 JON the obnoxious bastard!!!!!!! #like. if you ever think alice is too mean towards gwen pls listen to s1 jon again and how he speaks abt martin?? #from a position as his boss no less? ngl i wanted to throttle him sometimes #you kinda forget abt it in the later seasons and if you only engage w fandom content. but like. go back and listen to the shit #he actually says. jesus christ man. i remember kinda hating him in the beginning #and to be clear i love jon! i think hes a great character! #and like. its almost as if his early season personality and facade was an important setup for his character development #and relationships with the other characters??? #but anyway 'alice is kind of annoying' is not an unpopular opinion its literally the FUCKING POINT #and both her and jon are my sweet baby angels <3 #alice dyer #jon sims #(and obviouslyyy you're still allowed to dislike a character ppl can have their own opinions etc etc etc. i just personally find it funny)

wow I didn’t think reblogging that tea post and then seeing people’s tags would deal me such strong psychic damage. come over I can fix you I can find a tea you will like. “I don’t like tea” how can you say that as a blanket statement when there are so many vastly different kinds of tea. head in hands

#‘it’s like coffee but not good’ #while a cup of black tea does have a great deal less caffeine in it than coffee #it also has a stimulant called l-theanine which is NOT found in coffee #and the more complex combination of the two stimulants hit your system much more slowly #which is why tea doesn’t give you jitters like coffee does #anyone who’s like wow I need my coffee to survive but I hate that it makes me nauseous and gives me heart palpitations and bad breath #to you I say. wean yourself off coffee and onto tea!!!!!!! #but WAIT I can keep going. nauseous? ginger tea. sore throat? peppermint contains menthol which works as a numbing agent #green and black teas are both very high in antioxidants #chamomile and lavender do both have a calming affect #BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TASTE I hear you say #IT TASTES LIKE GRASS. try a floral tea or a black tea or chai or Thai tea #ITS SO BITTER you’re either steeping it for too long or the water you’re using is too hot #not to sound like I’m fucking uncle iroh or something I just apparnerlt have strong thoughts and feelings about tea #I can’t handle ppl going ugh I hate tea and it’s like. overbrewed lipton in microwaved tap water. #anyway MY favorites are jasmine and lavender earl grey #and currently I’m really into this corn silk tea my brother bought me at h mart #it’s like gen mai cha but even more #congrats for making it this far into my tea rant tags. if you comment your tastes I can give you a personalized tea recommendation

going to the dentist tmr for the first time in 5 years. and at 8am no less

#in my worst fears they will remove all my teeth bc theyre too far gone (not true) and be soooo mad at me or give me 1000 fillings or some #shit like that bc okay i know my teeth arent great bad genes + plus i rlly struggle w taking care of my teeth but I TRY!!!!! i really do #anyway just nervous. my anxiety has been so bad lately im certain its bc my lack of enrichment in my enclosure (been unemployed since oct #despite my best efforts) and so i havent really been out of the house much bc everything costs fucking money which i dont have but i do #believe that it is taking its toll!!! #h

i genuinely love when you can tell an older show was Not made with high quality video viewing in mind. i am watching knight rider and constantly seeing all the little mistakes they surely brushed under the rug thinking nobody would see them on their crunchy little CRTs back in the 80s, that are huge attention grabbers now in HD fullscreen on my 3 foot computer monitor

the biggest one of course is all the drivers/controllers for the (in-universe) self driving car, kitt. there's guys tucked down in the footwells who can't always stay out of the shot. there's a guy who has a Car Seat Suit to blend in and look like the drivers seat from a distance, but you can always tell when that's the method they're using for a particular shot because its so much thicker than the passenger seat next to it and the headrest is missing it's cutout section. in at least one instance he starts taking the suit off too early, on a focus shot of the damn car, so its REAL visible.

all the extremely obvious stunt drivers or performers who look nothing like the character they're supposed to be

props, such as animals, vanishing from the car interior for stunt/race sequences.

the production crew (or their shadows) being visible in the background. only at a glance, but its especially hilarious in shots where nobody else is supposed to be around

the camera panning out from a sound stage set far enough that you can actually see over the edges of the set and into the stage they were filming in. mostly this happens with their truck trailer mobile unit thing.

this one isn't a mistake but every time the car "turbo jumps" they CLEARLY hide the ramp behind another car, a prop, the environment, and its just. so charming. sometimes its blatantly on screen just for a moment. like... of Course in real life this car isn't magically leaping 20 feet, of course its a ramp, but it's still so silly and fun to be reminded of how they were doing those stunts to begin with.

also not really a mistake but related, the bracket they keep on the front of the car for stunt work.... is just left on half the time. cuz it's a pain to take on and off.

and there are more examples that are more unique that haven't cemented themselves in my head well yet, but these are the more notable or common things i see and it's really charming. if i'm not giggling to myself noticing the "seams" and flaws and so human imperfections of your show or movie what EVEN is the point. hollywood is too flashy these days i think!

#liz blogs #knight rider #kr #tv production #1980s #television #i dont even know if this is a 'older tv' thing or if its just a knight rider thing because i've seen all of classic columbo at this point #and i think i can think of... maybe one or two times you saw the edges of a sound stage room. and thats it #i dont know Why its like this i dont know how common it is for shows of the era but i love it to bits. cannot get through an episode #with somebody without pointing out the quirky little things i notice. #y'know what hollywood really can burn there is such a great backlog of media to watch #i need to gif that guy pulling off his Seat Costume in the MIDDLE of the SHOT. that was so fucking funny. my favorite blooper so far #a lot of these have to do with kitt bc he IS a prop but its extremely funny how hard they push the 'HES INDESTRUCTIBLE' thing #and every other boost landing has the car looking like its gonna snap in fucking half like a twig. got some ROUGH landings #i wanna know how many stunt kitts they went through they really beat the shit outta those cars sometimes #i think if this show were free on streaming like columbo way more people on this site would like it it is a weirdly charming little show

[ID: an illustration of Delores as a mermaid swimming in a pool and looking at Five. It is a distant overhead shot in 3 point perspective. They are in the ruins of what might be a courtyard or a bathhouse. The color palette is made of teals, oranges, pinks, and yellows. Also in the ruins are a handful of trees and plants, a stone bench, and a frieze of a mermaid. End ID.]

i dont really know what this is. why is delores a mermaid? what is this building? why is there a mermaid in it? what does this have to do with the umbrella academy? where did five find a mermaid? all of these questions and more are completely unanswered and you can decide for yourself. i just wanted to draw a mermaid, and tile, and five and delores, and a statue, all at the same time. enjoy!

#tua #the umbrella academy #five hargreeves #delores tua #dolores tua #five x dolores #five x delores #i dont know what the tag for their ship is. surely there must be one right? #in which i continue to prove that the best i can do re: ship art is two people sitting kind of next to eachother lmao #greatest tragedy is that koi fish go great with the color palette but i cant invoke koi fish imagery willy-nilly in this fandom #all bafflement about what the fuck kind of au this is aside #i am so pleased with the colors #i used color palette reference for this which i never do and it turned out great #my art #mermaids #mermaid #ruins #apocalypse #its probably too far down to put visibility tags but its worth a shot #also for the eagle eyed among you there IS a spicy mermaid statue nipple #i chose not to mark this as mature because it is microscopic

the sylph of light has been waiting a very very long time to meet you.

#homestuck art #homestuck #aranea homestuck #aranea serket #im still sooooo mentally ill over her i rlly thought id go through the SLOG that is openbound and be like #nah araneas cant be as great as a character as i remember her surely i have been far too influenced by my own interpretation #no shes still fucking awesome to me just wholesale. shes an awful person but so good at making you think shes not #and the way she had those panels where she was paralleled to a2 dd made me go fghdfghergsr bc YEAH #she DESPISES being rushed and dd: ascend more casually just further inspires that parallel for me #it truly encapasculates how much of a passive class sylph is like. you know?? YOU KNOW?? #and further contrasts vriska and araneas personalities bc vriska SUCKS AT ACTUALLY MANIPULATING PEOPLE #SHES JUST A TEENAGE BULLY. #but aranea only needs to use her words and its like #of course the beforus trolls dont like her. bc they *know her.* aranea seamlessly worms her way in with the meteor crew and the a2 kids #because they DONT know what shes really like #and now that meenahs back she has a friend that makes her seem more *reasonable* by comparison #serket mind gaaaaames!!! #anyway. i adore her. im glad that she was a fucking idiot.

i finally got around to centaurworld's finale and holy fucking shit??? they can go that hard??

#god i cannot put into words just how fantastic that finale was #it just makes me so... disappointed that the rest of s2 was so boring #like i had to rewatch s1 when it came out before i could actually appreciate it because its so far from my kind of thing #BUT THE FINALE FELT LIKE IT WAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SHOW? And it was RLLY GOOD #that last episode practically carried this season holy fuck. #the nowhere king is such an amazing villain and i am just so confused . #i wishhh s2 focused more on picturing the past for us and answering s1 questions and maybe even developing characters like the princess #(where did she even go actually i didnt see her in that last scene) #because i still have questions about some things but they come from a place of pure interest in the world only because of this last episode #girl i dont know how to word this at all. i feel like we couldve had something great #anyway s1 is fun as an introduction to the show s2 is boring because i expected more answers about the past and im not #as interested in the centaurs anymore but i liked the main casts backstories i guess and the finale was pretty amazing all around #this show just keeps bouncing around for me lol. also it feels like the cast had so much fun with it. i wouldve too! love that

revolutionising the world w my nanami video essay someday i promise you guys. in the meantime this is a playlist of daise approved utena video essays if you even care. i have um’d and ah’d about including the clear and sweet aou analysis series bc i think it’s wonderful in so many ways but do disagree with the fundamental read of the movie so. ehh. my general rule for including something on this playlist is ‘the analysis must be considered, somewhat original, something that i either agree with or think is valuable to keep in mind’. if there was less ‘the series isn’t as good’ and half-reaching at what my interpretation of aou is, then that aou series would probably be on here. i do recommend it but it just doesn’t feel right to have it on here sorryyy

#what else do i recommend. there are fun podcasts #i listened obsessively to the shadow play gays during my a levels. like literally that’s what i was thinking about going into my exams #absolute destiny a podcast has some great moments and some utterly baffling ones #ive not finished listening to the rgu and aou eps of wizards vs lesbians but enjoyed them so far #vrai kaiser’s guide is also wonderful #i hate the noralities videos and those la duellist videos are v lacking imho. but that’s just me!!!!! love and light #oh also just go peruse the empty movement essays. some of them are rubbish and some of them are fucking phenomenal #we view the palace perspectives as required reading in this house despite taking such fundamental issue with some of its arguments #dais.txt

starting to become obsessed with saix. i have to be real. like one of the only org members that it seems like really believes in the org. actually takes his job dead seriously. the days manga dynamic of axel specifically having to go toe to toe with saix to protect roxas and xion and their old connection slowly fraying because they can’t understand each other. joins the org AGAIN. VOLUNTARILY. when he gets recombined. has COMMITTED TO THE BIT. goes back on all of this instantly and completely and becomes normal and decides to help axel coparent his two kids immediately after 3 no hesitation. That’s what dying in a man’s arms does for a guy.

#pers #dot com #kh #like saix. it was fucking INSTANTTTT IT WAS INSTANT. WHATS THE DEAL ! #the days manga axel saix dynamic is something i think about a lot #its great characteri/5&@‘ for axel bc of how far he’s willing to go for the kids #against someone he was once realy really close with!!!! like it’s so interesting. #love the concept of the post 3 dynamic where roxas and xion are just like. BOOOOOO AXEL WE FUCKING. HATE YOUR LAME IDIOT BF!!!!! BOOOOOO!!!

Is it impossibly cynical of me, when I see posts about reddit users finding tumblr so cozy and non-confrontational, to think to myself, "Oh honey, give it a year."

I mean, I came back here for reason, but I'm just saying, let's not pretend tumblr isn't also a PvP enabled zone. 😅

#it gives me such... #new fandom vibes #you know how when somebody's brand new to a fandom and they're like #'WOW this fandom is amazing! #everyone's so friendly and welcoming! #there's no drama like in OTHER FANDOM!' #like it is practically guaranteed they won't feel that way in 6 months to a year. #reddit has its own problems. for sure. #and some of them are unique to the way it's structured #but let's not get too far up our own asses about great tumblr is #fuck it i'll make this rebloggable #pvp enabled

I really am so obsessed with the concepts presented in Warframe.

The tenno were once the soldiers of the oppressors, they were the blade of the revolution, they became the legend of the oppressed, they are an ever present ghost whispered about in fear by the oppressors of the current age. They are back with blade and gun in hand.

And then you find out they're just kids. Traumatized kids, experimented on kids, war trained kids.

Kids that made a deal with an eldritch entity that gave them psychic powers. So now they can control magic robot ninja warriors made from blueprints designed by injecting a bioweapon into soldiers until the scientists got the results they wanted.

Insane little game. Absolutely full of nonsense. I love it.

#girlbob.txt #warframe #its far from the best told story but god i love it i love the shit reb comes up with #her and the team just fucking go places and its great #and its so funny how many people jump through hoops to overexplain some parts because its clearly just 'eldritch entity' #but they need everything to make perfect sense

Panels from the One Minute War Flash Special:

You know... I was wondering when they'd accidentally stumble headfirst into a not-so-nice speedster.

They've been so busy playing tug-of-war with the golden retrievers that they are completely oblivious to the fact that they just wandered into the den of some blood thirsty wolves.

#seriously they've only been dealing with the Flash family so far #so its great to see them actually come face to face with one of the many many many serial killer speedsters #cause uhhhhhhhhh thats a whole other ballgame my dudes #good fucking luck with that one #dc #dc comics #the flash #one minute war

Fun fact, in the DR Development Plan, Fuyuhiko tries to invite the imposter to join the yakuza. Imposter saids no and then proceeds to read Fuyuhiko; "You're a good man, Fuyuhiko. Honorable as they come and pleasant company." 1) I feel like the Imposter is super empathetic to understand/take other people's identities. Hajime and Imposter works together to make sure all their classmates are doing well. 2) Would Kazuichi be upset he wasn't invited to join as well???

Anon u got me very happy rn

#Which is how I know I'm in too far FUCK #When someones like 'hey ur fave is Canon Good' and I'm like 'OH FUCK YEA' oh no. Investment #Anyway that makes me very happy bc its TRUE HE IS A GOOD DUDE HE IS #Also Impostor is so goddamn nice and smart I love him more the more i find out about him #I feel like Kaz is upset every time hes not invited somewhere but hes definitely not Major Crime Material sorry Kaz #Or. Not sorry. Major crime usually isnt a great thing lol #Not an art #Talky talky Tuesday
