as true as the jokes about “everyone wants to rewrite ninjago” are i feel like smthn people forget when complaining about the inconsistencies of the show is that…. it wasn’t planned? it’s not like most other animated shows lately - it didn’t start with a deeply fleshed out world or a meticulously designed pitch bible with grandiose plans for a long-term story or character arcs. the ninja don’t originally get their powers from heredity because they weren’t hereditary powers yet. the magic system doesn’t make sense bc they literally just made it up as they went! they go back and forth on stuff like whether non-elementals can learn spinjitzu bc it’s a collaborative piece of media made by people with vastly different levels of control over the story, the animation, the sets, etc. that varied over the course of the series. it’s totally understandable and exciting to see so many people reworking the early stuff with the lore and logic later seasons introduced but i personally feel that… if you’re doing that. you need to understand why the show is like that instead of writing it off as being bad and shitty. it was working with what it had. it’s only what it is now because of that awkward troubleshooting phase, not in spite of it

I've been doing a lot of grocery delivery in the country lately, so I ordered myself a nice bumper sticker so I fit in with everyone else's stuff :)
I've seen a lot of these lately, but they were all of a pride flag I don't recognize. Not sure which gender/sexuality has the red and white stripes with the blue with white stars in the corner, but I guess it's an ok design. The rainbow is the traditional LGBT flag, though, so I feel it symbolizes the collective queer community a little better and will be a little more noticeable/recognizable than niche flags, like this stars and stripes guy.

why is your twitter account gone?
I feel like my art gradually started getting worse since I started using Twitter... I was stressing over numbers instead of just doing what I wanted to, like I was before.
It's gone so I can fix that without any pressure. When I feel my art is sufficient enough, I'll probably be back with a fresh account.

Sometimes you are going to see a post that so clearly reveals the op lives in an echo chamber, and unfortunately you're going to have to deal with the fact that nothing you or anyone could say or do will ever be viewed as anything other than an outside attack.

Coworker at unpaid internship gave me a look for asking him to pick me up a chicken sandwich (& I said I'd etransfer him for it) while he and other coworker were already going to fast food place to pick up lunch. And when he gave it to me he sighed really loudly like this was the biggest inconvenience ever. Yeesh. Guess I came from a different office where we were always offering to pick up coffee and whatnot for each other. It was friendlier there. Maybe I'll offer to pick up something tomorrow as a peace offering?

Or the reason you’re overthinking it is because you’re just trying to find a reason to be mad at the game when you could use that energy at something else to make you happy instead of nitpicking at it.
I suggest you block my account and go have fun with the game unfettered by my takes, you have my Blanket Permission! I'm just a rando with a tumblr blog. Worry about your own happiness first.

to me it feels like fandoms have been getting meaner lately with the whole "fandom is mischaracterizing the characters and needs to revisit the source material" attitude
it's okay to get personally frustrated with the way others write the characters, but please be careful not to discourage others (especially younger/newer writers) from writing out of fear of getting the characters wrong, AND please remember that not everyone wants to hear criticism of the way they write (specifically side-eyeing the people who write negative fanfic reviews, which when I was a teenager it literally made me stop writing fanfiction for years, because I felt like I could never meet the expectations of others)
also, multiple people can look at the same source material and get completely different vibes/readings/interpretations of the characters, so just saying "revisit the source material" might not be as helpful if you're looking for an interpretation with a specific lens the other person just doesn't share
if you're frustrated with other people's interpretations lacking something you were looking for, it's helpful to see each interpretation of the character as "[that person]'s version" instead of trying to fit it all into a collective narrative of the same character. I find it's more accurate to accounting for the differences in interpretation, also for things like multishipping
also, you should write what you want to see for yourself, so you can show people your own version of these characters!

i still enjoy thinking about pollux in 14 because he is absolutely just. oh you can be a wretch in the gremlin way. like he would be a defected garlean who joins the ironworks. has the moral compass of nero but doesn’t have “prove your worth” issues nero had going for a minute. fuck it we ball kinda vibe. cid sanctions what he does because he is going to do the thing either way. he was in bozja when it blew up and is Totally Well Adjusted about seeing his boss be tempered by bahamut and the explosion there. worked on the g-force warrior from the sorrows trial series and wishes cid let him put more guns on it. the sort of “that was fucked up what happened with the ruby weapon huh? *pause* anyway what is going on inside this thing.”
edit: he would be mean Nero until the end of the omega raids at which point he still be mean to him but it’s in a stupid Rude way, but not like a malicious rude way. (I think about what nero says in the omega raids + ew role quests a lot bc he’s just some cool dude)

why did some people get ok with gender fuckery but then turn around and say sexuality is supposed to be rigid and make sense. everyone likes jokes abt being multigender until someone's a lesbian and a gay man at the same time.

obv donate to abortion funds do all you can with that but also just start being a fucking bitch when you hear someone being sexist!! recognize how women are sexualized and objectified in the day to day and make people uncomfortable for promoting sexist behavior!!! you can get your preffered tit size comments back when women arent being stripped of their rights at a federal level!!!!
