#superior being moment

[katyspersonal]

So, I smoked a new Placidusax idea...

Alright so uh... I've noticed at some point during that battle that Placidusax looked like he (?) had severed heads: three severed and two still remaining! It made me recall that there are also exactly three other -sax dragons in the story (Fortissax, Lansseax and Gransax). So like, what if these three dragons somehow grew up/evolved from these severed heads? BUT but but!!!! Turned out that a certain discovery from Zullie can explain even more on this:

(In this ( x ) Tweet)

So, guuuyyyys? We have: 1) Placidusax currently has two heads remaining, male and female one 2) Male heads are bigger than female ones 3) Original look suggests three female heads and two male heads 4) Gransax is bigger and we know is male 5) Lansseax is female and is a sister of Fortissax whose gender isn't stated

So based on this, I think that Fortissax would be female! And I think the idea about these other three -sax dragons somehow existing from the severed heads of Placidusax might work, at least the numbers and internal filenames fall into place 🤔

#failing the 'not be autistic about hidden files' challenge again I c #elden ring #dragonlord placidusax #elden ring headcanons #elden ring observation #use later #yet again interesting how he has 'split' gender #we know at least two demigods with the same thing (Marika and Miquella) #(well yeah I mean Trina thing is a theory but it seems to fall into place just right ok) #superior being moment

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).

And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?

Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.

Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.

And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.

Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

#squiggposting #and like dont get me wrong barber wasnt trying to make cybertronians the bad guys or whatever #it's just a problem with his writing where like. he has A Message he wants to send #and so he uses the entire story literally just for The Message even if it involves bullshit plotlines #or familiar characters ppl were reading about for the past decade being shit on by OCs made up to fill a new roster #like barber's writing tends to lean way too much on a sort of lecturing tone #without giving proper care towards including moments where characters get to like. fucking express themselves and share their side #sort of like how barber couldnt be bothered to write pyra magna and optimus actually talking to each other during exrid #and instead during OP ongoing pyra is suddenly screaming about how OP is unteachable #even tho she never even tried to teach him bc she and OP never interacted bc i guess barber couldnt be bothered #he just needed someone to lecture OP so fuck making the story make sense or like letting OP get to say anything in defense #this is the infuriating part of barber's writing bc i think he has incredible IDEAS and was in charge of the lore i was most interested in #but most of the time his execution sucks and he's basically just mid with a few brilliant moments occasionally #or like he has a message about the cycle of violence he wants to convey #but his narrative choices trying to convey that theme made his story come off as super unsympathetic to the ppl who suffered #to the point where barber actively kneecapped some scenes that couldve been super fucking intense and emotional #in favor of the characters lecturing each other or some stupid plot to criticize OP #that time in unicron where windblade screamed about how this is their fault and then arcee replied that her planet is build on coloniation #shouldve happened more often than literally the last series of the ocntinuity. like goddamn stfu about your moral superiority #when your own sins are right fhere lol

You prob won’t see this but hi! I follow you and your beautiful wife bc of your love for black women and life tips! I wanna share a story that happened yesterday where I was harassed in a gas station by an aggressive black male security guard and get nonblack poc feedback bc I no longer feel safe around black men and just curious to what advice or thoughts you have.

Last night I walked inside a pilot gas station to use the restroom where I wore a yellow camo track suit with the hood up bc I was cold. The security told me to take my hood down even tho there was no policy where I could see and followed me to the restroom door and called me out my name (I heard him thru the door), after I finished in the restroom I went to confront him at the register he was hiding behind where we got into a heated verbal exchange , I cussed him out amd I hurt his ego evidently bc he felt the need to follow me outside to escalate it but I outtalked him and got in my car. I never took my hood down. I went back in the gas station with a girlfriend for water after informing her of what happened where he then tried to make me remove my hood again and tried to encourage the women at the registers to refuse me service bc I wouldn’t remove my hood, we got into it again. He was aggressive, approached me slamming his hand on the counter, got loud, and sensitive bc I got the best of him twice verbally and in the end I still got the water and never took my hood down; the nice white lady at the register took my money from my friend who paid for it, the black woman at the register was a m@mmy. He nitpicked my outfit and physical appearance but ppl passing thru wore hoods and had pants hanging off their asses, tummy shirts, brought dogs in the store, but was never harassed like I was. I don’t have a problem following a policy but I won’t follow a policy when it’s enforced on me but no one else. So I called the police and they told me to file a complaint with corporate and see what I can do about it so I will be calling them in the morning. Did I mention the security tried to get me banned for trespassing just bc i didn’t back down and verbally whooped him?? LOLL!!! I’ll be carrying a switchblade from now on and learning to shoot a gun real soon!

Read my tags. I'm assuming you're a bw? It doesn't take all the hoodrat buffoonery Glocktavious displayed to ask someone to remove their hood. Talk to a lawyer, they'll help you go about prosecuting Dustavious the right way. So unprofessional. I hope this isn't a late response, I don't really check Tumblr lately or read every ask but yours grabbed my attention. You did the right thing! Always stand up for yourself. You're a savage for checking his ass. Never be afraid of a man, & keep a weapon on you. 👏👏👏👏Insecure, pussy "men" pick fights with women, they think being aggressive & loud intimidates you & they never prepare for a strong retort that shuts their shit down. My completely honest & straightforward unfiltered pov: We need to address the fact that the bullying of bw is a problematic behavior that is perpetuated by bm primarily (not all, but atp it's so common it might as well be). You'd be better off opening up your dating options to men outside of your race, tbh. (Be very selective & careful when itrl dating). Non-bm build their communities & protect their women. [Redacted] That's why I don't understand why some ww leave wm, who have privilege & power, for bm, who 9/10 don't have anything to offer except dick, kids & struggle love. Even when bm manage to have success it doesn't change their crusty ass mentality. I recently learned that a bw is killed by a bm every six hours. [Redacted] Bm are the only race of men who publicly bash, degrade & bully their race of women while praising, fetishizing & worshipping non-bw. But you can't expect men who hate themselves to love or value you. I see the bs bw have to deal with daily & it saddens me. I feel like they target bw cause they think it'll make them men & acceptable in the eyes of wm, it's embarrassing. [Redacted] I can't imagine treating my baby like that. [Redacted] I'll never post or reblog a "this is a safe space for everyone" post. It's not. I don't post for them. I don't want racists/colorists in my space where bw & woc tell me that they feel safe, seen & protected. I gatekeep my blog so that you're safe expressing your feelings here. I thought it was obvious since I never acknowledge bm but it needs to be said. I 100% agree with the bw advising bw to choose higher quality men. You should watch Cynthia G & Paris Milan on YouTube & other black women who cover domestic & racial topics, it's very educational & insightful, they offer a lot of perspective & I agree with so many points they make. [Redacted] The best advice I can give you is to run & never look back. Good luck. ❤️

#you can sue him personally for discrimination & verbal harassment & file a complaint with corporate #If you're banned from the store then you can have the cops get his information & press charges #once corporate finds out about the incident he'll more than likely lose his job #Make sure to stress that he intentionally embarrassed you by making a scene followed you to the bathroom & outside of the store in attempt #to escalate the situation he was highly aggressive & approached you & that you felt scared for your safety which caused emotional distress #those are super important details & ultimately where he fucked up #& if you're able to write down the date/time this occurred & have the camera footage obtained by police & your friends as witnesses #it'll help your case #The moment someone loses their cool & lowers themself even lower than they already are you already won #As you go through life the more jackasses you'll encounter & you'll become so immune that shit won't even anger you the way it used to #Speaking from experience #I don't see him living long cause losers who fuck with people & think being loud & ghetto gives them an upper hand never live a long life #toxic masculinity is a fear of strong women masked by a fraudulent superiority complex #he's corny asf if the only thing he could think to call you was ugly like what guy doesn't automatically run to that as an insult? #They even use it when they get rejected it's always that or 'bitch' cause they're sooo original #they're tiring #long post #ask

Okay, but one of the best things about Lice is the sheer amount of mutual pettiness it showcases between Zim and Dib for an episode that doesn't have them saying even a single word to each other

#invader zim #zadp #zade #iz posting #natterings #zim laughs at dibs expense one (1) time #and then dib gets to spend the entire rest of the episode reveling in his agony #and honestly I can't even hold it against him given it's usually him who ends episodes in such uh #catastrophically unfortunate situations #enjoy it while it lasts buddy it'll be you again next week #sidenote anyone ever think about how thoroughly this experience must've cemented zims convictions #about falling victim to horrible experiments the moment hes caught #the humans were allowed to discover *one* thing different about him #and immediately set about painfully exploiting it #plus between the lice goon running up with the 'discovery' about zims skin #and his uncharacteristic placidity #I kind of take it as implied that there WAS more experimentation between the 'my superior skin' scene and lice queen #oh and another sidenote #how do you think dib felt about being doused in his alien nemesis's liquefied skin #do you think he got home later like “SHIT I SHOULDVE TAKEN SAMPLES”

Gabriel: I promise you I'm going to regain control over Adrien and seize all the Miraculous. Ladybug's, Cat Noir's and the Peacock. As it turns out, Félix had the bright idea of leaving this behind during has last visit. (Hands Tomoe the special high-tech lens Félix dropped during his investigation of the manor in "Risk".)

I realize this is small potatoes in the large scheme of things, but why does Gabriel have that lens in the first place? We see Adrien pick it up TWICE. End of Risk, and beginning of Strike Back.

Admittedly we don't see what he does with it but I had ASSUMED that this was leading somewhere.

Mea culpa, I suppose.

#ml salt #miraculous ladybug #look all I wanted was for Adrien to get the hyper gothic 'my mother's corpse is in our basement' moment that his cousin got #is that too much to ask :( #It is endlessly frustrating to me that real-life adult projects just are and end up being just as shoddy as school group projects. #And for the exact same reasons too! overwork. pressure from superiors. disagreements. #I'm telling you friends illusion DESTROYED

How does somebody whose only shipped lesbian ships before become so obsessed with Erehisu?

Y'see, anon, it's a little something called "bisexuality"

#i actually watched aot becuz of yumihisu but then i read the manga and i slapped my head and said #'shit why did they cut off so many scenes of them together' #them being erehisu #and then ymir fritz dropped and THEN i listened to that Linked Horizon song where a baby wailed at the end #then im like yooooooo fcuking hell theyre future parents to this poor girl omggggg #honestly i stumbled into erehisu by my own becuz after reading the uprising arc in the manga i felt like i had to do the ship justice #just cuz how overlooked it was and how i realized that they probably had the better chemistry #the more i looked into their characterizations and parallels to each other #like them being burdened putting up a fake facade just for others and having to come to terms to it #as well as the way their family shaped them (carla frieda and freckled ymir are the goats) #it wasnt much back then BUT THEN i read apple and lamp theory #and its soooooooo fucking beautiful it just seared into my mind forever. #Enemies To Humanity is something so unbelievable yet fascinating to me as a dynamic but it all clicked the moment i put it in its context #i dont support whatever the fuck the alt-right part of the fandom has of it thats another ball game #i ship erehisu in the way i percieve it to be the most fitting to the mature themes of the story #its not the first 'straight' ship i liked but it IS the first ship where i think it's ultimately superior to others including the wlw ships #thats why im so obsessed with them

[cakerollk]

common thing I see in regards to m/f shippers criticizing mlm ships is that they're boring and that they're fetishizing gay people...which yeah, these criticisms are valid. cuz its def a reoccurring thing for shippers to slap two conventionally attractive guys together and call it a ship, and ofc those who just reduce the male characters into boxed tropes for the sake of shipping.

but then these same people will apply equally limited labels to m/f ships with the whole 'hes a guy but hes the WIFE hes the WOMAN in the relationship, meanwhile she's the GIRLBOSS and the MAN. but see its so much more interesting bc these traditional roles are REVERSED'

im sorry but that's nothing innovative!! why are you calling other people boring when you are too!!

#the call is coming from inside the house eeek!! #ship what u want but the moment you start being a hypocrite n act like you're superior than other ppl? we have a problem!!

ty betteridge is NOT a gaslight gatekeep girlboss

#woe.begone #he's middle management AT BEST #guy who wakes up looks in the mirror and tells himself he believes that the ends justify the means #clocks in for his 9 to 5 at the human experimentation and torture facility #and then every time he starts to waiver about if this can be justified by *any* results gotten out of it #takes a moment and reminds himself that at least one iteration of ty betteridge is out there madly in love with a cowboy and free from this #that he can't let that doubt linger or settle in the ends have to justify the means the compound cannot find out about the duplication leak #to be clear this is NOT a ty betteridge apologist post #but also at one point his superiors told him he was no longer needed and he lined up neatly and walked willingly to euthanasia... #character that is lying directly to your face about being in control of the situation and having his own agency #w.bg

Imma say something controversial. Femboys are the new tomboy, and its just as annoying.

#unfollowing some of the more obnoxious ppl about this #yes this is abt some ppl being real obnoxious abt em in tumblr 40k rn #like what you like whatever #but dragging it into the stupid fucking culture war drives me insane #also acting like your the better person bc of it is just as pathetic #like i have my moments where i feel i have superior tastes #but i know how to shut up #and not spam shit #or project my fetishes onto unconsenting real life strangers

[thosemintcookies]

I'm also really just obsessed with the idea that you're given the option to hit on women harry finds attractive despite astronomically low odds of success (as its something harry even thinks to do) and it takes him like 4 hours to come up with feminism and even then it's performative and imperfect like obviously he's weird about women

#love my misogynist king #hdb #disco elysium #so i took the communist route and i think by the time i got to the deserter it was also a huge gut punch moment #being weird and possessive about women who do not care you exist. being bitter that other people are doing fine. #all the while getting so caught up in The Good Ideology and thinking it makes you superior rather than pathetic

Just as places are often mysterious, lost, dark or secret in Gothic fiction, so too are its characteristic times. Gothics often take place at moments of transition (between the medieval period and the Renaissance, for example) or bring together radically different times. There is a strong opposition (but also a mysterious affinity) in the Gothic between the very modern and the ancient or archaic, as everything that characters and readers think that they’ve safely left behind comes back with a vengeance.

John Bowen, “Gothic Motifs”

#dracula daily #a quote I use often when teaching gothic fiction #the 1890s are a moment of intense transition #the characters in dracula don't only not know they're in dracula #everything they are seeing is in direct opposition with their entire world outlook #their self-assurance in their own reason and rationality as modern people of the modern 1890s is unalienable #it would never even occur to them to see this happening and assume it was supernatural #even suggesting such a thing would be enough to see yourself thrown in an asylum #(this total disavowal of Old World superstition also dovetails with their unalienable belief in their superiority as Englishmen #and as Protestants) #belief in vampires and demons is Old World #it's Catholic #it's Continental #it is everything that their entire society constructs itself as NOT being #and it's going to get some of them killed #Bram Stoker was a square but he knew what he was doing

[cherrymoonvol6]

been thinking non stop about the choice of making jack wear the cat costume and kent match with a mouse...... what did ngozi mean by that. was kent simply too desperate to come up with any way to link himself to jack. was he too much of a coward to go for a dog. was it planned... and if so, what are the implications of kent being the mouse? feeling like the prey to jack's hunting? when in reality it happened in the exact opposite way? i need to dunk my head in the ocean

#jackparse #he's a mouse. duh #jack is the dog kent is the cat this is the obvious association #but the fact that the obvious wasn't chosen just..... HAUNTS me #i keep thinking about the jobros line 'i resort to being speechless / cause our love won't survive' #like if we don't ever talk to each other maybe we can keep some semblance of connection between us #because the moment we actually have the conversation it will truly be over #the hope for all the hopeless...... in the worst of trying times............. #(don't speak might be one of the songs i'd use as an example of why music's way of storytelling is superior. no joke)

billions(tm): it's incredible how we just provide a little snippet of material designed to be "guy we all want to push down the stairs immediately somehow" and through this amazing acting alchemy it becomes gold. electric. magnificent. we can't get enough so we will just keep writing this loser character and the actor will somehow keep bringing the dazzling transmutation through his ability
