#the bitter taste in my mouth

[turtleblogatlast]

Sometimes I think about how the turtles are just kids, y’know? Just kids and yet it’s up to them to save people, save New York, save the world.

It’s honestly really sad. They were created to be soldiers and while they chose to protect rather than destroy, they remain soldiers all the same.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #it’s morbidly funny how the movie tries to push the whole idea of responsibility and heroism on Leo and the audience but uh #that’s a sixteen year old #and Raph is only seventeen #these kids became vigilantes for FUN and now it’s a responsibility all of a sudden like bro #it’s very heartbreaking to witness a childhood cut short #the boys are GOOD at heroism and being ninjas and saving people #but it leaves a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth when a kid acting like a kid instead of a Hero is presented as a bad thing #it’s why I was so happy to see Raph get to join in on the pizza stack competition at the end of the movie #but at the end we already see Leo much more mature in comparison and #I can’t help but feel sad about it

you know, i try to stay positive about how this fandom views non-binary people because i know we've done giant leaps since 2015 but god like. you'll see drawings of older frisk and chara in skirts and dresses and wearing makeup and low cut shirts that show off bra straps and big doe eyes and STILL use they/them which is good!!!! it's very good!

but i draw frisk with the slightest hint of stubble once and not even a minute after i post it they're getting misgendered in the notes. by people who were using gn pronouns a moment before. and I'm like wow. you really DO see us all as women-light don't you

#i try not to think about it because it got such a positive response too!! like there were so many people happy to see frisk look like that #whether they saw them as AMAB or just masc regardless #but like. they really got misgendered within the first 20 notes of that post. i just couldn't shake the feeling off of me #it never happened under any other one if my posts where i kept them more vague/childlike #it left a real bitter taste in my mouth #biscia hater moment

How I sleep knowing I'll never trust anyone that hates Sydney but worships Richie:

#the bear #the bear fx #sydney adamu #carmen berzatto #richie jerimovich #jk kind of #well on days I don't see or think about Sydney haters #under every damn comment section in this fandom is someone saying Sydney didn't take accountability #like I know we all have our biases but yall are really shameless about it #Sydney scored A LOT of Ws for The Beef AND The Bear #but one time she makes a mistake and justifiably walks away from a toxic work environment she's the devil #Richie worked at The Beef for years and Sydney did more for it in what less than four months than he did #on top of being a prick to Sydney in particular because she was changing things he wanted to keep the same #to the detriment of the restaurant but also everyone #and overall being unpleasant to Carmy #Nat and anyone that didn't find him funny or interesting or like his bs #pre-Forks Richie reminds me of those types of people that only listen to people that like them #and I love that because it's realistic to some ppl #I do like Richie #it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth knowing there are people that hate Sydney #ignore her accomplishments only to raise up Richie #in the same breath when the actual show is showing you what's up #like you'd think there were different versions of the show with how these two are perceived #I get this weird need to defend Sydney when people shit on her because I wonder how often said people treat the Sydneys of the world #but that aside #In Fishes Richie mentions something about wasting potential at the beef #In Ceres it's implied he called the popo on the dealers after Sydney deescalated a situation Richie previously dealt with #in an unorthodox manner #he recognised he needed to change but still was an arsehole to the one person who was facilitating that change effectively Sydney #this show is great but people denying what they're seeing on their own screens is crazy

as a multishipper it’s so weird to me seeing takes like “zolu (or sanuso) have so much in canon but zosan not really so ofc zsn shippers just see them as hot or smth but there’s nothing more” and others like it. first of all… thats a weird hill to die on. since when does canon basis makes one ship superior to the other. second of all: some people just don’t enjoy having everything already established and served on a silver plate. i love zolu with all my heart, they are wonderful and perfect in a lot of ways and interpretations. but what also clicks for me in a special way (and why i can’t let zosan go since i was 16, even tho they’re very much not a priority anymore) is thinking what would it take characters that incompatible fall in love. how would it happen. how would they behave and deal with it and be stupid but also vulnerable in a lot of ways. how would this develop and change them and their worldview. its fascinating! its cool when things are pretty much established in canon and two characters are written like each other’s half but. it’s so much fun to make it difficult and make it a journey. the conclusion is always so satisfying.

so no, zosan is not just “they hate fuck and its cool”

its being incompatible and messy and weird and angry but also trusting each other and respecting each other in so many ways. it’s “you know the worst of me but you still here and i trust you with my life” and also rethinking their view on love and

it’s not for everyone, sure, but it’s not so hard to accept other people’s taste and way of thinking instead of demeaning it or making it a weirdest competition. it’s not. (especially when it’s about literally two of the most popular ships on fandom lmao)

#one piece #zosan #roronoa zoro #black leg sanji #welcome to my random ramblings #i just see a lot of discourse lately and it makes me sad #i have like four and a half favourite zoro ships and also adore sanuso way more then zosan #but that attitude like im better then you because my thing is better in canon is kind of petty #and makes me personally wary and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth #most zl enjoyers are usually very nice though i love you all #unlike some other fans……. but well #i just think we would be more powerful together and not divided

Man, I don’t hate Loreen and I think Sweden deserved many points but fuck this.

#Johanna speaks #eurovision #esc 2023 #this leaves such a bitter taste in my mouth tbh

[mysicklove]

people who joke about beating children/murdering them and then justify it by saying its bc they hate them are so gross to me

#🔪 - mello talks too much #listen u dont have to like children #but joking about violence toward them is just...so weird #ive heard it so often #and every time it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth #whatever lol #someone said something weird on my big brother au...

i hate when news r like "bad news for x manga fans!!! author announces break for several weeks" idk man i don't think those are bad news at all, i'd rather have them take breaks and be healthy than die due to writing their manga without breaks

#like i just saw an article 'bad news for one piece: shonen jump announces eiichiro oda is taking a break' #and it left such a bitter taste in my mouth. that man has been working with little to no breaks on one piece for over 20 years. 3 weeks are #NOTHING #i like being dramatic sometimes and say what it'll be without my lil mangas but i'd rather have those author healthy than dying on that #drawing table #jo.txt

Confirmation of life. Covid predictably triggered a flareup of my chronic pain and now even the air hurts. And I can't take what I usually take for pain cause it'll interfere with the cough meds and paxlovid. So I just gotta do my best.

Cato tried to make me feel better. Woke up to about twenty socks on and around the bed that he had apparently brought me while I was sleeping, because he knows I think it's cute when he brings me a sock.

#tw: covid #unfortunately also found out the hard way about 'paxlovid mouth' aka constantly tasting #a really bitter taste that won't go away until i'm done with the pax #my symptoms are bad but at least i'm still at home #i don't want to know how bad this would be without the pax #dad also tested positive so sis is yhd only one still testing neg #but her throat hurts so i suspect she's got it too

[mercymaker]

bro, the 4am voices are truly the darkest, just add a dash of chronic pain on top and it's like handing me a lighter to absolutely torch everything and everyone I like

#life #i cover my eyes and ears suddenly i don't hear no nothing i don't see no nothing #the bitter taste in my mouth just spreads out to the rest of my body #so so bitter and petty and for what? #to wake up the next day and see the sun? to laugh at silly jokes? mhm thought so #but yeah nah the itch to just delete my work and maim and kill is strong at this hour #the darksided mel is fighting for the keyboard rights

I don’t know if Im gonna find a clip of it but they did a little bit of Nico talking about his maiden win in china. He said, at that point, that he doubted that he would ever win a race. After 6 years and 110 grand prix, he won his 111th. And it reminded me a lot of a driver who’s entered 108 grand prix, and joked about max being his competition for today because a win is so far fetched in his mind.

#f1 #formula 1 #lando norris #mclaren #nico rosberg #nico also said that michael was the all time best #but I think i can think of another 7time world champion #something about lewis having a championship before #nico had a race win #leaves a bitter taste in my mouth #china gp 2024

So, Olivia Wilde, who calls herself a feminist, while directing the movie Don't Worry Darling, threw her female lead under the bus, in order to keep her abusive male star in the movie, and when he left the project, she even went out of her way to present herself as that amazing person who took care of Florence.

Now, that's not very feminist of her, is it?

#i used to like her #but that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth #don't worry darling #anti olivia wilde #anti shia lebouf #florence pugh #scorpion-flower #we were the kings and the queues

Idk I’m just happy that I’m getting a fairly positive portrayal of Mace that’s true to what he is in the movies (so far). it’s making me seriously consider trying to find Shatterpoint

#his characterization in dark disciple left kind of a bitter taste in my mouth and this is refreshing tbh #star wars #sw #mace windu #aj reads star wars

I’m going to be binging Step By Step after I wrap up Make It Right 2 tonight. I’m so here for it. I really thought I couldn’t do it with work and life commitments, but I’ll make it work. In the words of @shortpplfedup​, I’m ready to watch a show made by adults, for adults, about adult topics. 

But also -- today’s Big Commentary about BL fans complaining hard enough about their fake ships to get an actual show edited is just....

Some of them need to go back to school for art comprehension lessons. Learn to read between the lines. Lemme just leave this here.

#i'm in a mood. #my old gmmtv challenge is exposing me to shows and performers that have gotten cancelled for not playing the ship game #and i'm seeing it play out today on twitter and tumblr #misinformation and rumors literally sinking careers #for what #the sake of fans needing fanservice? #it's fake. #it's performative. #it's called....acting. #let the mens do their jobs and go home and eat dinner and pet their cats and be at peace #i swear i think it was reading the insistence that first and khao were bringing their off-screen relationship into our skyy 2 that -- #left a bitter taste in my mouth for those eclipse eps #but i will transcend and watch them again freshly #without the influence of the girlies on my mind #i wish all the fangirls a very get out of your house and get some fresh air #put your phones down #set twitter on a limit #and go interact with real human beings #i'm so mad #step by step #step by step the series #oh also go watch the perth nakhun video about making BLs #and the ohm and perth video about mental health #because we are actually talking about the lives of real human beings who deserve privacy and respect. #people have forgotten about nietzsche and voltaire #get back into the books girlies and learn about art interpretation and power

"canon event" has ruined the conversation about any Spider-Man media, because people will use it to try to explain their arguments like the best example I have is that "Peter will die in Insomniac SM3 because it's a canon event" like?!?!!?!? huh??? even if he did, it doesn't mean it's a "canon event". who decided that it's a constant rule that every single writer working on SM must follow, now? I'm sure btsv will dive deeper into that and deconstruct it or something idk man I find the concept really annoying and limiting for writers who wanna create a different universe where none of these "canon events" happen

#t #I feel very torn about the concept #I dunno I know people like atsv but some of the things (like how they butchered m*guel but we don't have time for that) #left a bitter taste in my mouth
