barnes getting absolutely sick of all the lockwood and co pregnancy rumours and secretly being scared some of them might be true so one day he orders a mandatory sex ed class with the entire company with like four packets of condoms and six bananas because what the fuck else is he supposed to do. Lucy gets one on a banana in a solid 3 seconds and george almost barfs into his hands because "its not you having sex that disgusts me lucy, ok, its just the fact that I KNOW WHO ITS WITH AND NOW I HAVE TO RETURN TO PORTLAND ROW KNOWING THAT YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT NEXT TO MY ROOM FU-" meanwhile lockwood and holly are in the background filling up the condoms with water and hitting each other violently with them like water balloons and kipps is just sat eating one of the bananas because he skipped lunch watching as flo attempts to fashion a condom into a balloon animal and Barnes is suddenly questioning all his life choices and everything that has led up to this point

did you guys know that if you try to search for "crying" or "sad" gifs on tumblr, the site intervenes because it thinks you're gonna kill yourself and links you to KoKoBot, the thing that data mines users' mental health crises

#also saw a thing about how kokobot pairs up people to offer advice to each other and it's been really bad #like potentially getting minors to provide input on adults' problems #or exposing SA survivors to triggering content because you have no idea what they're going to send to you

People are acting so weird and possessive of Markiplier for the whole OnlyFans situation. He's an adult. He's an adult who's been a celebrity for years. He knows people thirst on him. That's why he had this idea in the first place. He's not some naive kid you must protect. He's not some innocent soul that the evil sluts of Tumblr and Twitter will corrupt. He knows the Internet, he knows his fans and he knows his job.

He's an adult and he can make his own choices.

#Markiplier #I've seen quite a few comments expressing discomfort and like. You can just. Not subscribe to his OF???? #That's a possibility. You can block people too. #I think some of you really need to learn about parasocial relationships and reflect on it #He's not your dad #He's not your friend #He's just a dude #A dude who has a job and it just so happens that his job revolves around appearing personable #Don't forget that you don't truly know him and MORE IMPORTANTLY he doesn't know YOU #He probably has various ideas on xho his fans are as subgroups but he doesn't know you personally #Actually it reminds me of Maisee Williams in GoT s8 #People had seen her (the character and the actress) grow up over the years and when she decided she wanted to do a nude scene #A lot of people said they were uncomfortable #In both cases. They're adults. They can do whatever they want. #I guess that was a rant but sometimes I find the fandom really off-putting #Deactivated reblogs because the RBs were getting boring and a pain

#Doodles #UT #Sans #Papyrus #Handplates #You can tell because of Sans' gloves lol #Getting-used-to-them-again doodles as well as just expressing Feeling <3 Happy towards them! Want them to be happy too! #It might seem silly for these - how many sets in now? - to still be getting used to drawing them again lol but it's because they're adults! #Their clothes and the way they hold themselves - but also especially Sans lol I dunno why I have such difficulty with him at times #He's got a cute face and I still find myself like ????how your face #Other than that tho it's just silliness hehe ♪ My favourite lads :D #I feel the need to make the distinction: I do actually have different favourites based on the AU lol #Like for example in classic I still love Flowey just a tiiiiiny bit more than Papyrus but it really is constantly neck and neck #Whereas in Handplates it's no competition even a little bit lol - Papyrus is just my Very Favourite #But Gaster is my favourite Handplates-specific character since he's unique to the AU! It gets a bit in the weeds lol #Sans isn't far behind at all of course the trio are very important! The duo even moreso imo #Going back to gloves tho I did carry over one of my quirks from my original UT doodles about Papyrus' gloves lol #I initially envisioned them as combination mitten-gloves with a free index finger and all the rest together #I still rather like the design! But it is admittedly not Handplates accurate lol #The occasional dip into self-indulgence who me? Lol #Sleeping on each other is important to me as well!! It is such a favourite hehe #Honestly I just imagined Papyrus getting so exhausted that he fell asleep in the snow lol poor lad #Sans teleported in but it's also funny to imagine him just walking up like ''you good? yeah he's fine'' *flop* haha #Silly lads <3 Do love 'em ♪

I think more people should go back and either replay or rewatch (.... or forbid, play or watch them for the first time) aa1, even if it's literally only case 1

fanon phoenix is so completely disconnected from the actual character that at this point they basically share a wacky hairstyle and a name to me. In the actual games, Phoenix is almost always depicted as the "straight man", even in comparison to Edgeworth: he's somber, dry, sarcastic, and often very tired of shenanigans and bullshit. He's a very ordinary "everyman", and that's like 80% of his appeal to me, tbh. It's not to say that he can't be silly or nonserious, but we have a unique look at the inside of his head and all the things he COULD say, but most likely does not.

He goes on to become a literal world renowned defense attorney, and so many people want to boil him down to a silly stupid little rabbit of a guy when he's anything but

#yes this is about the polls #I guess this particularly irks me because before I replayed the games for the first time in a decade+ #I'd fallen for a bit of fanon phoenix as well #and it really surprised me to revisit ace attorney as a fully grown adult (instead of being barely an adult) #and to see how somber and reserved phoenix really is #it's not even strictly a trilogy thing either he acts the same in aa4 #if anything his “worst” qualities are amplified and he very frequently goes mask off about being pessimistic and balefully sarcastic #I guess to sum it up #phoenix is an interesting character and it makes me sad to see him reduced to a gag bit that's basically used to prop up other characters #obviously I fully support people playing with interpretations #what is fandom if not to play pretend with our dollies #but I feel like they're really missing out by not paying attention to what actually IS there

DOGSRED Chapter 1 by Satoru Noda [English Scanlation]

Satoru Noda's new project after Golden Kamuy: an ice hockey manga. "If he wants to go wild at the ice skating rink, isn't he better off as an ice hockey player?" Disgraced figure skater Shirakawa Rou moves to Hokkaido, and meets his unhinged match in a hot-headed hockey player.

consider this a placeholder until a proper scanlation group picks it up and does magical things like redraw art and weave in sound effect translations. also if you see spelling or grammar errors... no you didn't (none of us are native english speakers so rip, we ball 💀)

(part two)

#actually please hold while I fix a spelling error lol #files for this distributed by tosh on the usual manga server #niche content for us Noda fans :')..... #he really said: yes I will be doing a hockey manga AGAIN it is the most beautiful and POWERFUL sport #and most importantly. men are willed to press their bodies against each other #honestly i still wish he had decided on adult hockey teams instead of high school hockey #he does grown men and especially old men so well.... they're powerful. they're sexy. they're unhinged. #dogsred #satoru noda #golden kamuy #manga #hockey #figure skating #long post

out of all the batfam, bruce's relationship with stephanie is genuinely the most interesting to me, because literally what is going on there? what are they doing? how do they feel about each other, like actually.

#NOT father and daughter #not really mentor and student #but a secret third thing #she died and they're never going to move past that #when she was a kid she dreamed of him saving her and they're never going to move past that #and they'll never talk about anything ever #and like there's love that's undeniable #but there's also genuine bitterness and vitriol #not her dad but the most reliable male adult in her life #which tells you how low the bar is #god i need to dissect them #stephanie brown #bruce wayne #spoiler dc #dc comics #batfam #batman #batfamily

If nothing else Koenma is a Kuwabara stan and I'm right there with him o7 (I need to write the kuwameshi fic that goes with this fr)

#maybe one day i'll write that au i have sitting in my head #ever since the comment he made about making kuwa spirit detective instead ive been thinking about it #like...what if yusuke is still recruited same as canon but like #kuwa was already spirit detective? doing assignments for the guys upstairs and all #and they made yusuke help him after his resurrection instead of going solo #and it's hilarious because they still have the ''rivalry'' set in place so it's like #now i gotta be coworkers with this guy i was in a fist fight with last week? #yusuke is like you can't be serious you want me to fight DEMONS with the guy who cant even beat ME? lmaooo okay #kuwa would be more in tune with his powers atp in this au and super offended like hello #why would i use my reiki on a FELLOW HUMAN CHILD you DICK i can hold my own on my assignments just fine #but he's actually really excited to be able to spend time with yusuke doing something besides getting his ass handed to him #they're both genkai's students (she's endlessly annoyed but they grow on her) #i just think it'd be fun cos like #it'd be harder to exclude kazuma from shit if he's literally been involved in this shit before he even met #kurama and hiei #kuwabara isn't really told about yusuke's resurrection so things go mostly the same up til he's brought back #they're both called to koenma's office and it's the spiderman pointing meme 💀 #it's koenma's first time seeing kuwa in person as he usually just sends assignments with botan #yusuke has already seen him cos of the resurrection arc #and koenma is SUCH a fanboy ''kuwabara it's such a pleasure. you know you're my best worker 🥺'' #''um urameshi am i seeing things or is that a fuckin baby'' yusuke will NOT stop laughing #it fucks koenma up so bad he makes sure he's in his adult form when he's around kuwa next #cos he wants to be the respected boss but also guy that you can chill with!! he's so cringe #okay yeah i need to write this it's such a fun concept #kuwameshi #yu yu hakusho #kuwabara kazuma #yusuke urameshi #koenma

(spoilers for the end of the first half of DR2!)

Hey guys I know that we're all obsessing over the parallels between Wu & Morro and Lloyd & Arin but what about Kai and Wyldfire?

What about the elemental master of fire having to leave his beloved child because of forces that he couldn't stop and could only hope to affect? What about the elemental master of fire being stolen from his beloved kid because the evil maniac at the time needed him for their big evil plan? What about them??!?

#Grah the writers of DR really know what they're doing don't they??? #The parallels between gay fictional Legos are driving me insane right now #What do you mean 'the heroes that you grew up with are now adults and parents and end up making the same mistakes as the ones before them #Except for the few that recognized the flaws within them and decided that they need to outgrow that cruelty for the sake of kindness??' #ninjago #lego ninjago #kai ninjago #kai smith #kai jiang #ninjago wyldfyre #wyldfire #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago dr s2 #ninjago dr spoilers #lego ninjago dragons rising #dragons rising

claudia’s birth allows louis to believe that he and lestat have become The Parents (equal status) and so the teacher-student power dynamic has gone away, but really it’s just been repressed and it comes up again like wack-a-mole

#clearly he wanted kids and he adored her but also the introduction of a literal child #makes him no longer occupy the position of ‘child’ in the house #in a way that is a relief to him #all that language like fledgling pupil student baby bird is dropped #he’s daddy! they're daddy and uncle :) #and then once claudia is an adult and trying to assert her own equal status #it becomes clear how much that original power dynamic had at best just become latent. bc now there's nobody to transfer it to anymore #'blame the teacher not the student' #addressing louis and claudia as a unit to tell them to clean up the corpse he left #and claudia is obv really aware of this #but like. ‘could the children murder the father’ is something present-day louis says #i think at the time he was still unable or unwilling to look that idea in the eye #anyway. hell hell hell #iwtv #vampire posting

The thing about the "ACTUALLY this kid show isn't actually for kids" crowd is yes that mentality is pretty ridiculous but also like 99% of the time the reason those people act like that in the first place is cause they're talking about a show that's like, objectively just a really good show and is written to appeal to people of all ages and so they naturally get defensive when people dismiss it and compare it to idk Bluey or whatever. Like yes it's pretty ridiculous to take shows like Adventure Time or Gravity Falls or The Owl House and claim that they're Not Actually For Kids, but I also think anyone who's ever actually watched those shows and given them a fair chance would agree that it's equally ridiculous to act as if they belong in the same category as shows made for literal preschoolers.

#my 56 year old dad has gravity falls and phineas and ferb among his favorite shows #and my 55 year old mom has a t-shirt of king from owl house #and neither of them are like super passionate about animation like i am #i've just showed them a bunch of the animated shows i like and made them fans in the process #they have zero qualms about watching cartoons with their adult son cause they're really good cartoons and we have fun watching them #it's not complicated #shut up tristan

[antianakin]

It's really depressing that the only real Jedi centric and Jedi positive show in existence is written for preschoolers, while many of the more "adult" shows are edgy and about morally ambiguous or straight-up evil characters. As if lessons about being kind and selfless are somehow not important or relevant to adults just as much if not more than they are to children.

It feels like characters who are unambiguously good are seen as only enjoyable by the very young and adult viewers will only actually appreciate characters who are cruel and selfish (and the requisite "tragic backstory" that always goes with it to help excuse their cruel and selfish choices).

It's just really sad and disappointing.

#star wars #listen i love andor #i really do #but i'm seeing a pattern of shows aimed at older audiences always always ALWAYS having moral ambiguity as a central theme #the good ones like andor always keep in mind that these people are doing awful things #they're not necessarily heroes even tho they're on the right side #the bad ones like ahsoka and acolyte find ways to send the message that being selfish is actually the right thing to do sometimes #i'm just so tired of the jedi getting relegated to the side because no one can see nuance in unambiguously good people #like at best they are just not there at all #at worst they are turned into the villains specifically for refusing to stop practicing their culture even in the face of persecution #give me my adult jedi show #GIVE ME THE REVA SPIN-OFF I DESERVE #STOP GIVING ME THIS JEDI CRITICAL BULLSHIT #IT'S ALL HORRIFICALLY BAD #I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD YOUR CGI IS THE STORY IS NO LONGER STAR WARS IF YOU HATE THE JEDI #GO MAKE YOUR OWN SCI FI IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT THE JEDI

Quietly simmering with rage when ppl bring up fuckin shit like 'kids are identifying as cats they're putting litter boxes in schools what's wrong with the world!!!' as if like.

1) they are absolutely not putting litter boxes in schools for the humans where are you even getting this information

2) people who 'identify as animals' are fully aware that they're in human bodies and have to abide by human social standards. They're not stupid, they're not role-playing as a cat 24/7. That's not even the point of doing that.

3) a solid 90% of the people ur talking about when you're talking about kids identifying as cats are neurodivergent. I don’t think I've met a single catgender person or someone calling themselves a cat who wasn’t also very vocally autistic. You're just getting mad at autistic kids again. Way to go, asshole.

4) why are you as an adult so concerned with children rejecting social norms. What's with your obsession with conformity. Did nobody tell you growing up that sticking to and upholding the status quo is loser shit. Did nobody tell you that trying to make kids do the same makes you a cartoon villain. Grow up lmao

#spitblaze says things #im not a person that ids as a cat but i know ppl who do #these people arent delusional they're just having a good time #ppl will really get soooo up in arms abour any percieved deviation from the norm like grow up #anyway cat ppl feel free to add on or correct anything. i am not a cat person so this is my Outside Adult Perspective
