#what the report is about you ask?

My desire to be a ranger and my inability to see really conflict with each other

#I feel like physically being unable to read maps and reports would cause an issue #oh yes I’m just going to read this report #what the report is about you ask? #no idea #rangers apprentice #ranger august #disabled ranger #fuck being visually impaired

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue

THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

#This is literally Storytelling 101: Show Don't Tell #I'm sorry scriptwriters I know you were working before your union won minimal staffing in writers' rooms and decent pay and all that #but You Know What You Did #Also cgi artists plz unionize #A few more hours on Momo would have maybe taken him further out of the nightmare monkey puppet category #I know some people are reporting him as cute #But all I can see is a creature from the Magnus Archives #that thing is the skin of Momo being worn by something that doesn't quite move right underneath #And maybe it is looking for a better fit #Don't let it touch you adorable child actor Aang #avatar the last airbender #atla #natla #Anyone looking to block the live action posts I'll be tagging all of these with that natla tag going forward #But yeah not going to post about it much #I came I saw I deemed it not worth the hours of my life it asked #I can literally write a better Avatar AU than this #Anyway back to Toph beating up Blind Zuko! #*write write write" #(their big budget fanfic can't hurt me it can only introduce more fans to the original)

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

#pr manager is like: andrew… this is the last time i’m gonna tell you #andrew: whats the point of democracy if i can’t exercise freedom of speech #pr manager: andrew it’s no longer about your image #at this point we are concerned the fbi is going to show up #andrew: neil has connections. i’m fine #they thought marketing andrew on social media would be good #they were sooooo wrong #because now andrew has a place to share every insane thing he’s ever thought #for instance—a tweet that just says ‘an alien googling: human clothes’ #he’s on there advocating for lgbtq+ youth you KNOW HE IS #he’s cursing and mildly threatening members of congress for imposing these disgusting bills #one day he tweeted ‘does mitch mcconnell know he’s dead yet’ #when mitch mcconnell stepped down from senate andrew tweeted ‘hopefully next he steps down from life’ #unsurprisingly: this endears him to some people and makes others fucking hate him #and he’s such a shit. he does not care either way #he’s kind of just like: pr manager. you gave me a twitter and told me to tweet. i’m just doing what you asked me #they’ve threatened to change his password so many times #they actually did once but andrew reported the account so many times for defamation and fraud that it got suspended #and he made a new account out of pure spite #his pr manager is like: andrew nobody is going to want to sign you because of your public image #and andrew is like: ?? ok. they can lose every game then #(he knows he’s the best goalie) #ok i think that’s enough for now. however i will probably be back #andrew minyard #aftg #tfc #trk #tkm #the foxhole court #all for the game

thinking about when a door-to-door missionary asked my dad if he had a personal relationship with jesus and he replied, deadpan, "I eat him."

#my dad HATES missionaries #once a mormon asked him if he had read the book of mormon and he said yes i have one actually #the mormon asked if he had prayed on it and he said yes but i don't want to offend you with what god said about it #<<ik i have mormon followers i am just reporting an anecdote pls don't get mad

this is so funny you and everyone is talking about 500 years of suffering like babar made masjid on temple that has no proof was there toh aise toh aadhe hindu temple medieval age aur stone age mein stupas ko tod ke bane hai. literally what was happening before the delhi sultanate came in to existence. the temple of kalapriya destroyed by indra III for example. temple desecration was a pretty common affair. if the supreme court of india was any good (or let's be real not dominated by upper caste hindu who perpetuate brahman hindutva) the decision would have been babri masjid not mandir. india as it was made in 1947 died today.

there is nothing I can say which will change you point of view so 🤷🏻‍♀️.

#asks #not commenting on the kashmir issue cause i am not well read enough for it #and anyway i (unlike some of you) understand that celebrating your religion #is not the same as supporting the party in power #its not about political victory or glory or whatever #it has always been and will continue to be about our god #i am irritated by the pomp and the constant reporting too #doesnt mean i am not happy about the temple itself #its not always black and white #no natter what some random 'liberals' on tumblr might say after reading two (2) whole articles #on why this is wrong

Okay so everyone makes the cunk on earth=Harry du Bois comparisons and that’s really good and makes a lot of sense but have you ever considered. Cuno on earth

“The franconigerian Calvary was a fuckin’ massive army! Did all sorts for fuckin’ murder shit. War shit. Didn’t have guns though because they didn’t get invented yet. Even though all they had were, I don’t know, spears?”

#disco elysium #it’s just one letter off. Cuno. cunk. so funny to me #Cuno doing a school report on the history of martinese and asking people about shit #god can you imagine Cuno talking to evrart about the Union. what does that conversation look like. Jesus Christ

I know 'person with secret to hide spots other person with secret to hide but doesn't say anything' is like. Thee trope in superhero crossovers, but come on! Some of these guys have been doing this for decades! There's tons of heroes that have gone to pretty extreme lengths to be Completely Imperceptible in civilian life.

Don't you think it's scarier, after all is said and done, to sit there and think I didn't notice a thing? I wouldn't have ever realised? I would never have known? To know that someone you were familiar with - close with, even! - had this whole other personality and skillset and powers and experiences and life just behind the curtain, and they hid it so completely you didn't even see it was there.

'I always knew there was something off' what if you didn't. How world shaking would it be to be so utterly blindsided? To know that this person had somehow learned to so deceptive?

#Strongly inspired by the dp x dc where Danny knows what up IMMEDIATELY or a bat clocks Danny as super suspicious within mins of meeting #Or the amount of reveal fics caused by the hero slipping up in some stupid way and getting themselves doxxed against their will #Like come on!! Full time heroes like superman or batman or Spidey go to great lengths to construct an entirely separate civilian persona! #And yes I know they've had their idiot moments when it comes to their identities but they've kept their secret rock solid for irl DECADES #What's an identity reveal without drama!! Shake it up! Stir the pot! Not a slow and gradual build up of suspicion and stress #But two high speed trains coming at right-angles and the audience is the only one who can see the incoming crash #Twist the knife in if you want. Make it HURT. Make it completely rewrite what they believed. #Short ID reveals are great for this because you can SEE the ripple effects spreading out as the story ends. Just BANG. #But also no ID reveal at all. The main character goes through the story regularly interacting with and developing character right alongside #A hero in hiding and no one is ever the wiser. You're a worker in WE fending off attempts to steal your inventions and Bruce Wayne #Invites you to his office to discuss security and he walks you back to your office when you get nervous about a break in. #You're struggling with school bullies and getting into trouble over your photography hobby and Peter Parker is right there alongside #You complaining about rich kids and fiddling with the outdated finicky lenses you got from the school. #You're a reporter unpicking a mystery scandal and you ask resident tank Clark Kent if he's able to play bodyguard if you go somewhere shady #The reader knows. No one else notices a thing. #And besides focusing on the civilian side is a nice change of pace! Let's see how they manage leading double lives! #What do I even tag this #batman #superman #Marvel #Dcu #spiderman #secret identity #identity reveal #long tags #captain marvel #miraculous ladybug #I know I know #hero and villain

Listening to the mgs peace walker tapes and then listening to the mgs V tapes has done irreparable damage to my brain

#so this happened WEEKS ago ok #and still it's #it's. #it is quite something #ok here's the thing #we know how Kaz and BB were like during pw #and then you have Paz saying stuff like 'Kaz and Big Boss came up with the idea' 'Kaz and Big Boss made this decision' and blablabla #it's all Kaz and BB doing stuff together and making plans and etcetcetc #and then you listen to the fucking mgs V tapes and it genuinely makes me crazy bc #Im pretty sure BB doesn't even say Kaz's name. At all. Not even once. #he doesn't ask how he's doing #he doesn't ask if he knows about the plan. what he thinks about it. nothing #and yeah maybe there wasn't time or whatever but to BB. that relationship that he had with Kaz? It's recent. #he's been in a coma for 9 years. to him running motherbase with Kaz is part of his most recent memories #and you don't get to hear him ask about Kaz #and then you get to Ocelot's reports and of course he calls him Miller instead of Kaz #and it feels SO distant and cold to talk about Kaz in this manner #and what truly makes me crazy is that BB never says 'Kaz' while you have ocelot and BB calling each other by their real names #and then. and then you have venom snake #who's constantly calling his name #Kaz?? Kaz! Kaz...... #INSANE #m(ysterious) g(ay) s(ex)

I can't tell if jamarr exaggerates his stories to an extreme amount or if joe justhas to constantly tell him to chill haha. but based on tee confirming that jamarr does buy joe clothes ocassionally and he did buy him a chain - im going to say joe just likes privacy lol

ALWAYS THRILLED TO BE ASKED ABOUT UNRELIABLE NARRATOR JA’MARR!!!

more under the cut because literally i could talk about this all day and i don’t need to subject anyone to that. 

Honestly I think it’s a combination of both? Ja’Marr exaggerates, says one thing then immediately another contradicting thing, doesn’t seem to have much of a filter, however you want to categorize it. Which I think is such a funny contrast to Joe - who is (almost) always very careful about how he expresses himself and how he wants to be portrayed. 

The “Ja’Marr Buys Joe Clothes Except No He Doesn’t Except Wait He Definitely Does” saga is probably my favorite thing in the world because what on earth is ANYONE talking about in this situation. Like, first Ja’Marr claims in the GQ interview:

"Joe literally won’t buy his own clothes. He always asks me to shop for him and drop it off at the house.” 

Which is almost definitely an exaggeration. I am sure Joe buys plenty of his own clothes (although loving the idea of Ja’Marr literally filling Joe’s closet with things he thinks he’ll like). 

And then, bringing it up completely unprompted in an interview a week later he says that actually that was “kinda” a lie, and that he hasn’t bought Joe anything but dinner - although now he’ll “have to [buy joe clothes] since that’s out now”. like ?????? First of all just because you “kinda lied” about buying Joe clothes does not mean that you now have to actually buy him clothes? And why did you lie about it in the first place? How badly do you want to buy this man clothes??? 🤨🤨🤨

So we spent the rest of the season completely confused about this story but just kind of accepting that Ja’Marr just says shit sometimes, who knows… and THEN in a groundbreaking (to me) interview with Tee, we learn that actually Ja’Marr has in fact bought Joe clothes: 

“Chase definitely gets Joe right. I’ve seen him buy clothes for Joe multiple times.” 

MULTIPLE TIMES??? and Tee has seen it for himself?? Which at this point means that Ja’Marr has now potentially lied about lying about buying Joe clothes?? For what purpose??? 

I have imagined and talked with beloved mutuals about what could be going on in this situation, presented here with varying levels of realism and hilarity: 

Ja’Marr has never bought Joe clothes and all the receivers are in on a big joke where they’re claiming that Ja’Marr buys Joe clothes just to fuck with him. Because it’s funny and why not.

Ja’Marr hadn’t bought Joe clothes before the interview, but had been planning on doing it and was so excited by the idea that he got ahead of himself and told GQ he was already doing it. And then “since it was out there” he had an excuse to start buying Joe clothes, with Tee as a witness. 

Finally back to the point of your ask (so sorry for all my rambling) and probably the most likely scenario - Ja’Marr tends to exaggerate and Joe tends to value his privacy. 

What I imagine is this, Ja’Marr has probably bought Joe clothes a few times. We already know that he’s bought him grills and he mentioned in a few interviews last season that he had bought Joe some pants. And probably a few more instances we don’t have details on. The man likes fashion and he likes Joe and it seems like he has a gift giving love language! He probably got excited and exaggerated a bit in the GQ interview because again, I’m sure Joe does not “always” ask Ja’Marr to shop for him lmao. And I wonder if the exaggeration is the part that Joe took exception to (if he even did! Joe’s never said anything about any of this! all we have is Ja’Marr’s word which we can NOT trust) - Joe likely doesn’t want the whole world thinking Ja’Marr buys ALL his clothes, he likes fashion too and I’m sure puts a lot of work into those game day outfits, even if Ja’Marr does help out sometimes. Plus he really doesn’t like sharing details about his relationships, even one as public as his friendship with Ja’Marr. (All he says is that he’s one of his best friends and they hang out all the time, Ja’Marr is the one giving details about UFC moves and going to Vegas together and keeping his stuff at his place etc etc). 

Joe likely gave Ja’Marr shit for how he phrased it and honestly sharing it with the world at all. Plus!!! I am always thinking about the timing of the article, coming out right when Joe’s appendix burst. I bet Ja’Marr was worried about his friend, felt bad about sharing some exaggerated details of their relationship, and simply decided to take ALL of it back. Because again, he really seems to only operate in extremes. So to make Joe feel better, instead of just clarifying his quote, he just decided to say ‘nope, sorry, that was a lie, never bought that man clothes in my life 😊' while Tee was probably at his locker listening to the interview like 🤨???

Anyway. that’s WAY TOO MANY words to answer your ask but please know I so appreciated getting it. Any excuse to ramble about these two as you can see!! 

#Tldr: yeah ja’marr just says shit!! joe is probably telling him to chill very often!! #it’s a dynamic that somehow works well for them! #god i just want a reporter to ask joe about the clothes situation this season #how has NO ONE brought it up with him yet? #and we should keep asking tee and ja’marr and tb about it too #hell let’s ask zac! #THIS is the important storyline this year #what contracts?? what superbowl window??? #WHO is buying WHOM clothes in the locker room?!?! #ask #anon #joe burrow #ja'marr chase #when i was checking the timing of things i didn’t realize that joe’s appendix burst LITERALLY the day the article #(and those pictures 👀) came out #now i’m no doctor but sometimes you just have to repress your reactions to things so hard that your internal organs explode 🙃 #(joking) #(mostly 👀)

I just read the post a week ago about Jolly, and I'm sorry but I just don't understand. Joll is not a real name, it's a username/nickname. I thought deadnaming only applied to real-life names, not aliases or internet usernames that people can change on a whim. You can call me transphobic for thinking so, of course - but I just feel like this particular issue with Jolly was a little overdramatic. As a person who has spent their entire life on the internet, it just seems...dumb.

Someone named their baby John Karkat. John Karkat is that child's legal name. There is also a child who was named 'Orgasm'.

A name can be anything, you and your standards of what a name has to be are just stupid.

#cw transphobia #im not even bothering with your 2nd ask #its just transphobia #i don't engage with transphobes #also no one said anything about doxing if you're going to send me transphobic asks to “debunk” what happened to jolly was bad #maybe try to at least understand the actual claims being made #Cohost has deadnaming as against the rules #Jolly was deadnamed #Cohost did nothing about it when reported #ergo #cohost does not enforce its own TOS #thats a problem any angle you look at it

Jam, have you read the new Time article about Ze and the war?! I'm so fucking angry about it!!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Never thought Simon Shuster, of all people, would become a traitor! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I have and it is, indeed, a bullshit article.

If anyone had planned to read the new TIME article - don't. Use your time for something more useful (it has one, maybe two good parts but not really anything new or what I would say is worth a read). The article is full of bullshit, pro-Russian propaganda (to a point were you could play bingo and actually get one - think of any Russian Propaganda point and you'll most likely find it in the article) and basically a backstab from Simon Shuster.

Very sad to see that Shuster is now a pro-Russian Propaganda mouthpiece (again).

The article is awful in so many ways and he throws Ze under the bus, portraying him in an unfair, unjustified and very wrong light. Truly despictable article, not worth anyone's time.

The article is actually in fact so awful, I'm going to cancel my pre-order of Shuster's book about Ze. Because now I assume the book (who's title and summary changed in the past, btw) will now be written in the same style and I'm certainly not going to throw money into an awful Russian Propaganda mouth. I'll wait for reviews, maybe I'll get my hands on a copy in book store and I can glimpse into it.

Very sad to see that Shuster had this change in attitude and support regarding Ukraine (especially after his pro-Ukraine stance last year and his insightful and good reports about Ze), but given his history maybe it shouldn't be such a surprise (he wrote several pro-Russian and Propaganda articles in the past, mainly 2014 - I always assumed last year his case is one of the typical "didn't know it better, fell for Propaganda, learnt my lesson, now I support" ... well, looks like a "no").

#btw i would absolutely question his “sources” #because so many times in the article his “sources” say something completely different than what people actually say in public #and several things dont add up to reality or what we know / saw or what other journalists reported about #also i would bet money that the “close advisor” who shuster trusts so much is asshole #asshole as in arestovych #its also very fishy that ze and andriy get quoted directly and everyone else is just anon #also not a good sign of journalism (or the article) that shuster leaves out facts and explanations so it fits his views and article #and the propaganda #also the conclusions he sometimes makes are just ????????? #have nothing to do with real life??????? #yeah bad article #i could write pages and rant about so many parts of the article but its not worth the time or energy #if you have questions or want opinion on certain parts feel free to ask but im not gonna write an essay about it

Uhm..................

#I got an ask‚ and to answer I was bracing myself to make a big bsd content masterpost #And I did! I was already on my way to share all the manga reading platform I use for every manga‚ I had already listed them up #And I was going to add the additional content like anime streaming resources and art scans resources... #But now I'm having some serious reconsiderations #Like I was happy to make a masterpost! Making masterposts is fun- #and fuels the autistic need to put every little thing in little categories #But now I don't know if it's... Safe to have them all in one place?? I was very glad to share with people the resources I personally use- #but I really don't want to make something that is just. A big list of sites to report / shut down. The thought scares me immensely #And I thought it was safe to share manga reading platforms on Tumblr but what about‚ to name one‚ n/yaa? Would it be safe to link to that? #And it's something I'd highly want to include because some stuff that's there you won't find anywhere else‚ #such as the Dead Apple official English translation‚ the official Beast English scans... #Same would go‚ to make another example‚ for m/initokyo‚ or anime streaming platform. #Is it safe to share those... Uhm... More hidden websites through Tumblr? And if not‚ do I have any alternative for sharing? #I'm quite sad because I was already half way through making the list- #but now I'm not sure it's worth to continue if I never end up sharing it. #But then again the safety of people who share content has the maximum priority to me– I wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING without them #Mmmmmmmmmmmhhhh... #I even contemplated sharing the masterlist through text file‚ but I'm not sure if that might work out. #For one‚ I will never EVER use g/oogle docs or any g/oogle service for the matter. I'd rather die #So... I'd really appreciate it if anyone could advice me on this / had any suggestion / thought #random rambles #Sorry for the long ramble. I'm stuck

also i'm sorry but i'm still not over pep saying "he's just stronger than me" about klopp. i'm sure you know that firsthand from experience yeah? and i bet you like him being strong too. i bet you do

#bald freak #two old men are friends #had to cut this post short so it didn't derail into you know what territory #also there were some reports about him having referred to nunez rather than klopp but i don't think so #context wise he was asked about why klopp had to hold nunez back #answer: because klopp is stronger #makes sense to me 🤷

Does tumblr inform you if a post you've reported actually gets taken down?

'Cause I've gotten the "this extremely detailed death threat where OP describes wanting to cook and eat your organs while you're still alive somehow doesn't violate our TOS uwu" email, but that's literally all I've ever gotten, and I've only gotten it for around 5 of the posts I've reported...

I've reported way more than 5 posts, so do I just not get an update if the report is actually actionable?

#I'm mainly asking 'cause I reported the og callout about me and staff never got back to me #but I have multiple people now tell me that they can only find the one by happypanda #so did the original actually get removed? #or did it just get buried? #and if it did get removed was that by staff or did op do that themselves? #I imagine it would’ve been staff since op literally reposted the ''illegal'' art of mine they were bitching about #which I stand by will never not be really fucking funny given what they were claiming it was #oh so you believe my art is ''cp'' but you're reposting it? #okay so you actually *don't* believe it's cp #or you do and you'd repost *actual* cp #which says more about you than it does about me lol
