#why are we simply looking

[persephoneflouwers]

#why is this happening #and noone gives a shit to stop these nazifascists #that are bombing gaza constantly #that are killing people #and depriving them of basic necessities #why are we simply looking #like it’s a movie or something #what did they do to humanity #why is it so evil #why is isreal so fucking angry and hungry for a land that wasn’t theirs in the furst fucking place #why are we letting them get away with it #im so full of hate for the so called west democracies #im so full of anger and remorse #i feel guilty #why are we letting them get away with these crimes #why aren’t we helping civilians why aren’t we stopping criminals #the failure of the west #free Palestine #doctors without borders #gaza #palestine

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Depths of Darkness

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #depths of darkness #realm of darkness #my gif #they did a good job making the realm of darkness look distinct from the realm of light #because this place really does feel like nowhere we've ever been before #the rocky pathways with no sign of organic life make me feel like i'm on the moon or an alien planet #it's interesting how fallen worlds feel like they're all stitched together between areas like this #aqua can simply walk from place to place without needing a ship or keyblade glider to fly her to a new world #though who's to say how long it takes her to do all of that #as if the realm of darkness is one big ever growing expanse of land without any known boundaries between worlds #we know that all worlds used to be connected in the realm of light long ago and i'm guessing that's the case in the realm of darkness #it's never been split or fractured by keyblade wielders so it still follows its own rules and laws of nature #that'd be pretty interesting #we see this area start as a rocky wasteland that transitions into flat sandy terrain from the destiny islands #but you have to walk through a huge blinding light to get there first which is really unusual #it makes me think of how terra and aqua were guided to destiny islands by a bright light #and how destiny islands appears as a ball of light on the world select menu in bbs #but why portray it that way? we've been shown before what the world of destiny islands looks like from afar with the CoM world cards #and it's not like they even needed to include it on the world select screen in bbs because it's not a world you can even visit on your own #i don't know what it's all supposed to mean yet but #i believe the islands are more significant than we know at this time and this game continues to raise a lot of questions #it's certainly called 'destiny' islands for a reason

#this is certainly the most goat looking angle i've ever seen for cobalion #i kinda wish the rest of the swords of justice were relevant in gti. y'know? we only saw virizion and keldeo but we never got to #hear virizion's stories about what the other swords of justice were up to. or even like. about the fact that she is a legendary pokémon #she never talked about it. no one acknowledged it. everyone was just down bad for her with no idea she's a legendary #literally a sword of justice. no “where's cobalion & terrakion” just oh FUCK you're hot #and then she gets a crush on emolga of all pokémon. which‚ fail. he is in love with dunsparce. do not take this from him #i'm so disconnected from the actual canon of pmd at this point i've become so engrossed in my own devised version #with all my own versions of all the characters with real names that just are not anything like their canon counterparts at this point #i've changed pmd so much in my own head that it's like. do i even like pmd anymore #yes. yes i do. my pmd is simply a different version of the same thing that we all love. impossible to like pmd without creating fan content #i firmly believe this. hey why don't i stop talking about unrelated things in cobalion's tags #cobalion

Ride 774: Kiji, coming!!

Pag 1

1: Welcome, to the Emperor's throne!!

My aim is the double crown!!

Pag 2

4: Ahhh... you're fast, the two of you

I thought I could catch you for sure at 2km left

Pag 3

1: But it took me until “1km left”, yon!!

Pag 4

3: Ah!?

He

4: caught up!? Who....

Pag 5

1: who the hell are you!?

2: The two people in the lead are taking the curve and passing the sign that says that there's 1km left until the sprint line.....

Pag 6

1: No, it's three people!!

Three people passed the “1km left” sign!!

2: There's more people!? Since when!?

Wasn't it two people!?

What happened!? Who's that? That jersey-

At the last curve, suddenly-

3: It's not “who are you”....!!

Dammit!! I know!! This guy!!

Pag 7

1: There's one more person who we need to pay special attention to

2: Gunma Ryousei's third year, Kiji Kyuui

3: Ohh, Kiji? Who's that

Oi, I already told you about this in advance, Manami!! Come on, at the sea

Is that so?

4: What's your data about him?

5: There's basically no record of him in road racing

6: He's an..... “assassin” from the MTB world, huh

7: Is he aiming for the goal?

8: Yeah.... the goal...

That's right....

We should be glad

Pag 8

1: That he's only aiming for the goal

2: Hayaaaa!!

3: Dammit!! The first result.... so you're aiming for the sprint too!?

4: Since they said you were aiming for the goal I thought you were a climber like Manami!!

Pag 9

1: Let's speed up, Orange!! He'll catch up!!

2: I've seen it before!! This guy's jersey

3: That day.... he appeared suddenly on that bike with the thick tires

Pag 10

1: It's the guy who chased Onoda-san and the Hakogaku guy with the bouncy hair!!

2: Before that, Onoda-san said they were friends and that he's “strong”!!

3: He's coming to catch up to

4: mine and San-na's battle

Pag 11

1: He really is strong!!

Let's switch, I'll pull!!

Pag 12

1: Orange!!

3: They're in tune

You have amazing judgment and explosive power!!

4: When I caught up at the last curve

5: Even though they could have also accepted me and made me join them

Without making eye contact or calling out to each other, in an instant at the same time they made the decision

6: that they would “cooperate” to leave me behind!! Yon!!

You're really....

Pag 13

4: What's that

He's lowering his stance and pushing on the handles like he's about to dance....!!

5: Hayaaaa

Pag 14

1: You're really close friends!!

Pag 15

4: He lined up to us in one go!?

Pag 16

1: This guy!! Was it an optical illusion? Just now, I saw something like a cloud of dust behind me

2: Takadajou told us this

Be careful

3: I've been told that the power that a MTB rider can produce in a short time

4: is 1.5 times that of a road racing cyclist

5: This guy can match this top speed!?

8: Ah!?

9: Huh!?

Pag 17

2: In between!?

He came in between!?

Ah!?

3: You bastard, usually when one catches up he joins in the back

Pag 18

1: It's road racing theory!!

4: This guy doesn't know the theory?

5: 800m left until the sprint line!!

6: 1

Pag 19

1: 2

What's this- San-na, did this guy suddenly started counting

2: What's this

The sign for an attack?

3: 3

Pag 20

2: Alright, I recovered

5: Well then, I'll go

Pag 21

1: Ahead, yon

2: So it really was a sign for attacking!!

Part 2

This is Doctor Casper Darling, formerly of the Federal Bureau of Control. I think this signal is coming through now, are you receiving me?

Something shifted, the previously observed interference disrupting my broadcast is gone. A fluctuation in gravitational forces. Either something moved out of the way, or my relative position to it changed the alignment, and or the condition of this whole plane spiraled to a more favorable position.

The ordinary rules of reality do not apply here. The best I can describe this place is as a dreamscape. But who is the dreamer?

And how do you wake up from this dream?

#BABYGIIIIIRL #wondering if he ended up there by accident or was deliberately sent by Hedron for his last - wonderful - lesson #or as a punishment for treating an ancient entity as a pet/test subject simply because he doesn't have limits for his passion for knowledge #and why he has new glasses here and in the Lake House video - did he simply have two interchangeable models and we never knew about that #or did the proximity to the Dark Place affect its color for some reason? #anyway... looking disrespectfully #Casper Darling #Matthew Porretta #Alan Wake 2 #Alan Wake 2 spoilers #Remedy Entertainment #🎮 #tinyclowntent

Another round of asoiaf "prettycourse", another round of people ignoring Arya's self-esteem issues and how it relates to her arc because their enjoyment of the series hinges on an 11-year-old being considered ugly.

#arya stark #asoiaf #fandom nonsense #/looks don't matter/ but they're the ones firing up this discourse every few weeks cause they can't handle what's written in the books #grown ass people logging on every day to talk about how Arya HAS to be ugly or her story is ruined/makes her less interesting #at what point do you get tired of being so invested in how a character (one you obviously don't like at that) is perceived? #we aren't the ones shipping her with every grown mad in the series and using a predator's words to fawn over her beauty #never any discourse around a 13 year old being the most shipped character in the series nope! the real issue is that we don't #consider Arya's bullies to be the ultimate authority on her looks! #where are the essays on how Arya shouldn't have been made to feel lesser based on her looks? how she should be able to have worth outside #of her misogynistic society's standards? why is it literally ALWAYS just /Arya is ugly...that's enough analysis for today/???? #if her looks don't matter then you can simply stop creating discourse around the subject and let people have whatever opinions they want

Honestly, I do think it's kind of funny when cis people talk about how Big Trans is forcing them to date, bed, or be friends with trans people because, truly, most of us wouldn't have wanted to be around them, anyway.

If you don't want to be seen as transphobic, there are ways to state your desires without being seen as transphobic. However, you can't have it both ways: treating trans people as second-class people while also not being seen as a bigot while doing so. You need to make your peace with that if you are going to go about this in a transphobic way.

#ally advice #lgbt #lgbtq #transphobia #transphobia tw #like i get how complex the conversation can be for some people... #...but sometimes i wonder if it's a matter of the conversation being complex... #...or because people want so desperately to be bigoted without being treated any worse because of it... #...in short they don't want to be reminded about how shitty it is to treat PEOPLE like things or like parasites... #...because then you have two options... #...option one is to embrace that bigotry openly no matter the cost... #...and option two would be to actually reflect on WHY it is that bigotry - and specifically their - bigotry is wrong actually #like whenever i have talked to other trans people about this we ruminate and laugh about our own experiences with it because it's ridiculou #and it just seems like the Cis Gaze into transness and what they assume it looks like. #i don't have a better word besides cis gaze because it objectifies mystifises and seperates the trans experience from Everybody Else #anyway it is sometimes amusing to see but it is ultimately not trans people's fault if you aren't ~into~ us to any capacity #so i am critical of the idea that trans people need to Remeber How Hated We Are to the point of our own detriment #anyway we will simply move on without you and we will yet live (and ball all the while)

genuine question: where in the monty cutscene thing (with all the cardboard cutouts & everything) does it reveal that monty became the band's bass player because he killed bonnie?

i've heard a lot of people saying "bonnie giving monty his guitar and retiring is a cover up for what actually happened" and that's totally understandable!!! but that on its own doesn't say it was monty who got rid of him, just that he took bonnie's place in the band. it doesn't tell you what actually *did* happen.

i've seen so many people saying that scene revealed that it really was monty's fault, but i genuinely don't understand why?? if anybody has an answer please let me know i'm so confused

#i'm on team 'monty looks up to bonnie and was honored to take his position in the band when bonnie disappeared but monty didn't cause it' #at least that's my takeaway from it #we don't ever really get confirmation that monty dislikes bonnie in the first place!! all we know is bonnie disappeared in gator golf and+ #monty just so happened to end up the bass player bc he wasn't already playing an instrument #and ppl say 'but monty has the claws' yeah the ones he doesn't get until he BECOMES BASS PLAYER???? aka AFTER bonnie disappears? #i don't think the claws could've been enough to decommission bonnie anyway. these animatronics are fucking RESILIENT #and another argument is 'he hates freddy so he went after his closest friend' but. why wouldn't he simply go after freddy??? #fnaf security breach #security breach ruin #fnaf ruin #security breach ruin spoilers #fnaf ruin spoilers #ruin spoilers #glamrock bonnie #monty gator #montgomery gator #security breach monty #idk if this comes off as passive aggressive or not but i AM genuinely asking

looking up video essays analysing the queer themes of persona 4 has been such an Experience. You will ping pong between white men condescending to u that there’s absolutely no way to read queer subtext (LET ALONE TEXT!) and tiny channels made by queer fans passionately explaining their readings of this game.

#as soon as someone starts off a naoto gender essay with she/her pronouns u know it’s gonna be all downhill from there #specifically SPECIFICALLY for the way people are so. SO unwilling to truly be open to seeing queer text and subtext #it’s so aligned w w the way the narrative handles some of these topics in a ‘wow. crazyinsane THAT happens! <- makes fun of queer identity #or relegates it to the role simply being a symptom of societal unease #when like. look the game came out in 2008 and considering the reading I’ve started to have done on how queer Japanese scholarship has #developed over the years and what particular things have influenced it and how mainstream information ABOUT queer identities have changed a #lot over the years I’m not surprised persona 4 is Like That. but I also think we aren’t restricted to simply agreeing w the narrative’s #conclusions #you CAN examine the text for yourself and argue for why it comes to the conclusions it does #tunes talks critical #tunes talks persona

How much of the self is present in the ancestor?

#i was feeling really bad and dysphoric so i picked up the crayons. as you do #and this evolved out of it and it got me thinking about a “return to animal” type sentiment #like i was watching videos of apes last night and thinking how different it must be to simply exist in your body #without hiding it in clothes and gender conformity and such #and then i was thinking about the idea of “returning” to a state of being you haven't even existed in #couldn't exist in. because you are a product of what came before you etc #(and ofc apes are almost as different from the common ancestor as we are so it wouldn't be returning to ape but like yknow #the abstract idea of the beings we were before we were humans.) #and like why do we call it returning if we ourselves were never there? how much of ourselves actually exists in the past? #why is it that we feel enough kinship to the past that we say “return” when we think about existing there? #anyway. rhetorical questions mostly. this drawing isn't exactly about that train of thought #but i felt i needed to put it somewhere. and this is where i thought of it and i like the way the caption looks #this drawing is sort of about the feverish desire to rid myself of physical discomfort #griffffdraws

Do we know Miles's or any of the AM members' opinions on the genocide in Gaza? Like I love them to death, but the lack of response has reaaally been bothering me. Not to mention the amount of privilege in not carrying about politics *looking at you, Alex*. I've seen Louise being pro-Israel.

OHHHHH anon i've been WAITING to talk about this. thank you for the question.

the answer is no we don't. to my knowledge, none of the members have openly talked about it. there has been no story on their official instagram, nor has matt (the only one with a public profile) posted anything about it on his account. not only that, but i did some research and apparently that benefit concert that him, tyler parkford and josh homme took part in also hosted people like jesse hughes and sarah silverman who are more or less openly pro-israel. which doesn't mean *matt* is, it just means he's not careful who he's associating himself and his image with.

the others have stayed silent. and miles, too - who's so active on social media - has never even reposted anything about it. not a word.

about the girlfriends, louise (and amanda) have spoken about "wanting peace" and louise especially has reposted some stupid ass posts a few months ago basically saying it's not "childish" to just wish peace for everyone - proving that she literally knows nothing about what has been happening for DECADES. both her and amanda have repeatedly proven they're centrists, which is just so. yikes.

the only one among all of them who has openly and almost immediately asked for a ceasefire is katie.

i've seen some people argue that the royal albert hall proceeds have gone to the war child association, but honestly - that's not enough. that was before, and even though knowing that is better than nothing, something they did in the past doesn't justify their lack of a statement on the genocide in the present. the fact that they're not even active on social media - just because they're too lazy to get someone to properly manage their account - isn't an excuse for staying silent.

whether they like it or not, they're celebrities. they have a platform they could use and they repeatedly choose not to use it. i love them but for the past few months i've been beyond disappointed in them.

#and then i see people on here shitting on other celebrities with bigger platforms for their lack of a statement #just because you have a weird personal vendetta against people like taylor swift and others (also their gfs)> #> doesn't mean our favs are looking any better. i'm hugely disappointed in her and all the other celebrities who have stayed silent #and i'm just as upsed with am. they're not an indie unknown band. they have 7.6 MILLION followers on ig #using their platform could actually do something #just bc they have a 'smaller' platform than other bigger celebrities doesn't mean they don't have one #they actually have SUCH a big platform #dan and phil did a stream and raised so much money and they have an even smaller platform can you imagine how much am could raise #or even simply do the bare minimum and post something to show where they stand. TALK about it. but they simply choose not to #and yeah they could be donating in private. we don't know. and that's exactly it. their silence makes us question them #and also. why is it that people on here only hold accountable for their silence the celebrities they don't personally like #but stay conveniently silent on am's and miles' lack of a statement? do i once again smell double standards? #again i love them as much as the next person but i will ALWAYS hold them accountable for their actions (or lack thereof) #answered

whenever i think abt writing Nandor and i get going thru a series of sequences of him behaving like a well-adjusted, caring, adult i have to stop myself, backspace several mental paragraphs and remember that he's basically a semi-captive lion being observed in a nature documentary and he functions on 92% Id

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandor #nandor the relentless #neat fanfic trick: if you're nandor is behaving ooc like a normal well adjusted empathetic human being just ask yourself #“what would a lion do in this exact scenario?” #and whatever the absurdity it's probably closer to the truth than not #anyways i have a lot to say abt the amorality of the vampires and how they simply don't function with the same human ethical thought #but that doesnt mean they dont care and love and have social behaviors of their own that shouldnt be judged less than #and will express those emotions in ways that might feel foreign to most humans #...is what i say to myself to keep from crying as i delete 3 pages of nandor talking out his feelings 😭😭😭 #(also brief note: when i say he functions on Id its not that he lacks intelligence or the capacity to use it along with his ego/super ego) #(as seen in the s5 finale) #(but rather he's an apex predator so his whole being is funneled into traits for hunting. not other things we think show intelligence) #(in the mordern non hunting/gathering world) #(which is partially why he's so disconnected from the world and struggles to find purpose in an environment that no longer values him) #(truthfully nandor is human but simply the definition of humanity has changed rapidly from what it valued centuries before) #(and leaves nandor lost) #(except for guillermo. his one connection to humanity and what anchors him to the modern world 🥲) #(...looks like i got lost in the tags again...)

No one is going to like this but the solution to people misusing mental health terminology like hyperfixation & special interest is to bring back the concept & framing of Nerd Culture. Also the term "squee".

#look we really threw out the baby with the bathwater in the process of distancing ourselves from 2010s nerd culture #and now there's a terminology vacuum #which is why people are like ''im hyperfixating'' when they're actually. ahem. ''fangirling'' #i know a lot of people have convinced themselves that the level of investment in fiction that people #with tumblr accts have is actually 'normal' and therefore you don't need to call it anything. but that is simply not true. #fandom and 'nerdiness' is Considerably more mainstreamed than it used to be #but it is still not a thing that 'everyone does now'. and so people are going to want words #like to specify that they are an above average level of invested in something #so we might as well direct them away from the dsm even if the alternative is Cringe or w/e
