Ok, prediction for 4.2.

Childe *both* wants to stop the eldritch whale from doing whatever it's about to do and serves as a host/beacon for it.

It would be a very Childe thing and also why choose.

#I still don't believe that he's completely clueless #and that adrenaline seeking is all he does #this kind of determination is usually caused by something else #childe #tartaglia #childe's trauma whale #it would also explain why he doesn't tell anything to anyone #it's not just trauma #you don't really want other people to know you accidentally an apocalyptic beast #the whole beast #you just don't #genshin lore #genshin impact

My response to Bertha more or less selling Gladys to that duke for a place in society.

#the gilded age #the gilded age spoilers #period drama #anti bertha russell #i hate to be anti bertha when I've been supportive all along #but you don't sell your daughter for a place in society #you just don't

Deeply amused by the fact that doc built his absurdly tall diamond ore pillar, logged on ready to brag about it, saw that cub had entered the race with diamond blocks and immediately gave up. Easily the most sensible thing he's done all season.

Something that irks me is that Peter Pettigrew of all people gets less hate than Snape.

I mean Peter Pettigrew, who was not only Siruis, Remus and James, best friends. They went to school together, they became Animagi together, they played pranks together, they lived in the same dorm room, they went out to Hogsmeade together. They were friends. Actual friends, best friends.

The Mauraders bullied Snape, and that's putting it mildly. Lily abandoned him, (another thing about that, but for another time). Snape owned James and Lily, nothing. Really nothing. But he had loyalty to his first friend, Lily and that's what sent the Potter's into hiding.

Pettigrew was still friends when the Potter's went into hiding. Peter was feeding information to Voldemort for who knows how long, and he was still friends with them.

He probably held Harry and celebrated his birth with them. He probably gave gifts and laughed and talked, and then left to plot thier deaths.

All out of cowardice and fear.

Peter had everything. Snape had nothing. Yet somehow one is demonized and the other gets a slap on the wrist? Come on.

#harry potter #harry potter fandom #severus snape #peter pettigrew #pettigrew sucks #sorry not sorry #mauraders era #mauraders #the coward #you can fight me on this #snape's not a bunch of roses #but seriously #peter is so much worse #you don't just betray your closest friends with fear being your only excuse #you just don't

I’m lowkey obsessed with this thought inspired by the fact that I have ‘driving shoes’. (I have a few specific pair of shoes I drive in and like to drive in)

You’re driving Joseph--because Jospeh’s car is in the shop for something. But the two of you need to grab grocery or run errands. So you’re driving and pull up the first spot of the day. It’s a long stop so you go to change out of your shoes and when you turn around to grab them from the backseat floor they’re gone. The back passenger door is just closing and Joseph’s missing from the front passenger seat too. 

He taps gently on the window and you crack open the door. “I need to change my shoes,” you’re saying and Joseph holds up the shoes you’re going to change into. “But you have them.”

He smiles--it’s a little shy. “Yeah, I’ve got them.”

He helps you change out of your shoes and to throw your driving shoes down on the car floor without much thought before grabbing your phone, wallet, and keys and then you head on into the store. 

At first you think it’s just going to be a one off situation. But no, once you get all the bags into the car he helps you change your shoes again. And now whenever you’re driving--which may not be super often considering Joseph does like to do most of the driving out of the two of you--he will literally kneel outside the driver side door and help you change shoes. 

Your driving shoes are easy to slip on and if the weather is bad you don’t worry about the fuss truly. And it never really takes you long when you’re by yourself. You can do it in a minute or so. But Joseph insists on helping you, bringing his glasses down from his hair as he gingerly places the shoes down to face you and you always spin to throw your feet over the side of the car. 

You always fuss that his pants will get dirty or he’s killing his knees but he always laughs and says something like, “Dirty clothes can be washed. Bad knees from helping my love will be worth it.”

I”LL SEE MYSELF OUT!

Thinking of how I've been incredibly spoiled by FF XIV and how its team handles ongoing stories. People keep repeating about the latest genshin conundrum that it's just called an ongoing story, and... no? It doesn't have to be like this?

Even if it's common it doesn't mean such a thing should be normal.

But maybe I'm just holding everyone else to an unreasonable standard.

#ff xiv #I've been unhappy with some of the narrative choices #5.3 finale I'm looking at you #sorrow of werlyt I'm looking at you too #also varis deserved better #I complain about pacing every single patch #I'm unhappy about the aetherology lectures right about now #but for the six years I've been playing I never felt let down #with genshin I feel let down #also the way ff14 does reveals #remember shadowhunter #I think delighted shouting kept reaching stratosphere for a month after the patch release #and the most touching thing was when they expanded the open demo not just to the main game #but also to heavensward #because you don't leave players on a cliffhanger like this #you just don't #yoshi-p and his team are nothing but considerate #and I came to appreciate that very much #there's something incredible in knowing that no matter what the authors do I won't be disappointed

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

#like majority of the time kids are not just 'being naughty'. they have big feelings inside little bodies it's a lot #also like. #it should be illegal to dye your hair fun colours if you aren't prepared for kids in public to ask if youre related to a my little pony #EDIT: the notes on this post are an absolute cesspool. i don't care about your reasons for hating kids you sound like a disney villain

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

#thinking about the person i saw saying that if you're at a protest #and other protesters try to stop you from becoming violent you should just kill them bc 'peace police are still police' #even taken as hyperbole that's simply dumb as shit on every conceivable level #it's also pretty blatantly hypocritical coming from people who are usually self-avowed prison/death penalty abolitionists #like i'm sorry but you don't get to be a death penalty abolitionist and also call for the death of your political enemies online #this isn't a major issue or anything i'm just bored and annoyed

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

#I don't have words to describe how I feel for the men of Palestine #the things I have seen them do after everything they have been through goes so far beyond selfless #what do you call this? this prevailing goodness and willingness to give everything they have and more? what word even touches it? #I don't think there is one #islamophobia has conditioned us to see these men and boys as evil and dangerous #we see this in how we speak about Palestine #and we need to uncondition ourselves #they're just as innocent and of value and good as the women and children #so fight for them #they don't deserve this any more than the women and children #free palestine #palestine

The math just adds up!

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #marcille donato #farcille #I always loved how chapter 27 ends with them both so bloody and 28 starts with them in the bath. #not just because of how iconic the bathtub moment is but because you know they had to scrap off so much gore first. #I think everyone in the party took a very long and methodical bath but Falin was basically *all* blood*. #Being covered in blood is one of those 'just girly things' that women deserve to stop being shamed about. #I just don't think Chilchuck is progressive enough. He probably made them take a bath first B*/ #Okay jestering aside I want to just highlight - #The magnitude of Marcille's joy at seeing her dearest friend again! Of holding her and sharing her presence in the same room! #Something about this reunion feels like a beautiful dream you are afraid of waking up from...

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
