im getting real sick of 'intelligence'
who decided reading books and writing counted as intelligence? who decided that getting high scores on a strict, unfeeling system meant you were better than everybody? who decided that people should be turned into numbers, tie their worth in society into numbers, to compare people on a scale that ultimately does not matter, so that the people who didn't dump everything to perform for it are berated and the people who did end up with nothing?
who decided not reading or writing was a lack of intelligence? who decided that living differently to them was a sign of lower 'societal worth' than those who conformed?
#r slur#and a big rant#in the following tags#this too is just a tool for oppression#but if you had been crushed in the grips of the education system and left limp in the dirt you knew that already#but it's not only a way for society to weed out the 'retards'. it's more than that#let me tell you something#estonia used to be in tribes around the 1000s-1200s or so#a lot of our old historical records were written by someone else#usually christian invaders and other occupying forces who thought we were barbaric and what have you#because we were pagan (especially with Taarapita) and *we did not have a written language*#according to christian-western ideals this means that our population must be like super dumb#and its 'our job' to enlighten them :)#and they did this with anyone who didn't conform.#intelligence has always been a tool to excuse it#so it feels good#so it feels right#You're 'helping' them. enlightening a primitive race#so that they follow Our standards#it's colonialism all the way down#and it still echoes into the modern day. we still see academia as intelligence while we ignore proficiency in other forms#let's not forget the classism of it either. i live in the CEO of classism#working class people are seen as dumber and are thus treated worse because they didn't dump all of their money/future money into#a societally-approved institution like oxford or something#despite the fact that they rely on working class people to operate#or the fact that their booksmarts don't cover years of knowing how to run a corner store#i suppose the general conclusion i want to convey is that we can all do different things well and using a linear scale is bullshit#(and an oppressive tool lol)#people are good at different things and you have to learn to be ok with that#this applies to anything - trades/ crafts/ booksmarts/ spectrums of neurodivergence/ etc

Kinda need the whole family being tired as fuck from Tim's love stories and drama, so they send him away every time he finds a new crush.
Tim, struggling on how to confess to Kon: Hey, Dick, can you give me a dating advice? Dick: Oh, sure Dick, beaming cluelessly: Are you back with Steph? Tim: Oh no, I- Dick: Oh, right, sorry! Bart, right? Tim, embarrassed: No, I was- Dick: Omg, sorry, it was, uh, Bern? Tim: You know what... Forget it. Tim: *leaves* Dick, sighing in relief: Works every time. I hate giving dating advices.
Tim: Steph, can I have a dating advice? Steph, unimpressed: Are you cheating on someone again? Tim: ...Whatever.
Tim: Bruce- Bruce, hopeful: Yeah? Need help with something? Tim, thinking twice: ...Uh, actually no. Bruce: :(
Tim, stopping in front of Damian's door, unsure: ... Damian, right through the closed door: Drake. Spare us both. Tim: *groan*
Tim: So, I have this situation... Duke: Wait, I'll put the voice message recording, I need to send this to Cass, while she is on the mission Tim: Oh my god, MY LIFE IS NOT EVEN THAT MESSY! FORGET IT.
Tim, seething through his teeth on Jason's doorstep: You are my last hope. I am not even kidding. Jason: Woah. What happened to Alfie? Tim, with his eye twitching: He started to reminisce about his romance with Lizzie. Like, Queen Elizabeth. Lizzie. I can't listen to this any more. I need fucking advice. How to confess to Kon. Jason, who constantly writes fanfiction, but since his love life is non-existent at this point, uses his family's messy dating histories as an inspiration and references: ...Okay. Tim, gagged: Seriously? Jason: Yeah. Just work with me. What we are working with? Bridgerton ass romance? Miss Austen type of flair? Bronte's kind of insanity? Tim, sniffling: tHanK yOu

“We need better public transit and more passenger railways” — fuck yeah I’m all about this~
“… and we need to actively discourage people from owning and driving cars and it should be illegal actually” — FUCK NO.
I don’t know why pro-public transit people have to be so obnoxious about this and ostracize people who would otherwise support their cause. I also find it amusing that they’re more than willing to be massive dicks to me for not hating on cars, until I mention I’m disabled and immune compromised and a lot of times not being able to go DIRECTLY from point A to point B (and limit my exposure to other people’s germs) will stop me from being able to do things and go places. At which point they usually stop engaging with me because I don’t fit the stereotype of disabled and unable to drive.
Overall, a lot of causes shoot themselves in both feet by saying that in order to do X thing (which most people would agree is positive) they need to take Y away from you (for no good reason).

Being a person who pays attention to politics and is affected by others suffering around you is really odd because I’ll be going through my day filled with dread, grief, worry, etc. because of y’know, everything going on right now, and most of the people I encounter are just completely oblivious. The “big beautiful bill” just passed today, which on top of many other things, likely means that a TON of Americans are going to lose their healthcare, and everyone is still going on as normal with all the 4th of July bullshit. It’s insane to me; I don’t understand how you can go and celebrate a country while that country is actively trying to kill you. I get there’s nuance and that life can’t stop every time something happens and all that, but it seams like people don’t even care anymore unless something is effecting them right this second.
But according to the people around me my whole “caring about others” thing makes me a “bummer” to be around so idk, maybe I am the crazy one for giving a damn at all at this point.

Why dont you ever write handlers into ur hybrid posts??
Bc the concept that a hybrid would *need* a handler to control them based on the fact alone that they're a hybrid feels lowkey bioessentialist to me.
Sure, hybrids may have some unique instincts or needs, but they are still fully sapient people capable of making decisions. To reduce a character down to an human overwhelmed by animal instincts in everyday circumstances would be a disservice to the character 🤷‍♂️
Same reason I dont have omegas that go into heat and fall over for any alpha, even those they hate. Omegas in heat is like...the more fune version of ovulation. Thats it. They are the same person in heat as they are outside of it.

To me there’s like a line between the Bad Kids who were always themselves extremely authentically and that fucked them up socially (Riz, Adaine, Gorgug) and the Bad Kids who spent a good portion of their lives playing a part and that fucked them up mentally (Fabian, Kristen, Fig)
#that’s why the latter three blended in so well to the popular kid landscape: they’re so used to playing a part#meanwhile riz adaine and gorgug are very unused to being popular and it’s a very big change for them#gorgug to an extent also has to deal with repressing his rage so he does get it a bit#however he doesn’t have to deal with his entire identity and personality for others like the other three#what fucks me up is that fabian and fig are still to some extent playing a part even if it’s changed over the years#a good part of Kristen’s arc is her being authentically herself and the consequences that brought#so she kinda gets that nice reprieve that I feel like the other two don’t get as much#and yeah the two of them have the bad kids and fig has ayda and they can drop the act around them#but they do still have to play a part#(and if you’ll allow me to be insane over fabian for a minute) the fact that outside of the party fabian doesn’t really have anyone he feels#comfortable being himself around is one of the tragedies of his character considering he’s still trying to be perfect for everyone else#even fig is learning to be her authentic self with people outside of her friends and gf and fabian just doesn’t get that#anyways. rant over. just will always be thinking about Them#autism (mads) speaks#fantasy high#the bad kids#fabian aramais seacaster#riz gukgak#adaine abernant#gorgug thistlespring#kristen applebees#fig faeth#d20 fantasy high#dimension 20 fantasy high

Okay but what's really cool is that you can see these artists really studied the performance aspects of Kpop. The way the promo video is filmed. The variety shows, the fashion of Huntrix, and especially the performance of Saja Boys (since we saw more of their performance whereas we saw the fighting aspect more for huntrix). I mean they really really nailed the performance aspect.
Like in soda pop; the debut was refreshing fresh and charming therefore the gazes were softer—the part where Abs guy brings down his collar for a second for the "refreshing" part of the lyrics— that would actually be a well thought out choreography in real life (reminscent of Txt, Tws, BND, NCT dream, Riize, and Pentagon in their early days).
And then their second song—Your Idol—was darker and therefore their gazes changed (hungrier and sensous) and their moves were sharper (with literal claws). Kpop HAS that duality in gaze. And especially when the rapper (Baby Saja?) brings his claws down his face for the "fame made me viral" part? Adlib definitely (reminscent of Ateez, Enhypen, Monsta X, Stray Kids, Seventeen, The boyz, Onlyoneof, Pentagon, Exo, NCT and Big Bang—especially in the rap aspects—and Got7). THEY REALLY NAILED IT.
TELL ME HOW AI CAN REPLICATE THIS. THAT'S WHY HUMAN ARTISTS WILL ALWAYS BE SUPERIOR

you always land on all fours
#umineko#umineko spoilers#ikuko hachijo#ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long#now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more#overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way#like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism#the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery#^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend#(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of#to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers#and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's#entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in#featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is#putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine#not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c#i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case#with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her#insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite#to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the#ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry#her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part#like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very#similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime#which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person#hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

I just want you to know that I was rereading the PDMDZS comics yet again, and I finally caved and watched Legally Blonde because you're like a puppeteer that draws things and I'm like "well, guess I have to see it now." Now, after watching Legally Blonde, I must tell you that Elle Woods is love, Elle Woods is life, Elle Woods is everything to me. Elle Woods would have been able to save Wei Wuxian from the Jins all while looking sparkly and fantastic as she does it. (Obviously with her hype girlies in the background)

Isn’t it kind of hilarious that people genuinely believe two of the most guarded, tight-lipped, blackout-curtain-loving humans on earth would ever flaunt a real relationship in public? Harry and Louis — two walking vaults — willingly parading around a legit romance? Be serious.
I get it, I do. People want to trust what’s said out loud. It’s comforting to take things at face value. But the thing is — nothing about them has ever been surface-level. These two have practically made a career out of subtext. Lyrics that ache with double meaning, silence that screams, glances louder than press releases — it’s all there. You just have to look. (And apparently not everyone passed “Reading Between the Lines 101.”)
The double standards from antis? Actually comical. “Well, they denied it,” they say. As if we haven’t all denied ordering that third McFlurry at midnight. As if denial is truth and art is just… decoration? They’ll ignore entire albums that read like personal diaries and instead cling to one interview quote from 2013 like it’s the gospel. It’s like watching someone throw out a whole novel because the blurb on the back confused them. They blindly believe a stunt that was “confirmed” by headlines and a “relationship” that’s only a press release.
Honestly, if you need a neon-lit billboard or a press release titled “We’re in Love, Please Take Us Seriously,” maybe this mystery isn’t for you. Some of us are thriving in the poetry of it all — the crumbs, the parallels, the quiet matching tattoos.
Anyway, I’m tired. My brain is doing backflips trying to make sense of people who refuse to see. But I’ll keep connecting dots and laughing at the absurdity while they keep asking, “Where’s the proof?” with a blindfold on.

Big sister who gropes her little sister’s tiny tits. Makes fun of them, squishing them against her own that are shoved into a push up bra, making them even more big. With this relentless torment and being called a boy, her little sis asks how she can fix it, make them better.
“By getting your tits sucked and touched, duh. I let boys touch mine all the time. It’s why they’re so big. Here, pull up your shirt, let me show you.”
