lmao that assclown David Hogg went on Bill Maher and said probably the only smart thing he's ever said, that essentially young men are being driven away from voting Democrat because Democrats are just a bunch of judgemental assholes who'll excommunicate you for saying the wrong thing, and how that needs to change because the only thing young people should be focused on is "getting laid and having fun".

And of course the message Democrats took away from that was "men are finding it hard to get laid because they're sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. bigots and David Hogg is one of them and a piece of shit who doesn't understand Democrats at all".

A fucking Ouroboros, that's all the Democrats are.

My fellow creative friends: in our justified efforts to protest and push back against the use of AI in the arts and other areas that require the human touch/creativity/imagination, can we NOT become the AI Police accusing strangers of using AI?

Because I was just randomly accused of using AI in my writing. And I never have used AI for my creative hobbies and never will, but I also know I can't really prove I don't use it, so... frankly, the accusation really bothers me.

Look, I mainly learned to write by reading. Reading A LOT. My mom tells me I begged her to teach me to read when I was three years old - I don't remember that, but I DO remember reading short chapter books in kindergarten. I wrote my first Boxcar Children/Secret Garden-esque short story when I was six (weird fandom crossover as story inspiration, I know, but you can tell what some of my favorite books were as a little kid!). I wrote my first fix-it fic when I was ten (because I hated that the book I had just read ended on a cliffhanger with no sequel in sight after a decade). I read the Anne of Green Gables series so many times the binding split on half the books, and I genuinely believe the classics are called "classics" for very good reason.

All this to say... I use dashes, semicolons, and exclamation points far too often, I try to avoid cliche phrases or unnecessarily flowery language but sometimes it fits (I mean, there's a reason why the phrases have become cliche!, plus LM Montgomery is the queen of flowery descriptions [both literally and figuratively]), and there are some characters I write about who like to use big words.

And, at the end of the day, AI was (sadly) trained using human creations, including punctuation and language styles and vocabulary, so there is no one writing style or creative choice that automatically means AI was used.

Anyway, all I'm saying is: maybe, just maybe, there are better ways to protest AI than slinging accusations.

And for what it's worth, I will never use AI in my writing.

Having Scorpio moon is hella chaotic and unstable , yall think gemini/cancer is unstable? Scorpio is literally the opposite sign of taurus. taurus is all about inner security and stability. Scorpio moon will anticipate every threat , every ending, even tho u crave that security and stability so bad but it never feels satisfying and fulfilling bc u also deeply crave transformation and intensity bc ure so used to the chaos that it feels like the norm

There's no other way to sugarcoat this , scorpio is functioning from fear , but it's literally through fear and thro recognising our own mortality that we have the will power to survive. Its interesting bc taurus is also concerned with survival (food, shelter, our basic needs being met).

Scorpio reclaims their power by letting go and facing their fears. The more u desire control and power, the more its showing ur lack of it. Also why both Scorpio and taurus are possessive af signs , taurus is more selfish in that regard it wants to claim things as their own, while Scorpio is fearful of losing it so they'll hold on to it

U gotta stop downplaying your passionate emotional nature, stop avoiding ur fears and ur feelings, be OK w being misunderstood, master the art of letting go , let go of control, let them be, you don't own anything in this life, you're not meant to stay the same you're always meant to transform and rise from the ashes. Stop being afraid of ur own power, claim it.

Okay. Hear me out.

Here’s my pitch on how it would go down IF Optimus Prime met Shattered Glass Megatron and vice versa.

If Optimus Prime saw Shattered Glass Megatron, he would not believe his optics and think it wasn’t real until SG Megatron would would say-

“What the Primus-“ before getting tackled by Optimus Prime, Megatron would think bro was tryna fight him but nah, he just tackled hugs the guy and they just hug for a long time. Soaking in each other’s presence and realizing how they truly missed each other and that they can finally admit it, while being in each other’s arms.

However Megatron and SG Optimus Prime would totally try to kill each other within thirty seconds of meeting, that would be funny as hell if Megatron saw SG Op, blinked, lost him and then bro got tackled, it was on SIGHT.

Kinda unpopular opinion:

I think Trevor is most at blame for the fact that he and Hetty aren’t together at the moment. He has a habit of exploding and saying things without thinking, in order to keep himself guarded (we saw him do this big time in the Shelley episode). It’s kind of a recurring thing with him. Whenever he is hurt or nervous about being hurt, he walks away. He did that way back with the Nigel room situation, but then he calmed down and worked with Hetty on her level, realizing that she likely hadn’t had a guy who considered her needs, and she was very willing to compromise with him.

Hetty, for as far as she’s come, still has a habit of deferring to men in certain situations…especially when it comes to romantic things. She is very outspoken and no-nonsense in 90% of situations, but romance is still something pretty new to her and that takes a lot of learning more updated views and unlearning a lot of old ones. Throughout their relationship, (which we found out definitely seemed like a pretty serious relationship this past season), Trevor kept referring to it as “hooking up”, despite his actions saying otherwise. Heck, he even referred to it as “whatever this is” while breaking up with her.

Yes, Hetty could have been more caring and spoken to him regarding the Good Luck Chuck scenario. However, in that scene HE really didn’t explain himself. Just got really mad and ended things. The scene ended with Hetty looking completely devastated. But, he had ended it, so what could she really do? The moment she found out he had been hurt by it, (like, a year and a half later), she immediately apologized for hurting his feelings and felt terrible about it.

Hetty doesn’t really seem mean and cold; she just honestly doesn’t know what he’s doing since he’s all over the place. Any time she realizes he’s upset, she immediately apologizes for hurting him and seems truly regretful that she did.

And that’s not to mention how “Power Friends” came to be due to him being all “I’m not saying I want to get back together or anything” after he had just thrown a whole tantrum over how they weren’t together anymore, (and then immediately backtracked on his ‘not wanting to get back together’ statement all within the same sentence).

Like, bro…she likes you. You like her. Stop with the emotional whiplash 🤣

growing up as a queer person in the countryside is a really isolating experience, and i know it can be the same in any other place, but in the countryside, everyone know your name, your parents', or your grand parents' name in some ways, which becomes a pressure as time goes by, as you discover yourself, who you want and who you can be. This is something that is often disreagard in medias as it's a really particular experience, but i think that The Summer Hikaru Died puts a new light toward this.

being aware of your identity at a young age makes everything so difficult : not only do you have to deal with discovering yourself, which a big part of your teenage years, but you also have to deal with the consequences of being queer in a place where everyone knows everything. The moment you are more comfortable with someone to the point of telling them you're queer, or even in general, showing your queerness somewhere in any way, there's only one question: who knows? and then, seeing your friends, your family, people you only know from sight: do they know?

and i don't even talk about all the dangers that comes with your queerness when you live in these places.

the shame of being queer where you were "supposed" to be like any other person you know is truly isolating too, because the only other queer people you know are just known for being queer, and you end up thinking you'll be the queer one too if you don't get out of here.

it's just loneliness at some points, because you just keep thinking : will my family be remembered because of me? because i'm queer?

kind of a depressing post honestly, and i consider myself lucky regarding my situation. but i still deal with some kind of internalised homophobia to this day, and a fear of being openly queer despite having good people around me. and it's because i was always told to be aware of the way people around me percieve me and my family.

anyways, this is why tshd resonated with me so much, i'm so glad i discovered this manga <3

Having the age-old "should Souls-like games have an easy mode" argument with someone who compared it to "an important building with no ramps or lifts", and asked the question why shouldn't accessibility be legally mandated like it is in real life.

Someone explain to me why Dark Souls is paramount to one's survival? No seriously, tell me why that of all games is the key to life and death; how if you can't play and beat the game, you will magically die on the spot.

It's such a ridiculous analogy, one which I even called them on thinking they'd maybe made it in haste and realized that after the fact, but no, they doubled down and told me the analogy was sound, but provided no argument as to why.

And then he has the gall to call me privileged while he sits there complaining about how he can't play a video game. Like, what the fuck. If anyone is the last person who should be calling others privileged, it's that guy.

No surprise he blocked me, of course lmao.

I despise the weird way writers talk about themselves online these days. This weird loserish persona, manner of talking fluctuating into a desire to be a cool it girl and the obsession with babitz and didion. I can’t articulate this thought perfectly, and other people have already pointed it out better, but I’m mostly bothered by the strange cadence, how everything is about being a typical #writer ™ the “are any other writers out there feeling…” style posting. The self promo threads. Tweets with four photos of women thinking and it’s like “me writing my weekly substack.” It all feels devoid, like the writing doesn’t seem to matter all, just that they can be called something. And this strange disconnect of posing the question, “am I the only one” when art is often a deliberate act that involves knowing you are not the only one. And if you feel alone maybe write something about it rather than pose yourself as this unique loser who is so different so curious if anyone can possibly be the same. Idk. And maybe that’s real hater hater vibes but it’s like they don’t even notice that the people they admire, who feature in their aestheticized idea of writing, don’t talk or act or think about themselves that way. Not just the writers of the past but the present too. Which if they want to I guess what does it matter to me, but it’s so…self serving isn’t the word but at present I don’t know what the right one is.

Let me tell you there are people out there that think Hobie wouldn't smoke weed because doing so is a 'black stereotype'

They think he wouldn't smoke weed because he's 'too aware' and woke for that and he would never want to be dazed out and intoxicated

Let me tell you

They will believe this - even the guy has said it himself that he gets intoxicated

BY DRINKING.

AND ENJOYS IT.

And to that I say

Bro why

10,001 fics of Hobie at a pub drinking it's cool but then there's a couple of him smoking some trees and it's 'hate when ppl reduce him to a stereotype 😪'

like hey buddy hey pal

I know these statistics are American but the guys from 1978 or something

let's be real here let's be ever so real

if he admits to drinking what convinces you smoking is out of the picture?? do you really think he'd think weed is worse than liqour??

The only alternative I'll accept is he's one of those people that gets anxious while he's high

Cause it's funny to think of Hobie taking a singular hit then being like 'nah bruv that shit is scaring the hell outta me 😩 fuck is my heart racing for'

Reader having to help Hobie chill out cause he got SO HIGH his spider sense started bugging out so now he's laying on the ceiling face down doing deep breathing exercises

And the reader is like 'see that's what you get for trying to hit the bong like that'

I just watched K-Pop Demon Hunters and MAN.

WHAT IS THERE TO SAY THAT HASN’T BEEN SAID?! It’s gorgeous, the music is on LOOP in both my head and on my phone, the character designs are CHEFS KISS, the characters are IMMACULATE, the animation is PERFECTION.

It’s just a really great movie and I’m lowkey OBSESSED WITH IT.

But a thing I noticed a lot of people saying when I was scrolling about Instagram looking at the REELS UPON REELS OF HUNTRIX AND SAJA BOYS…was people saying that both Zoey and Mira were BAD friends and shouldn’t have been forgiven because of what they did to Rumi.

HUH.

Before I RIP THAT ARGUMENT APART! I will just say from what I’ve seen it’s less than five comments, so try not to make it a big deal…I can though as I’m not only gonna talk about how WRONG that is but also about how WELL WRITTEN this movie is.

So basically the reel I saw on instagram was about how both Zoey and Mira raised up their weapons against Rumi and how Zoey only had TWO of her blades instead of her usual six and everyone in the comments were talking about how SAD this scene was and it is and I saw a comment that I will not lie, it grinded my GEARS.

It basically said something along the lines that Mira and Zoey shouldn’t have been forgiven and the only person that really accepted Rumi was Jinu. Even saying something like “No wonder Rumi feared telling them…THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. Which sure, you can say that it’s your opinion.

But my argument is that they were never even GIVEN A CHANCE.

Multiple times in the movie, Rumi had chances to tell them, when they all sat down in the couch scene for example, their makeup was off, they were being vulnerable…it would have been a great time to talk to them, TO TELL THEM.

But Rumi didn’t. I’m not blaming Rumi here, she has a lot of self hatred and she knows that with the SAJA Boys breathing down their necks that it was a bad time to probably drop that bombshell but I would argue there would never be a good time to drop something as heavy as “Hey guys, sorry for lying to you guys but I’m actually THE THINGS WE SWORE WE WOULD PROTECT THE WORLD FROM.” Like that WILL NOT GO OVER WELL IN ANY SITUATION. But she had multiple chances to but didn’t and she had her reasons why but so were the girls as they were under a lot of pressure too. By Celine.

Celine I don’t hate. I don’t like her but she is a good antagonist, not a villain like the Demon King, but she is someone who unintentionally set the girls up to fail.

She obviously held Rumi to the highest standards out of all the girls but Zoey and Mira still were held up by impossible expectations and standards too, to hide any imperfections and all, literally after Rumi fumbled the first Golden Live Performance and they all sit down, they all mention- “hehe silly Celine, but yeah no she is right hide your flaws.” They were held up HIGH, because they were supposed to make the Golden Honmoon, if not their world could be susceptible to demon attacks. They have hard lives too, being in the lime light AND having to sing and dance to perfection to reach the Honmoon WHILE ALSO FIGHTING DEMONS. These girls seem like they’re in their early twenties so DAMN.

What I’m trying to say, in their perspective they had the right to be suspicious and even scared of Rumi after finding out she’s a demon.

Imagine their perspective, Rumi has been pushing them to achieve the Golden Honmoon, then suddenly she gets all chummy with a DEMON (Jinu) and they are worried for her voice and her because she’s acting off, like she’s hiding something then after seeing Bobby getting kidnapped, SIKE ITS DEMONS, then BOOM…Rumi is a demon.

They don’t know what to believe and I won’t lie, watching that scene. I would’ve reacted similarly to Zoey. I wouldn’t want to hurt my friend but Rumi was SCARY. She was scared and vulnerable but her demon voice literally shook the building. Mira has the right to be angry, Zoey has the right to feel scared while Rumi has the right to feel EVERYTHING.

I like how complex the story is, because I see no wrong sides here. Rumi should’ve told them but she was groomed to believe that she was WRONG and the only way to right that wrong was to achieve the Golden Honmoom and Zoey and Mira were probably taught by Celine that all demons are MONSTERS.

Celine is the true cause of all this discourse because she couldn’t accept who Rumi was. She was a hunter but also a demon, she LEGITIMATELY SAID that when they lost Rumi’s mom, she said she would protect what was left her mom’s legacy, not thinking there was a CHILD. That scene breaks my heart as she COULDN’T EVEN TOUCH RUMI’S CHEEK TO COMFORT HER. She couldn’t love all of Rumi. She couldn’t love her flaws, in her eyes Rumi’s flaw was her demon side, but that isn’t a flaw…she was just born that way and that’s okay.

Celine is such a complex character because even though we DON’T KNOW all the details of her and her sisters (I’m assuming the Sunlight Sisters are actual Sisters) we know she probably pushed her sisters away because of her need for PERFECTION. She pushed that onto Rumi, Mira and Zoey…

Because she couldn’t accept Rumi, Rumi couldn’t accept herself and that caused her to keep massive secrets and that caused a rift between HUNTRIX. It’s so complex and complicated and…beautiful.

To see that it’s not cut and dry and black and white. It’s more grey, that’s what I love about this movie. It’s AMAZING and that’s why I love This is What it’s Sounds Like, because it covers all those JUICY WRITING AND YESSSS.

Hopefully this makes sense, I’ll probably rant more about my headcannons about Celine, the Sunlight Sisters and even Rumi’s mom and MOREEEEEE! Because this movie is a GOLD MINE of detail and crafted with such love.

It’s the closest thing to perfect even with all its flaws…see what I did there-

I don’t have a favourite I love them all equally.
