one thing that is fascinating to me about merrill's arc is the way narrative manages to convince a big part of the fandom that she's immature and irresponsible and overall stupid. what we know about merrill and what we actually see on screen is that she successfully avoids possession for 6 years while working closely with a demon, almost every time she participates in some magic/spirit-related discourse she acts calm and confident and has some interesting input, she actively uses her knowledge of dalish lore and tradition to reason with her keeper, and that she actually did make progress with fixing and studying an ancient long forgotten artifact no one knows particularly anything about. but then an old woman who's never been shown to be an undeniably wise and reasonable figure, a guy who got willingly possessed with no awareness of possible consequences and whose whole mindset is still deeply andrastian and a bunch of people who know nothing about magic start judging and doubting her and everyone's like. yeah. she's so fucking dumb.

listen i am geralt of rivia hater number one but one thing i actually CANNOT stand is when the fandom mischaracterizes him. took one look at this man who speaks very straight-forwardly and matter-of-fact and is a little recalcitrant with his words sometimes and went "haha he communicates in grunts! man who only says 'hm'!" and then won't even write him to speak in full fucking sentences. hello???? hello???????? yes the netflix show was a bad influence on everybody because they were trying too hard to depict geralt as a stoic manly badass but we CANNOT let that distract us from the REAL thing to make fun of geralt for. which are his Constant Unprovoked Monologues
#also the fact that he fakes his dumb stupid little rivian accent because the man was NOT raised in rivia. but i digress#'haha he only says hm!' where were you for every episode when he launched into a speech about the lesser evil. that's like. the whole thing#geralt of rivia will do nothing But talk once you let him. don't give that bitch a chance! he'll start up about honor again!!!#convinced that most of this is because netflix show insisted on showing us him around jaskier so much#and jaskier does not shut up. love him to death. but geralt genuinely does not have time to get a word in edgewise#i will admit that this is something that i had to learn by reading the books and paying more attention to it#but it's not like he DOESN'T do it in the show. if you ever sit with a witcher episode transcript for whatever reason#and really take a look at geralt's lines. man he talks a whole fucking lot.#again cannot emphasize enough that he Monologues. HE TALKS HIS WAY OUT OF SO MANY SITUATIONS.#me when i look filavandrel of the elves in the eyes and 'hm' at him and he lets me go. no bitch he monologued!!!!#terrible. terrible. let this man speak. if i see you fanfic bitches continue making him talk in sentence fragments again i'm gonna kill#as for my own fanfic. i will always prefer a geralt who talks too much to be believable over a geralt who barely speaks at all.#both because i believe in letting him speak his mind which he OBVIOUSLY likes to do. sideeyes him.#and because it's just fucking boring and a little annoying to read speech patterns that don't sound like how people talk.#cough cough lan wanji the untamed. man i'm not sitting here and reading this motherfucker's two word sentences#let him speak!!!!!!#anyway.#geralt of rivia#the witcher#fanfic

Hmmm should I trust this text message I got from "United States Postal Service" that came from a number that has the country code of 62 (Indonesia's code) telling me my package was undeliverable and I need to re-put in my personal info by clicking a link that has been abbreviated so I can't see where it directs to or... ?

anyways i fully believe that canonically madara and/or zetsu made her do it with a slave seal because the alternative leaves me too salty to mention.
YESSSSS. I'm of the opinion that while the seal didn't fully control her, it wrecked her ability to think rationally and also probably made her mind fixate on the idea that she had to die or everyone else would.
Either way, the seal having an Effect on her that pushed her to do it makes so much more sense than her (canonically incredibly intelligent and compassionate) not considering the danger she would leave Kakashi in, or the fact that their teacher is a teleporting seal master...

I am extremely sad and miserable and angry today, and I want to do something stupid, but I almost certainly won't, because I think I am mature enough now not to do something stupid, but I can't tell you enough how much I hate it. God I hate it. I hate life. I hate being alive. I wish I had never lived. Where is it all even going? Nothing could possibly be worth this. God damn it.

one of my favorite parts of strategy games like chess and advance wars is that feeling when you haven't quite won yet but the enemy has no real options so it feels like you're just sloowly wrapping around them like a snake. when all your enemy has is their king and you've managed to turn 3 of your pawns into queens, and all you've gotta do is get in juust the right position, and in the meantime all they can do is squirm. god, that's such a wonderful feeling. nothing quite like it
#incidentally i don't like it when versions of chess insist on enforcing a stalemate rule#honestly to a certain extent i feel like if your enemy has nothing but a king and you've got more than one queen that should just be an#automatic win. like exodia except instead of the individual pieces being useless they're all the most powerful monster card in the game#i think the favorite card i had as a kid was my five headed dragon. thought that shit was so cool. 5000 in both attack and defense???#it seemed unbeatable to my little kid brain. also it was a dragon. of course i loved it#i never learned how to Actually play yugioh of course. just what rules my stupid kid reading comprehension could understand#im pretty sure a monster has to be in play for you to be able to sacrifice it. i didn't know that so i filled my deck with nothing but#really strong monsters and i'd just sacrifice some directly from my hand to summon what i wanted#i stole a lot of yugioh cards as a kid from target. i'm comfortable saying this online because the statute of limitations has absolutely ru#out by now. i looked it up.#i remember for the first time i stole a box set that had exodia. i remember on my way home so i could open it... i genuinely felt like ther#was something mystical in that box. something ancient. there was something really special about that to my kid brain#i'd later steal quite a few more because i got the bright idea to fill a deck with nothing but exodia cards. i figured i'd always have a#first draw win. took me until actually trying to play it that i realized i'd often just get 5 left arms which obviously wouldn't work#so i took that deck and added some actual monsters to “hold me off”. it was pretty much just a normal deck with too much space taken up by#essentially useless cards. i don't think i ever actually won by drawing exodia naturally. what a shame#side note but i still get a bit anxious every time i go to that target. i haven't in years and i can basically guarantee they wouldn't#recognize Grown Ass Adult me as “that kid who stole a lot of yugioh cards”. it's been almost a decade if memory serves#i've grown a lot since then. both physically and metaphorically#i digress

stupid stupid drama, but I really hate when people call me "girlie" & "baby girl", particularly strangers. like Don't. I don't give a singular fuck how "gender neutrally" you mean it. You don't fucking know me like that.

i cannot recommend publically embarrassing yourself on the internet enough because then you can do and say like pretty much anything and it’ll never feel embarrassing again in comparison

i know the hidden strife event kinda established that kaeya only started wearing the eyepatch after the fight with diluc to hide a scar but. i like the idea that his right eye is different from the other in some khaenri'ah/abyss/curse related way. and that he always kept it hidden even if it wasn't blind exactly (maybe it worked fine, just looked strange? maybe it worked strangely too. im fond of the idea that his right eye has something to do with his spy role. i mean, he has to pass information to the other side, right? that's what being a spy implies.. what better way than having an eye connected to said other side in some nebulous way. anyways this is a very disarticulated thought and i digress). i also like the idea that said eye is still scarred, and that diluc, in that fit of rage, aimed at it on purpose lol

#rant time:#its things like this that i always hated in this fandom with this band#the minute they are off they arent just off#their time off is also commodified#they cant just go away and work they have to be seen and stunt#like January was always the most annoying month from 2013 to 2016#there was always some dumb stunt just as the holidays began#first with Caroline in 2011 and taylor in 2012#and eleanor from 2011 to 2015#then Kendall and others for harry#they need harry to have a girl for the winter and january was stunt time#it just always made us want to speed run the month since concerts would#start in February every year but 2014 cuz of nialls surgery#now we've lived through camille olivia and this new taylor for january#all of them meant to be love interests for albums too which was stupid but i digress there#then we have louis last year with that dumb pap walk after elounor bua#now we might have her back ugh#its so unnecessary since we have been told versions of louis writing style#he has one but says he doesnt truly need the muse. bs but its something he has said#only time will tell but i dont want to deal with more depressed louis pics#or more of dothehussell they are both dumb#can we let harry have an actuall break and let louis enjoy his tour#let us get rid of the child too please#i can only watch so many videos where you can literally see actual pics of louis laid over the childs face#this was the stuff i was tired of in 2019 i dont want more in 2024#alright rant over#if you read thanks

Have picked up some new tumblr followers recently, some of whom aren't even pornbots (I KNOW!) so I thought I should clear up a thing I almost never bother to actually explain.
This:
Tumblr media
is Default Hawkeye. To distinguish him from Arrows Hawkeye, star of several things that I... mostly haven't actually got round to watching yet (he was in the first Thor film, wasn't he? I've seen that! More than once, even!) but I have seen many giftsets of Arrows Hawkeye and I have a friend IRL who I occasionally ask to remind me whether or not he is Deaf in the MCU. (And then I forget almost immediately and have to ask again. And again. And...)
But Default Hawkeye remains my default association with the name, which is occasionally confusing though nowhere near as confusing (and disturbing) as the fact that my default "Chris Evans" is still Billie Piper's ex. *the yikes emoji goes here but I can't find it rn*

#a little bit of a happy rant... (can rants be happy? if not i don't know the word then lol)#a while ago when i was deep diving into autism research because i'm 98% sure i'm autistic#i told my mom this and i also told her i wanted to go see a psychiatrist to get diagnosed#bad idea cause my mom is the type of person who thinks ''everyone is a little autistic'' which is stupid but anyways she didn't believe me#she thinks putting labels on things is bad and we shouldn't do it#but this is not a fun label... this is an actual diagnosis!!#i digress. the point is that i stoped talking about it because i don't have the energy or desire to try to convince my mother#that i know what goes on inside my brain.#but my brother! My brother is a sweetheart#he seems like he doesn't give a shit about anything but every now and then he will drop the cutest most affirming comments#(he did that when i came out as trans too)#i'm sure my brother has adhd if not autism or possibly both so maybe he has looked it up before or at least understands it better#but like for christmas he wanted to get me a weighted blanket because i'm always talking about how i need preassure and weight on me#and also that i like rocking myself to sleep (i need one of those automatic rocking chairs for babies but like adult size)#anyways he aknowledges (let's pretend i can spell that word) what i said and my suspicions of autism#today the noise of a tiny bit of air escaping from a badly close bottle lid was annoying me#i wasn't in the room i may add#when i complained my mom was like ''damn! that hearing!'' or somthing like that#and my brother. very casually said ''it's the autism'' which made me so fucking happy that is the first time someone fucking believes me!#but then my mom went ''naaah there's no autism here'' (or somthing amongst those lines) which took my excitement aways#but anyways i love my brother and his casual support <3#angel talks#personal
