"Shen Qingqiu's interest in such strange creatures was equivalent to the average Zhongdian reader's interest in the hundreds of flower-like maidens, each more beautiful than the last" how am I supposed to take this to mean anything other than SQQ being a monsterfucker

Need to see more Yandere! Batman content from you. Everyone is so delightfully weird and unsettling. Tim and Dick in particular, what a duo of freaks (affectionate + derogatory)

i just covered dick but fjkdlsjfkdsjfks jkl tim drives me crazy in a different direction,,, i think most of bruce's orphan collection would be fairly good at hiding their freak flag until they've got you more-or-less trapped, but not tim. he's bugging your phone day one. he's got cameras in every room of the apartment mysteriously offered to you by the wayne enterprise affordable housing initiative. he's leaving board meetings without warning to watch live footage of you masturbating and wishing he was your hand. and it never occurs to him to actually talk to you until jason pulls him aside to be like 'i know i'm a criminal drug lord but this is felony shit dude'. his greatest desire in life is to stare at you unblinkingly from the other side of a small room and unfortunately that rarely ends well for you.

it's bleak how most of the things people think will assuage and temper men are the things that embolden them. "prostitutes exist so men don't rape us" the human trafficking industry that is prostitution is an ever-growing industry that produces propaganda that enables men in society to rape MORE not less. by objectifying women and children, it puts all our heads on the chopping block. "he just needs to settle down and get married" most femicide, rape and domestic violence are committed by husbands/boyfriends. "if men just had daughters/sisters they'd see women as human" as a daughter and sister, i can confirm that we're extra caretakers of said men, and that our kindness is taken as proof that "good women" are subservient and domestic helpers.

if you want to de-radicalize men, you have to actually just stop tolerating misogyny in any form no matter what woman it's done against. stop trying to dialogue with men and start socioeconomically punishing them. people want to act like "separatism doesn't solve anything" when governments and companies only started paying attention when they saw birth and marriage rates drop. it is not women's job to save men from themselves and some feminists still don't get that. pandering to men always results in LESS rights for us. we have to become radically INTOLERANT.

How did Vanessa know Foggy needed to be killed soon??

Foggy didn't even consult with Matt about his strategy on the case and hadn't filed his motion for dismissal yet. The DAs office was equally clueless, based on Kirsten trying to needle the information out of him. Foggy put Benny under protection because of threats.

So where did the info come from?

tr!Bad and tr!Water need to have a conversation with each other a million blocks out where no one else can give input tbh. There’s a lot of “I need this and I’m not getting it ” from both sides - which is helpful in communicating - but there’s not enough “what would you have me do”

The question “what would you have me do” could clear up whether or not the friendship is salvageable pretty quickly I think. They’re not really understanding each other currently even though they are trying to communicate, and that question could break through all that. If Bad asks “what would you need me to do to save this friendship” and Water says “isolate yourself from everyone besides me and spend more time with me than anyone else” then that’s. Well that’s it. Bad is unwilling to do that (as of right now) so that’s the end. Problem solved.

But Water might, with the question “what would you have me do” be able to elaborate that it’s the ‘favorite’ portion of Bad having friends that she dislikes, not the ‘having friends’ itself. At least, that’s the vibe I’m getting. That still might be too much for Bad, but maybe there’s things he can do to prove to Water that others are not his favorites without ever verbally choosing a favorite specifically. Maybe actions can speak louder than words in this instance, and neither of them have even explored that because they’re not asking what they should do. They’re not discussing what they want a potential friendship to actually look like, in practice - they just have a nebulous concept that neither of them agree on.

The same goes for Water btw, but I feel her asking the “what would you have me do” question is less applicable because she’s the one trying to sever the connection, while Bad is the one trying to salvage it. Not to say I don’t think Water wants a friendship, she clearly cares (even if she doesn’t want to care), but if someone is going to take action first it’s probably going to need to be Bad, leading by example. The question needs to come from him first, and then he decides if he’s willing to do what Water suggests. If he is willing to at least try, then Water can follow up with “so what about my scenario isn’t ideal for you? what would you have me do?”

I say all this like I think they’d actually talk out their problems healthily even though Water is apparently perfectly aware of what boundaries are in regards to a relationship, and that they’re healthy - she just doesn’t want them. Which. I mean. That’s kind of a red flag, isn’t it. Not that I or Bad or any holywater duo fans care.

There are 10,000 holes that could be poked into this argument but ultimately this is just like. One of many examples of the fact that these same people thatre vying for the elimination of transmascs/masculinity online do not go outside and interact with real life trans people. It’s just an echo chamber of nothingburger takes.

[poisonousforyoureyes]

the way they manage to make the episode in which we find out that wilson's dating amber entirely about hilson

only on a surface level they make it seem like house's pining over patient of the week, ie a hot, caring doctor who can give house a run for his money and is willing to sacrifice herself for her patients' sake

Beyblade X Episode 39: The Greatest Blader

This episode was ONE heck of a ride that’s what I’m going to say (pretending like I’m not shaking in my boots right now)

Okay so you guys know when the episode starts, Robin says the title out loud, right? When he said it, it sounded lower and more… I can’t quite pin the feeling but, it was like a suspenseful sort of tone, if you get what I mean. I might be reading too much into this but I really liked how it made me just cling to the edge of my seat just ITCHING and waiting to see the battle

ALWAYS ALWAYS love to see family interactions and especially Bladers when they were tiny, LOOK AT BABY TITUS HE’S ADORABLE!!! I love that his launch form here implies he’s been keeping it until the present (because it’s the same in the present), he looks like a lion cub trying to be intimidating but not quite enough

And the way Quinn doesn’t hold back in her battles even if it’s against her own grandson, she’s making sure to teach him everything there is which is GAHHH it’s nice to see

Then…

I LOVED HOW THEY DID THIS. 100% SO CLEVER THIS IS AMAZING. X can mean a LOT of things, and here, it’s the variable in Quinn’s equation. She thought she would know the outcome, but it turns out X can be a lot of numbers… and in this case, numerous results and numerous X-treme Dashes. X can be ANYTHING. Jaxon is pretty much unpredictable and he doesn’t fit in Quinn’s equation because he’s X.

And when she started to realize Jaxon isn’t anything or anyone she’s seen before—

He just outright says “Tell me this Miss Quinn. Of the 9 that won against you… were any of them like me?” IN A SHAKY VOICE, BUT WITH THE WAY THE LINE IS SAID, YOU CAN TELL HE’S SMILING AND LO AND BEHOLD WE HAVE ANOTHER UNHINGED JAXON EXPRESSION!!! I kind of wish we had another unhinged laugh accompanying this, but I think the face was already too much 😭 JAXON WHY ARE YOU SMILING LIKE THAT I DROPPED MY PHONE WATCHING THIS EPISODE SEEING THIS

anyways Jaxon did win in the end with an X-treme Finish with ONE hell of a hit that freaked me out, I wish we had a more drawn out battle but I guess Jaxon was so hyped about battling her he forgot to tone it down (I do think he tries to battle people at the level he thinks they’d perform at sometimes so it’s fun for him. He still confuses me quite a bit…)

Special shout-out to Multi who hugged Robin on screen they’re adorable, I LOVE WHEN TEAM PERSONA CELEBRATES CUZ THEY ALWAYS HUG AND STUFF but seeing this made me smile wide. (In the volumes of the manga I’ve read so far, Multi isn’t as affectionate to Robin as she is with Jaxon instead. Studio took some creative freedom and I’m glad their dynamic is like this in the anime)

PACKUN WAS SO SALTY AT THEIR DEFEAT BUT QUINN GAVE HIM A TALKING TO AND I JUST CAN’T UNDERSTAND HOW HIS BRAIN WORKS, HE HATES THE MERE SIGHT OF ROBIN SMILING 😭 YOU CRUSHED HIM WASN’T THAT ENOUGH??? YOU MOCKED HIM AND INSULTED HIM AND NOW YOU’RE MAD SEEING HIM CELEBRATE WINNING WITH HIS TEAM? Packun is just. Man.

But before that, Quinn talked about how each of the Bladers she lost to were the same as Jaxon, “enjoying Blading openly and earnestly, giving everything they had. Though there was one exception.” And I am positive that this silhouette is Chrome there is no way it isn’t him. But what I’m REALLY picking at is how Quinn is talking about how the Bladers were the same as Jaxon. Except Chrome. Each Blader enjoyed Blading openly and earnestly. Except Chrome. I think that Chrome and the “X” in his heart— I think this is implying that Chrome wants to be like Jaxon. He wants to be the same as him. But someone like Quinn points out that Chrome won’t be and isn’t the same as Jaxon. He won’t be able to truly be like the “X” he’s chasing to be. I’m still confused about Chrome’s motives, but I’m thinking he wants Jaxon to come back and stay in Pendragon. Well now that I look at it, Sigrid was told by Chrome to leave Jaxon alone so I’m not so sure about that— he does seem focused on getting strong though, that’s for sure.

We saw Pendragon getting interviewed and I started laughing nervously because:

Chrome seems to have no interest in Team Persona being the next possible team to battle him and Sigrid. In the earlier episodes he was smiling and saying he was going to battle Jaxon for certain, but now he seems disinterested. I don’t think it’s a facade either, we saw him slipping with that during his match with the bot on live TV

Sigrid looks so annoyed by this. I DON’T KNOW WHY SHE IS BUT IT MADE ME LAUGH BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST WANTS TO GO BACK TO HER ROOM AND RELAX BUT ALL THE REPORTERS ARE BLOCKING HER WAY OUT

anddddd

yes Blader Y is getting his own post I have much to say about him.

[austin-friars]

i don't quite know how to explain it, but i do like when you have religious figures in period dramas or whatever (or historical), but their religious devotion comes off as so queer. like i don't really know how to describe it. it's a type of longing for something that you cannot have or see, but you devote your life to it. and then, if we're talking about catholics during the reformation and that love for their religion is a 'sin' then yes, yes...

In my head, there are three different categorizations of Link from LoZ:

The General Link. This is the vaguest concept of Link. He’s a guy, usually dressed in green, who wields a sword and a bunch of funky tools and gadgets to beat up the bad guys and save Hyrule. Generally goofy in some flavor or another. Yells, otherwise doesn’t talk much, and typically has some beef with pottery. Each one of the Specific Links carries the General Link within them. Cool.

The Specific Links. These are the ones from the different games. Each Link, while a reincarnation of the same General Link, is still an individual person. Twilight Princess’ Link is not Wind Waker’s Link is not Zelda II: The Adventure of’s Link. They all have different personalities and people they know and goals they pursue and things they do. These guys are awesome.

The Powerscaling Link. This is a horrible Frankenstein’s Monster of Links whose strongest things have all been stitched together in order to prove he can beat Bungo Shlumpo or whoever the hell in a fight. He has every ability from every game regardless of how long there was between them or the unique circumstances that made it possible for him to get them in said games. Every Link’s greatest feats taken from their original context and stitched together to form a Link that never truly existed and never will, and who is well beyond the scale that the humble Link was ever meant to tread. Carries the spirit of neither the Specific Links nor even the General Link. All has been lost for the sake of power. I don’t like this one.

Launching a government agency to track autistics and using private medical records to do so is truly terrifying.
