Sorry if you're already over 50, I ran out of room (you're welcome to leave your thoughts in the tags or replies!)

If you're younger than 10, get the fuck off Tumblr. People are saying swears on here!

[EDIT: It's OK to vent a bit about negative feelings in the comments/tags, but if you're gonna talk about killing yourself, do me a favour and fucking don't]

Genuinely it is so funny that Laura and Marisha meant to have a completely platonic relationship and then they both tripped and faceplanted directly into romantic feelings. Roughly around the same time too. Well done ladies. Best failure I've ever seen.

my personal atsv hobie brown hc is that this boy can build a watch that enables the wearer to travel to any dimension they want to, made entirely out of cobbled up parts he "finds"

but anytime anyone brings up AI or algorithms or social media he pretends to be 100 years old

hobie: what's a bloody "snapchat"? fuckin 'ell those effects are nightmarish, mate

miles, exasperated: hobie, you BUILD TECH that astrophysicists in my dimension can't even replicate. how are filters on a phone trippin you up?

hobie: dunno, everyone's got their strengths n weaknesses, i 'spose... 🙄😒

You know what? Fuck it.

I tried to be silent and move on, I tried to ignore all of you messed up antisemitic fucks but I can’t. I just fucking can’t.

You think you’re helping people by hating on Jews, sorry I mean Zionists. You think being horrible is helping anyone?

Taking out your anger on Jews for building a home in their homeland after 2000 years of persecution is so wrong then there’s something wrong with you.

But I don’t think that’s what most of you are mad at, I think you want to be heroes. I think you want to punch nazis so badly that you’re making up this villain to hate instead of hating the actual nazi.

You see this underdog and an opportunity to defend them against this big bad monstrous country that’s just like yours or your oppressors (depends on where you come from) so you either relate to the underdog or you see this as a way to escape your guilt but that’s not the actual truth.

It’s not occupation when you’re indigenous and fighting back when you’re attacked brutally isn’t genocide.

Looking at numbers and saying they’re losing so they’re the good guy isn’t right.

Saying that antisemitism isn’t antizionism isn’t true, antizionism is just all the stereotypes against Jews and switching the word.

What’s awful is that you’re erasing history 2076 years worth of. Whether it’s in the making or it’s happened everyone’s acting as if antisemitism isn’t real.

That it started and ended with the holocaust but that’s just untrue and it angers me how every other minority matters but Jews.

We fucking matter and we don’t stop to matter if you disagree with us.

I know it’s hard to hear but try and let it sink in. You are not a hero for being awful to a certain group of people to “defend” another.

And yes that includes Zionists.

Not feeling well so I’m making characters not feel well either

Spearmaster designed to be the ideal messenger, never really dealt with the average illnesses other creatures did. Until it constantly hung around the group and finally caught its first flu. Body does NOT know how to deal

how many layers do you normally draw on? i feel like you only use one or two layers but the design that goes into your pieces are brain melting(ly good)

mmmm depends on the piece honestly.. but what i do currently is make a base layer with some vague idea of the shapes and tones id like to use, then i start adding detail on layers on top and start combining them all in one once im pleased with the general picture. rinse and repeat till i feel like it.

normally i choose to put the elements that are too "blunt" on layers on top so theyre easier to move around/discard if i feel like they dont add to the overall compositon

like here. i dont mind using effects earlier in process when its more laid back pieces, too. so yeas😗

This may sound deranged but I think its good for people to disassemble an animal at least once or twice in their life that isn't like soaked in formaldehyde in a high school lab. Like I've had to butcher deer and rabbits and squirrels and chickens and it really gives you a better sense of anatomy and how organs and muscles and bones all fit together and also gives you a better respect for the source of your meat. The not being soaked in formaldehyde part is important too cus it's way different dissecting a sterilized (cold, wet, bloodless) animal from a bag vs butchering an actual relatively fresh animal.

Julian's line of "I needed another womb for the baby, and the only two other people on board were Major Kira and me." is already very. That Man Is Trans. and listen yes you can interpret it as him saying Kira was the only choice, but then it's literally followed up by Sisko saying "I think you made the right choice, Doctor." which I know is supposed to be a joke but the implication IS there that there WAS a choice and basically Julian is trans

Shadow and Rouge can never quite understand to how it feels to be mechanical in both body and mind, and vice versa; Omega can never fully comprehend organic thought processes or physicality.

(500 words of ruminations)

Sure, Omega has a pretty good grasp on the organic brain:

How they're inferior because they can't process huge amounts of data like he can, nor do they have his perfect memory or sense of direction. On top of it all, they constantly make bad decisions based on a bunch of hormones: Biological brains function on thousands of years old evolutionary directives, and they react illogically, such as freezing or otherwise disabling the body at the face of danger, simply because some gland is producing excessive amounts of molecules. "Pain" is an archaic warning the brain gives to inform the body of sustained damage, but it can also completely immobilize the individual. - Organic functions seem to all be self-sabotaging at their core, and it's one of the reasons Omega deems most organics inferior to him.

This is all irrelevant because when Shadow got his first crippling PTSD episode, and began to hyperventilate on his bedroom’s floor at 04:18:25 after awakening from a nightmare, Omega felt powerless ineffectual way out of his element. - Shadow did not show any response to audial cues, and physical contact only made the situation worse. Omega learned this when he went to place Shadow back on the bed after he'd ignored Omega calling out his name for 24.8 seconds: Shadow’s breath hitched and he started to immediately trash in Omega’s hold, eyes frantic. His reaction didn’t cease even when Omega dropped him onto the bed, and instead tried to deliriously induce Chaos Control, eyes locked on Omega without any recognition. Omega was in the middle of calculating the next best manoeuvre when Rouge barged into the room. The commotion had alerted her from her sleep, and Omega could only watch as she kneeled down to Shadow and started doing breathing exercises with him, Shadow's irregular breathing turning into sobs shortly after.

…Or when Rouge sustained serious enough injury on a mission to the point where she couldn't mask her pain, and Omega had to pick her up despite her flinching away with a scream at the initial contact – a noise Omega had not registered form her previously. He tried to adjust his grasp to insignificant success, every bit of movement prompting a noise or a muscle twitch from her, as he carried Rouge through her teeth-gritted wails. She cursed and screamed at Omega until her voice became sore, leaving her with only tears running down her face. – “Hon~ you could never catch me crying. Why, it'd ruin my makeup!” – Her alcohol-based cosmetics were completely intact even when she was being strapped to a stretcher, about to be transported via a G.U.N. medical air carriage. Shadow had been hovering over her for the past 21 minutes - he'd been glued to her ever since teleporting to the rendezvous - and despite being in the middle of arguing with the paramedics, Omega could see him gently holding Rouge’s hand, with her squeezing back.

In the super mario rpg remake did they seriously change luigi's star wish? The tropes page says it was changed to something "bitter" wth

They did change Luigi's star wish, but I don't think "bitter" is the right adjective. Here's the original:

Here's the remake:

Maybe you can see it as "bitter" if you look at it the right way? Like... maybe Luigi is bitter about being left out of the adventure? But it struck me more as "yearning" than bitter.

In the original wish (if read at surface level) Luigi just wants to be as skilled as his brother at their day job, while in the remake he expresses a direct desire to help Mario out.

But the remake has another change! Specifically when Mario is pretending to be a statue to sneak into Nimbus Castle:

The original line did not reference Luigi at all, and just poked fun at Mario's appearance and intelligence.

If I had to venture a guess... maybe Nintendo is trying to lean toward characterizing Mario and Luigi as a tight-knit team like in the RPG series or the movie, and wanted to add some dialogue to imply they still had that bond despite Mario being off on this brotherless adventure.

Wish they had properly explained what Luigi was doing during the entire fiasco though. Maybe he was busy organizing that end credits parade?

why is it that i love socializing on my own terms and go out of my way to talk to strangers (when my paranoia isn't seriously acting up at least) and get excited when my friends message me or ask to arrange to hang out and love dressing in weird outfits that i personally think look nice even if everyone else finds them weird and judges me but the second i get invited to a party my brain goes full carrie white about it

leaked emails from last year's hugo awards organizers show they actively tried to single out authors and their submissions from being considered for the awards because of Chinese censorship laws. As in, it wasn't the censors who did it, they just were so scared of running into the law that they essentially did the censor's work for them in anticipation and talked among themselves which candidates shouldn't be nominated. One notable email singled out author Neseem Jamnia for being "queer, nonbinary, trans" and frequently writing about gender and being nonbinary as being potentially problematic for censorship.

worldcon organizers volunteering information to each other about which of the authors they know are queer so they can disqualify them. stay classy hugos.
