If I see any more homophobic nonsense in the Star Wars fandom then I'm drawing Tech on a romantic date with Garrus Vakarian.

so the guy who hates china and TikTok and originally signed the TT ban is now working with TT to "bring it back"
weird it's almost like the massive international mutual outreach and respect over on XHS is a bigger threat than a foreign company doing to our data what our own companies do to the whole entire world

#theyre actually the same height but cliffjumper's pedes are made for climbing leaping causing pain to others#so he has spikes that sheath and unsheath from the soles and he keeps them out pretty much all the time which gives him height#fuzzy fat bumblebee and ANT#cliffjumper#i want cliffjumper sounds just like Miss SecondOpinionson but monotone & says everything like it's a fact#he keeps a permanent judgemental and suspicious expression and will tell you all of his surface level judgement of u#which js A Lot as he is Very observant and skeptical of Everything#mirage loves him bcs he doesnt play nice. he tells u how he sees it when he sees it#meanwhile bee is mewing from the amount of hatred secretly boiling inside him & is constantly changing himself for others#when they have time to reunite as old best friends .. the girlies have fun which means cliff is smiling for once & bee is not#everybody feels bad for bee when they see this bcs they think cliff is boring him or something & ruining his good mood#but actually bee is having the time of his life venting finally abt all his 'mean thoughts' which are just His thoughts but he cant say that#and cliff loves violence & is uncomfortable with social etiquette upkeep so of course hes indulging#i need the world to stop pitting my girlbosses against each other like just get creative with their designs lol#characters can have depth without merging personalities together into 1 and killing off the other half to cover up ur stealing lol#bee def has anger issues too but it's an after effect from his overthinking backfiring#while cliff has anger issues that flares b4 actions due to not wanting to think in favor of pure Doing#i think they are lovely foils which should be explored and can be done rlly interestingly if they were friends#who keep getting pit against each other by life but refuse to lose that friendship .. it's just a little cracked now.. & keeps cracking#bumblebee#transformers#maccadam

ā€œAre you okay?ā€
He shouldn’t have stopped them. He knows he shouldn’t have. If anything, Yuji should have cheered them on, but-
Sukuna is only a child.
The boy cowers, teeth bared in a hiss and four eyes moon wide and glassy where they peek out of a crevice between two large slabs of stone. Four arms are slung tightly around his body in a heartbreaking attempt at self soothing, and sharp nails are digging crescents into the thin skin stretched over protruding ribs.
The kid is terrified. And hurt. And starving.
Yuji lowers himself into a crouch, hands splayed on his knees to assure he’s holding neither chains nor weapons, and attempts a smile.
ā€œThey’re gone now, I promise. You can come out.ā€
ā€œGo away!ā€ Sukuna—the child—rasps, ā€œOr- I’ll eat you!ā€œ
— sneak peek of ā€œEverything Eats And Is Eatenā€

In December 1964, Dusty Springfield toured to South Africa. She was horrified by apartheid, so her contract specified that she would only play to non-segregated audiences (the same tactic the Beatles had used in the American South earlier that year). It didn’t go well: South African officials came to her hotel pressuring her to sign a declaration that she would only play to segregated audiences, making veiled threats that it would be dangerous for her to go outside.
After several performances, she was deported. The South African government announced: ā€œMiss Springfield was on two occasions warned, through her manager, to observe our South African way of life in regard to entertainment, and was informed that if she failed to do so she would have to leave the country. She chose to defy the Government and was accordingly allowed to remain in the country for a limited time only.ā€
The Beatles’ Ringo Starr was one of many to rush to her defence, saying ā€œGood for Dusty. I would have done the same thing. It’s stupid to have segregated audiences, especially as the music came from the Negroes in the first place.ā€
ā€œNegroā€ sounds dated now, but in 1964 it would be the most respectful term to use (it was Martin Luther King’s preferred wording). Beatle biographers tend to leave Ringo out of political discussion, so it’s interesting to see him weighing in - particularly the way he takes the opportunity to emphasise who created rock’n’roll.

If the Doctor isn't a timelord then that means they potentially have different reactions to substances than they previously thought, ergo I just know that Thirteen, in all of her feral glory, runs around testing their reactions to things upon learning about their Timeless Child origins without her companions finding out

Alright but what if Guillermo's secret is revealed during the manor episode in a Clue-like mystery game style? And then he gets yoinked into a secret bookcase entrance or something and that's how he goes missing.

i do think cyberwizard drugs is a funny trait for victor. ostensibly this is for his magic and to maintain his connection to his cybernetics but its kind of like a guy who gets a medical card for back pain and then makes weed his primary personality trait.

Do either Audrey or Talia get Karolina's migraines?
i could see Talia getting them since it would just be another reason for her to hate Karolina

I think the reason Kirby is so dull is smth o do with the friend heart. It was broken by Ester. An why have no idea on how to fix it. - Lollipop anon
Tumblr media
Kirby: "...I know why, poyo. But...can't say it."
Prince Fluff: "What do you mean you can't say it? Look, if you know why he broke it and turned you into...this...you need to tell us."
Kirby paused for a moment before taking a deep breath.
Kirby: "...Fine. Breaking the Friend Heart, poyo...turned me negative. I'm giving off negative energy...they're draining the energy...into the Jamba Heart, poyo. To make it...stronger. And...it makes me...feel numb. I...don't care, poyo. And they...plan to use that...against you."
Prince Fluff: "And you're just gonna let them?!"
Hearing that shocked Prince Fluff, causing him to raise his voice. Kirby paused again, blinking but otherwise not showing any signs of emotion before continuing.
Kirby: "...I heard Ester in my head, poyo. He said...'no use in trying to stop us'. A stronger Jamba Heart...means a stronger Void Termina, poyo. And...I don't have all the help that I did to beat him the first time, poyo. So...no matter what...we're not strong enough."
Prince Fluff: "...Kirby..."
He looked at Kirby with a genuinely concerned expression. The puffball was usually so cheery and kept an optimistic outlook on things, but this? This felt completely unnatural, seeing his friend in such a state.

Ok
But anyway while the Green Knight costume was a spectacular bit of practical effects work can we talk how the hard the makeup department tried to make Dev Patel look awful and dirty and disheveled and yet succeeded only in making him looking ever hotter?
I feel like how dumb Gawain ends up looking in screen adaptations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight depends entirely on how hard the costume designer goes on the titular Knight. Like, there's a definite point beyond which you've gotta be like, dude, look at him – of course he's gonna get back up.

Romanticizing your pain can be a double edged sword if you aren't careful and under the right circumstances you could be led to intectualizing your pain and suffering to the point you actually do not take any action at all.
