yes, yes i know edgeworth’s big wet eyes and loser boy personality have captivated us all, but listen. listen.

phoenix wright

phoenix “genuinely unable to reconcile the girl on the stand with the girl he dated for eight months, a cognitive dissonance so profound it’s ultimately explained by them being literally two different people, but which he first sits with for five years and does not talk about at any point to anyone” wright

phoenix “don’t mention that name to me. i don’t want to talk about it. i don’t want to think about it. i am just going to keep myself in this state of perpetual crisis mode focus on other people’s problems until eventually i die and get to hang out with mia on the astral plane and never have to deal with any of these emotions ever again” wright

phoenix “overnight loses his career and reputation and sense of identity while gaining an adopted, probably pretty traumatized eight-year-old daughter, and rather than leaning on his friends for help, or getting therapy, or taking any time to process any of this, he *checks notes* spends seven years dedicating all his free time and energy to investigating the weird fucking circumstances around it and maintains a friendship with the guy he suspects was behind it all” wright

phoenix "runs across a burning bridge and falls through it, half a day after the game establishes that he is terrified of heights, because his friend is on the other side of that bridge" wright

phoenix “i sure felt surprised. maybe i had my poker face on” wright

phoenix “looking back on it that was actually a pretty dark period in my life” wright

phoenix “don’t ask me how i got started. i don’t remember” wright

phoenix “only you stood still, your eyes calmly watching” wright

phoenix “sometimes, life just sucks” wright

just

crunchiest man in the world

Been inundated with posts about the character descriptions in the 7seas mxtx releases, and I just wanna say that I find it the highest level of disrespect how a publisher treated someone’s serious writing that they bought the publishing rights for as a little jokey joke that’s lead to so many people’s misconceptions about said book. Tell me: why do these character sheets include publisher/translator opinions on the characters? Why do these character sheets directly go against what the actual text has to say about these characters? Why do these novels need character sheets?

something incredibly distasteful about the literal dozens of videos that have come out in the last 72 hours about james somerton

Avengers genderbend where every member backstory or appearance is SO DRASTICALLY different due to the gender switch. except Loki who is exactly the same

[variousqueerthings]

there’s so many ways that queerness exists in texts, unintentionally and intentionally, coded and uncoded and partially coded and baited and confused and limited and expansive, and then there’s whatever is happening with Hawkeye Pierce, M.D. of the 4077th MASH unit

"likes don't do anything" they do

"there's no algorithm" there is

"well nobody uses the for you tab" I do

"reblog all art and fics you see" there's no thought put into that. if this does work on people, then it's just pity engagement borne out of guilt rather than genuine interest, which is arguably worse than having none, because it's totally hollow.

You know that post that's like "I know I have curated my dash well when someone mentions how we need to talk about this fandom's huge problem with a horrible take that I have never encountered"

Maybe if your primary or even sole experience with some random fandom discourse is seeing your dash pass around posts about how it's the absolute worst and there's so many horrible people spreading this stuff, it might be worth some healthy skepticism of how big this problem actually is. Or if it exists. Like it's very easy to have never encountered a particular take if there's one guy that made a post that half sounded like it last week and the whole fandom-wide problem is just vagues of vagues that have built that dude a whole strawman army. Or if some minor inoffensive discourse is being rebranded into something more ragebait compatible.

I mean vagues about individual posts can also misrepresent but I feel like generally people are a bit better at going "I saw a post yesterday..." = one guy said this thing. The broad ones about "This fandom doesn't want to talk about its X problem" or the "X-apologists back at it again" are like. Written to invite you into discourse wars that you probably shouldn't be in if you don't even know for sure that anyone has ever said what you are about to go deride real people for believing. And it's always some group of real people that wind up under the umbrella term.

Not that discourse wars in general are ever good, but ones where you just come out the gate making shit up to be mad at the horrible X-shippers or whatever are effectively just complicated harassment campaigns.

I hope you get over whatever happened to you and you heal and grow tf up. You are full of contradictions and hate. And said hate is only bringing in more hate and HARM to people of queer spaces. Try actually researching who created the safe spaces we have as a community before you try and outlier them.

 Sincerely, an aroace trans man

I don't need a straight woman to tell me how to behave in my own community in which she doesn't belong, thank you <3

[parachutingkitten]

Can I just pause for a moment to comment on the insanity of "Oh, but ninjago is a fictional location, so like, it doesn't matter if the representation is accurate, cuz it's not real!"

[esleep]

it makes me sad how often textile arts are ignored as actual art forms, and are relegated to the disregarded realm of 'old lady hobbies'. there is so much skill involved, such a broad diversity of forms, but so many people straight up do not think of things like crochet or quilting as art.

Dean and Cas make out while watching a quiz show and Cas keeps interrupting to answer the questions until Dean tells him to knock it off. Then Dean thinks he's got Cas into an insensible mess from making out bc he keeps breathing out words instead of vocalising them, but when Dean listens closely he realises Cas is still answering the tv questions and gets in a huff.

Shut the fuck up that's not The Duck Cake from Bluey, that's The Duck Cake From The Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book.

You will never be her. Have some fucking respect

[tasmanianstripes]

My biggest pet peevee that literally does not matter whatsoever is people who unironically post "He would not fucking say that" posts and complain about bad or inaccurate characterisation

Who give a shit

[bugmistake]
