one of the things i find really interesting about this Ned Fulmer/Try Guys drama is the fact that the Try Guys as a business works by creating parasocial relationships with the audience, primarily by letting the audience into various aspects of their personal lives (i.e., Eugene coming out, Ned & Ariel’s kids, Keith’s marriage, Zach’s battle with an autoimmune condition). And now, they (Ned and Ariel specifically) are asking for the impossible, which is for people to not be invested in their private issues.
just got me thinking, you can’t be a public figure and have a private life, if your identity as a public figure is publicizing your private life.

Loved the ending of fhjy but I definitely feel like there were some loose ends and plot points that I do want closure for. Does Fig still owe her last record label money for not putting out her sophomore album in time? Is Gorgugs house/soil still infected? What was the relevance to his tree being a warden? The timeline inconsistencies between the 7 and this season with Zelda? I’m sure there’s more O: I need like a 4 hour long adventuring party immediately.

i'm sorry but this is sending me into the goddamn stratosphere, if you send people to physically attack my mom, torture my sister, cut my six year old son's head off, threaten to murder my toddler, and then also threaten to rape my six year old daughter, i would be very happy and jovial in declaring war on your psycho ass for pulling that shit on people who literally didn't do a thing to you.
consequently, if i sent people to physically attack someone who never did me any harm, torture my sister who never did me any harm, cut my six year old nephew who never did me any harm's head off, threaten to murder my toddler nephew who never did me any harm, and also threaten to rape my six year old niece who never did me any harm, i would be very full of regret and sorrow for what i've done, because those are bad things that i did.

If someone annoys me, that's a problem for me to solve by removing myself from their presence. Every time the word annoying is spoken, a little more human vitality is removed from the world.
If you care what people think of you, you are their prisoner. If you make someone feel shame, you are their warden.

Do I think Susie has conveyed any kind of knowledge to Toto? No, at least not knowingly. Not just because it would fall back on her personally, but also on women in motorsport in general and the academy. There’s too much hinging on this.
Do I think Toto might have ways to obtain knowledge he shouldn’t be privy to? Absolutely I do. But that’s not a Toto or even a Mercedes thing, it’s a big player thing. Zak Brown and Christian Horner just cry wolf so that they’re out of the spotlight

Every week someone makes a post about how annoying it is that Dick Grayson fans don't acknowledge his flaws, and every week someone replies with an explanation that the flaws OP listed are entirely fanon and inconsistent with canon as it actually happened and at this point I have to assume that none of those explanations are ever going to stick because clearly some people just want the fanon to be true.
Anyway, I'm just putting this here for me to edit and add relevant-to-the-topic links later so I'll have them nicely at hand to read and sooth my frustrations when it gets real bad out there. (Echo chambers are good when we use them to drown out character mischaracterizing fanon.)

I'm a long time follower and I just really love your aus, I was curious how Ww would get jiggy with such a strange creature. I'll respect your wishes as not drawing any nsfw stuff of your aus. 🫡

vash can barely feel anything through it unless its actual serious damage 😭 like getting hit with an high explosive round

is the merger something that’ll just naturally happen or is tengen still needed to officially start it? it would be very nice if tengen was freed from cursed spirit manipulation, but that’s not something that’s been proven or disproven with that technique yet. and would Tengen not have any sense of autonomy in that case?? this is only in the case that that’s who kenjaku is referring to about their “will,” but this could end up being something or someone else entirely
