[arbitrarycategories]

Arbi, before I went vegetarian (don’t worry this isn’t one of those posts ok i’m not here to shove my ideology down your throat ok i swear im just a regular dude who fucks with leaves a lil more than regular and damn lets be real ok cheese is fucking phenomenal, but Arbi listen to my point and stop gettin me on tangents here i swear the fucking nerve on some of you people god damn.) before I went vegetarian I loved arbys i fucking loved having a big ol wavy beef and cheddar with the onion bun and just absolutely smothering that bad boy in a gallon of arbys sauce and I know what you’re thinking youre thinking, dude, shoefuck, not original ok ive heard it its really not funny and I agree Arbi i do i really do I assure you i have not arrived upon the threshold to your life for the soul purpose of bringing you misery through poorly conceived attempts at humor. No, instead the reason I find myself before you today is a multi threaded tale of ups and downs the complexity of which rivals the nature of the universe itself. My primary goal was to simply let you know that you have reminded me of a happy time in my life, a time when things were different, not better, simply different, as both of us know change can be at times both things at once or even neither should it so choose. Secondarily, despite the cosmic circumstances of our fateful encounter, I do have a single, and most virtuous request, a request the likes of which has the potential to absolutely rip and tear the fuck out of the validity of capitalism as we know it.

listen Arbi. I need your help. Together were going to dismantle the illusion of an iron grip that the elites have held over our very own people for far too long. They have lied and stole with impunity for their last time on this planet, we will delegitimize their rule, destabilize their support systems and most importantly make a mockery of the ground they stand on and the air they continue to cycle through their leeching lungs. This one has been in the works for ages now Arbi. It may seem like a small initial first step, but so too is the first domino in a game of yahtzee. Arbi I’m sorry, but i need you to say bazinga. Its the only way. Ive connected all the red strings and it all ties back to a singular source Arbi. By simply harvesting bazingas and infusing them with unbridled absurdity we can create a social wave off the back of the big bang theory, which will send out of touch media execs into a scramble as they try to figure out what they did, when the answer is nothing, bug bang did nothing Arbi, it was us. It was the people. And together, in a moment of grand glory we will all realize the power that we hold together. But i cant do it alone arbi. None of us can do it alone. Its up to us. Each and everyone of us arbi. Do it for doki doki literature club. Do it for ecco the dolphin. Perhaps most importantly: do it for knuckles the echnida.

I don’t know anything about those last three things BUT I recognize you from fighting with my friend Yellow, so, just for having the balls to pick a fight with them, here you go:

(re: sssniperwolf and jacksfilms) It's laughable that she escalated it that hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure stalking him like that is illegal and it's terrifying regardless, but Jack said in a stream (can't remember which one) that he wasn't about bringing up past controversies of hers or cancelling. And now she shows up outside his house (wtf!!!). Like he was willing to only call her out for stealing and freebooting but she's gone and stalked him and Jack doesn't seem like the type of guy to take that shit. Actual WTF moment from her part. wild

omg long post below bc apparently I have opinions: YES!! THAT'S WHAT'S SO INCREDIBLE ABOUT THIS... Jack has been genuinely diligent about keeping things on-topic in his streams, and hasn't brought up any of her other Stuff, or anything Personal. Despite the fact that she kickstarted the whole thing by making it INCREDIBLY personal and attacking his physical appearance... His goal has been to call out and bring attention to content theft, and he's stuck with it. Dude's also cared about this for years, and she's not the first content thief he's criticized. He just hates the way that freebooting has become so accepted-- to the point where youtube praised her for "coming up with such creative video ideas"? Hey! Ew! Dude wasn't trying to get her cancelled though, there was no smear campaign of her character. He's been rallying to get her to CREDIT the creators that she relies on for all of her content. It would set a precedent for all other "react" channels on the platform for one of the biggest channels on youtube to actually give credit where credit is due. Or, god forbid, get permission first? It's not hard. It's already done the job of making some other people who do "react content" self-analyze whether or not their content is transformative, and to maybe care about crediting the creators they rely on for their genre to work. There is a way to make this kind of video that isn't so slimy. And making fun of her lackluster-at-best reactions is so far from even being a big deal. Bc she literally does just sit there and say nothing. Plus, his goal has a clear End built into it: if she started shouting out the creators she takes content from, and put links directly to their pages in her video descriptions, the job would be done! That's what he's asking her to do. Real bare minimum stuff. It legit would have been easy to steer away from the content theft and to also talk about her history of lying to her audience! her ghosting a dying kid with cancer who was a big fan of hers! the fact that she's been arrested for armed robbery! her history of transphobia! He would also get more clicks that way, which is what she claims is his sole goal- to get more clicks. I'll bring it up though! She's been a terrible person the whole time, and has kept a steady course of manipulating her audience of young children and/or, let's be completely honest, simps- into thinking that she's a Wholesome creator. (And now, into thinking she's an innocent victim.) All of the actual effort put in by her has gone toward optics, not the content she puts out. A carefully constructed online persona, for one, but also literal appearances. Jack totally can't say this, bc she already went off the handle and said the only reason he doesn't like her is bc he Hates To See A Woman Be Successful. But I can! That was a cheap shot for her to use that argument when, for once, it's not applicable! Much the opposite, even! Dudes online wouldn't go to bat for her if she didn't look the way she does. And it weakens any case she'd have against him by making baseless claims like that. She banks hugely on being an attractive woman to get her clicks/following. A massive amount of effort is put into her appearance. The makeup, the lip fillers, putting her hair in little pigtails, the chokers and tube tops, the big non-prescription Nerd Glasses, the thumbnails where she has her mouth open in That Expression?

I don't even have to say anything. But making a weird facial expression and putting your hair in pigtails aren't moral failings. Showing up at someone's real life home (whose address you shouldn't even have access to), filming the front of their house at night, doxxing them to your audience of millions of people? Because you were mad at them online? That is fully scary! Yeah girl I'm pretty sure that Jack can press charges! There is absolutely no way to take the moral highground now that she's literally stalked him, and doxxed his home. She tried to goad him and Erin (Jack's wife) out of the house, also, which creeps me out even more-- because what was she planning to do? The fact that she's been arrested for violent crime before does pop into my mind! lmao! Jack was streaming a game at the time that she was outside his home, and these clips of him, his friends, and Erin reacting in real time to what is genuinely a scary situation have been taken down in case he needs to use them in legal action. Shit is legitimately serious!

Thinking about the Don Suave scene and what it means in terms of LGBTQ+ representation because my brain does nothing if not torment me with random topics to ramble about on the regular.

Anyway, I just wanted to ramble about why I like the scene but to get it out of the way - the scene can very easily be interpreted in so many different ways, and all of them are valid. I personally see it as Leo having at least some attraction to a man. And the following is an explanation of my own interpretation and thoughts on it and what it means especially for Leo’s portrayal in the grand scheme of things.

Long-winded interpretation under the cut!

Now, to start with, it’s important to me that in the scene Leo looks at Don Suave in the very beginning and then for the entirety of the rest of the time the man is on screen, Leo’s eyes are closed. Yet, in the end, he is still visibly enamored with Don Suave, happily cuddling up to him as he’s being carried away.

You can very easily interpret this as Leo being spellbound and that’s honestly super valid and I believe he likely was at least somewhat in the beginning, but considering how fast he looked away and how he never looked again, I personally think it makes more sense to read it as Leo just finding the man attractive, at least somewhat. (For the record, I personally headcanon Rise Leo as bisexual with a heavy preference for men, but I want to be blunt when I say that any interpretation is valid. Literally any. Ace, pan, gay, bi, none of the above or a mixture of something new literally all of it is more than okay and fair. Hell you could even interpret this entire scene as more romantic attraction than physical and it would still work. Anything goes!! Don’t bother people, guys, really.)

The main reason I take this scene to be at the very least LGBTQ+ adjacent isn’t just because of how it’s portrayed, but because of who Leonardo is. Not in terms of Rise of the TMNT, but in terms of the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles���️ franchise.

Leo’s a character who, while changing with each iteration, has still at his core been around for decades upon decades as “the blue one”. One fourth of the team. He’s the one most are going to look at as the Leader, and oftentimes he is the one closest to having the title of Main Character. Not to say the others aren’t just as important, but Leo’s presence in the A plots of basically all TMNT media is often something very main character-esque.

And that’s very, very important to note. Here we have a Main Character of a prolific and decades long-running franchise distributed by a children’s television network. You can play around with his and his brothers’ characters all you like, but there is always going to be challenges to dodge around, especially since this was still in 2018-2019.

For example, you can play around with their designs so long as they’re color coded turtles, but their sexualities? Now that’s tricky.

“But what about Hypno and Warren?” Not main characters and also they’re Rise originals. They have a lot more room to play around with than a character like Leo does. But even talking about main characters in the franchise, you could arguably have an easier time playing around with Donnie or Mikey’s sexualities than Leo or even Raph, as (unfortunately) the former two tend to get more B plots, so they’d likely have had a little more leeway (still not a lot though.)

So, where does this leave us?

It leaves us in a place where outright stating and/or showing undeniable proof of Leo’s attraction to men is very, very difficult. So, workarounds!

Workarounds like the entire Don Suave situation.

To be honest, as left up to interpretation and lowkey and deniable as it is, this whole scene means a lot to me because of who Leo is as a character. It’s just nice when we get so see even the bare bones of representation with characters that have been such a large part of pop culture for decades, y’know? Even if more would be so much nicer, this is better than I thought we’d ever get for these boys.

And, again, literally nothing I’ve said is the only way to interpret it, I’m more than happy when people interpret media on their own honestly, it’s just something I’ve been thinking of lately and I was wondering if others felt the same way.

Whatever you think when you interpret this scene or Rise Leo as a whole, I just thought this would be interesting to think about, even if it was ramble-y, haha.

Okay, I'd always noticed the way Jaskier immediately presses his body into Radovid after their lips make contact, and how Radovid seems to be caught off guard and slightly jolts in response...

But, because of how dark that scene is lit, I hadn't paid proper attention to their physical environment, and the way Radovid somehow "stands his ground" against the sudden pressure (i.e. there's a surprisingly large space between him and that wall behind him that very much stays there).

I'd always assumed Radovid was leaning against a wall, and had always found that sort of "upward pelvic push" Jaskier gives him whilst kissing rather bold (and sexy).

But that "pelvic push" actually has the effect of helping Jaskier "lift Radovid up" - bringing him out of that slightly slouched and defeated posture - to make him stand a bit taller so he can properly meet him in that kiss!

Jaskier is sort of simultaneously pressing against Radovid with his hips, while also bringing his own shoulders and weight backwards, thus forcing Radovid to slightly move up and forward.

And that "slight jolt" in Radovid's shoulders is him immediately compensating by "catching Jaskier" in his arms and steadying them both.

Jaskier basically just gave Radovid the kissing equivalent of a "trust fall"!

Are you kidding me?!

Like: "Here! Stop worrying about your playing, stand up straight very gay and catch me, there's kissing to be done!"

And the second Radovid felt his balance shift he immediately caught Jaskier in his arms and kept them both from toppling over.

Jaskier is simultaneously taking charge of the situation... while putting Radovid in charge.

That boy really wants a partnership, doesn't he?

He's wordlessly going: "Here, I'll help lift you up, but then I need you to catch me and keep us steady. We've got this! "

Also explains why that movement is so synchronized...

From the first gif, it appears that, when Radovid caught Jaskier, he brought his hands up to his shoulder blades, or very close to them (at least, if you look at the way Jaskier's arm and sleeve move when he grabs him).

So, the moment Radovid relaxes his own shoulders while holding Jaskier in his arms, Jaskier's shoulders should automatically follow his movement, too.

I've paid so much attention to the way that Jaskier is touching Radovid's hair and face in that scene, that I'd totally missed that Radovid caught him and is holding him in his arms while they're just standing there together in an open space the whole time... What is this?!

added a bit more to the animation(animatic?) i posted previously

I was just gonna add this reblog style under that post, but tumblr wouldn’t allow me to do that …so here we are

now it's 7 frames instead of 4 😧, also fixed Cross’s arms a bit so they don’t look like they are elongating nearly as badly (I believe they still slightly look like that, but oh well, I tried)

Not postin the frames this time because no :)

Anyway, in short, I love them, have a nice day \(ü)

my guy, my king yaoi iii, my homie, my selfish piece of shit: you suck man. youre awful.

how fucking deep in your own damn self-loathing did you have to be to convince yourself that till never loved you?? are you kidding me???

he always let you be around him because he didnt love you? he put up with your weird and creepy antics because he didnt love you? he tried to die before you in round 6 because he didnt love you?? are you out of your mind or are you just that stupid? you and mizi were the only ones who made him feel like a person- you think he didnt care about that??

no, till always loved you, just not in the same way you loved him, and you couldnt fucking live with that. youd rather believe in a world where till didnt love you at all over him loving you, just not as much as you love him.

un fucking believable. i hope sua kicks your ass in heaven you dumb bastard im crying because of you

Uh-oh! You are like, SOOO awkward!!

You're so awkward that it is occasionally mildly uncomfortable for people!

You're so awkward that sometimes people are confused by you and then there are awkward silences!

You're so awkward ...... that ultimately no one is harmed!!

Oh damn!!! What a vile crime you have committed! What an unforgivable thing it is to make a fellow human briefly confused!

Why, if *I* were ever briefly confused and kind of uncomfortable as a result, I'd be devastated.... by the absolute net zero change in my happiness and health! - From which I might never recover!! Yes indeed! No punishment can ever be enough for you!!

So you better absolutely hate yourself for it.

Better be SO MEAN to yourself about every single missed social cue so you don't forget your horrible crime! Meaner than you'd ever dream of being to someone else for the same thing! This is YOUR responsibility!

You need to show the world that you KNOW you are bad by punishing yourself constantly! After all, think of all the people who BENEFIT from you punishing yourself! - No, really! Think about it! Think about who benefits from your pain.

Think of alllllll the definitely-good people that your definitely-necessary self-torment definitely helps! I mean, you can't just cut off their definitely-life-sustaining supply of your suffering, right?? Sure, everyone else has a breaking point, but you're probably the only person in human history who doesn't, right? Best not to question it probably. Sure, it's a symptom that billions of people with trauma have had, but who knows? You could be a one-in-seven-billion exception. Anything's possible!

Instead, better just accept that idea that bullies carry like guns in holsters - the idea that people who have trouble with social cues deserve to suffer. Better carry on the burden they placed on you until you drop. Aid the cause of the callous by enforcing shame and suffering upon yourself extra hard; try your best to do their work for them. They're very busy.

Better not recognize that you need patience and kindness to heal from your trauma. Better not find out that it was trauma rather than personal weakness filling your head with self-hating thoughts. Better not find out it wasn't your fault.

Better not find out that awkwardness is not inherently harmful or unkind, and, in fact, the people who act like it is *are the ones enacting harm and being cruel.*

Better not get righteously angry when you realize just how much unnecessary damage this has done to you. After all, if you get mad, you might realize you deserve better. You might even feel brave enough to DEMAND better! You might build boundaries that keep you safe! You might make other people think they deserve to feel safe too! And we obviously can't be having that, so...

Better not show yourself even a little kindness a little bit at a time.

Better not make a habit out of it after all that practice.

Better not get confident.

Especially if you can't first wipe out every trace of awkward. (And you probably never will. Because people who experience absolute social certainty at all times tend to be insufferable assholes that enforce the status quo. And you just don't have the stock portfolio for that.)

Better not be confident and awkward because then you might confuse and delight people

- you might accidentally end up making other people feel less shame for their social difficulties

- you might make isolated, traumatized, and shy people feel like they deserve to be included in social situations

- you might even make them feel they can be themselves around you

- you might start loving the effect you have on a room

- you might enjoy conversations more

- you might forgive yourself and bounce back from shame more easily and frequently

- you might come to enjoy some of those moments of harmless confusion you cause because NOBODY expects the Confident Awkward, and that can genuinely be an advantage in social situations

- you might stop apologizing so much.

- you might find that socializing is like a video game: it requires practice but also a safe space for it to be fun and positive.

Or if you can't become assertive and confident, better not remain awkward and shy and quiet, and then love and forgive yourself anyway!

Why, it would be carnage!!

In either scenario, you run the risk of finding out that it's not your fault that safe spaces full of kind people can be really hard to find, create, and nurture. You could end up building a skillset that helps you do those things if you're not careful!

If you start giving yourself even the tiniest amount of grace at a time, you will find that you've accessed a gateway drug with extreme long-term side effects:

- You might realize that it was never your fault that it took so long to like yourself.

- You might realize that you were always worth talking to, even when you didn't like yourself and communication felt impossibly difficult.

- You might realize that you'll still be worth talking to even if communication becomes harder as you age and/or experience disability.

- You might come to know that you deserve to be heard even on bad days when words come slow and blurry.

You might discover that you were always deserving of kindness, first and foremost from yourself.

So. As you can see, it's FAR too much of a risk to start granting your awkward self free pardons for your many heinous and harmless crimes. Better to just leave it there.

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...

[lesbianshepard]

please tell me you got through to that redditor i need a follow up

sorry to disappoint. there's only so much i could tolerate going in circles with me going "that's not a normal way to feel" and them going "you're only saying that because you're a degenerate" before i went "hey, I'm not going to do this anymore. You've got issues, and you're clearly an unhappy person who won't confront that. Stop telling people to kill themselves online and try therapy, or at least get a healthy hobby." and he stopped replying.
