HUGE NEWS FOR GAY PEOPLE!

I cant speak for anyone else obviously, but being a fat butch in fandom feels like this way too often

PLEASE stop calling female characters (or often feminine men) butch just because they have ONE trait thats not as feminine as the rest of their design.

It’s supremely weird that the Tally Hall fandom sent Ross hate for apparently posting pro-Israel things (things he has taken down, mind you) but is just… staying silent on Andrew continuing to like pro-Israel (and outrightly anti-Palestinian) content

what do you think about the demon kings? Or SWK's generals, or the spiritual primates, any of these

I think I'm glad they didn't add them in because of how people are quick to jump on shipping even though the generals were seen as older, mentor-like figures to SWK who told him to go to the Patriarch and then to go to Ao Guang to get his staff, etc, etc.

I like them and I adored them in the book and their deaths would have been so tragic but considering it is a kids show then it's best they didn't have them in for that either, I can't imagine how the mountain burning would have been taken.

As for the spiritual primates? Again, kind of glad they weren't included for said reasons above, I thnk they would've been great if not for the fact that having monkeys who are on level with Sun Wukong in terms of "controlling the sun and moon" would probably fuck with the entire concept of Heaven seeing Wukong as dangerous when there's two other guys right there who could possibly fuck them up too (which is very funny considering Macaque is possibly the weakest link not because he's not on Sun Wukong's level — but because he can, canonically, fucking die while Wukong cannot)

But I like them. I have my own designs for them and I see them as like.. Wukong's peepaws if anything.

Lovely folk

at the joking risk of being called chronically online i think it's funny when people (especially those who also spend a lot of time on the internet) act scandalized when people find academic ways to talk abt pop-culture media/fandom like. 1) fandom is actually a wide phenomenon now so there is understandably a lot to study about masses of people that come together and form a type of "culture" around a certain thing 2) it's always lowkey said with the "oh it's so embarrassing that their professor has to read that" as if these are not topics that have had to be approved somewhere by at least one person and 3) my own experience being in a graduate level rhetoric/composition/theory course is that i am writing a rhetorical analysis of pathos in undertale and my professor helped me start my research

this isnt in response to anything recent i was just thinking abt how a couple months ago there was something on twitter going around like "someone is writing their dissertation on BL that's so embarrassing" and after like thinking abt it for a minute it's like. yeah. there's probably a lot of research you can do on that. a lot to say to generate academic discussion.

Genuine question (no sarcasm) that I probably should google: what did Europeans, particularly people from the British Isles, eat before colonization? Like, what was the base of their cuisine before the advent of tomatoes and potatoes? Was it just wheat? Is wheat even European?

The ICJ are absolute pathetic cowards for not demanding a permanent nor immediate ceasefire

They can do that and chose not too- South Africa won in getting them to acknowledge the ongoing genocide as such but the ICJ's language makes is very clear they don't call for what over 80% of the world has been saying for months

We all knew Israel would ignore everything the ICJ orders them to do but I don't wish peace to any ICJ members. The people of the living world have asked for peace and once again a group of wealthy maggots have decided to not abide with the laws of the nature- I've had enough and cast what will happen.

I know that they will never dream in peace and be haunted by all those that have died and will die for their incompetence and lack of a spine. I pray they will stub all their toes to the point they can no longer regrow their toe nails and be unable to walk properly from the agonizing bruising of their veins and nerve endings. I acknowledge the demons that help line their pockets with blood money & encourage they manifest into physical forms and rob them of their boldily autonomy- decaying them from the inside out. I invoke that as long as they remain in the mortal realm, that all their food is always burnt, uneven, and undercooked so they cannot enjoy the bare minimum bliss that all life can experience. I speak into existence that their bloodlines will end 2 generations after them at the hands of whom they hold rather than save. When they breathe for the last time, I ask their graves be decimated, robbed, and fade away to unremarkble dust once all the survivors and their descendants have taken one round to shit and piss on their headstones and urns. And lastly I guarantee their legacy of being failures & housing the evil for the same of power to control humanity outlives them when we discuss human history even after 100 centuries have passed. So let it be done.

Sick of getting called homophobic for not enjoying or shipping byler. Sorry but will stans are right for not shipping him with a guy who said his life started the day he disappeared. There is no enjoyement here aside from supporting it to piss off actual homophobes. The ship itself sucks ass.

you're so funny for sending this to me like am i supposed to agree that it sucks😭😭 but yeah i know what you mean like are people not allowed to dislike a ship anymore as long as you're not being weird it's literally fine it's A STRANGER THINGS SHIP

This was one hc that I never really let go in the JSE fandom.

Anti pretty much hates every single one of Jack’s egos but “loves” the viewers.

The reasoning may vary from person to person but that’s the hc.

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:

Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.

The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.

The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.

The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.

Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.

The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.

Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".

He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.

This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.

Edit to add further developments:

Yes, this is all real. Check the notes and people have pictures. I understand the skepticism because it feels like a joke, but to the best of my knowledge, everything in the above is accurate.

Microsoft also owns the trademark on X for chatting and gaming because, y'know, X-box.

The logo came from a random podcaster who tweeted it at Musk.

The act of sending a tweet is now known as "Xeet". They even added a guide for how to Xeet.

The branding change is inconsistent. Some icons have changed, some have not, and the words "tweet" and "Twitter" are still all over the place on the site.

TweetDeck is currently unaffected and I hope it's because they forgot that it exists again. The complete negligence toward that tool and just leaving it the hell alone is the only thing that makes the site usable (and some of us are stuck on there for work).

This is likely because Musk was forced out of PayPal due to a failed credit line project and because he wanted to rename the site to "X-Paypal" and eventually just to "X".

This became a big deal behind the scenes as Musk paid over $1 million for the domain X.com and wanted to rebrand the company that already had the brand awareness people were using it as a verb to "pay online" (as in "I'll paypal you the money")

X.com is not currently owned by Musk. It is held by a domain registrar (I believe GoDaddy but I'm not entirely sure). Meaning as long as he's hung onto this idea of making X Corp a thing, he couldn't be arsed to pay the $15/year domain renewal.

Bloomberg estimates the rebranding wiped between $4 to $20 billion from the valuation of Twitter due to the loss of brand awareness.

The company was already worth less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid for it in the first place, meaning this may end up a worse deal than when Yahoo bought Tumblr.

One estimation (though this is with a grain of salt) said that Twitter is three months from defaulting on its loans taken out to buy the site. Those loans were secured with Tesla stock. Meaning the bank will seize that stock and, since it won't be enough to pay the debt (since it's worth around 50-75% of what it was at the time of the loan), they can start seizing personal assets of Elon Musk including the Twitter company itself and his interest in SpaceX.

Sesame Street's official accounts mocked the rebranding.
