“Banksy vs Paris Hilton” was an artistic endeavour in which Banksy tampered with the musical release of Paris Hilton’s music album by replacing the music and images with his own. In the Banksy copy Heiress Paris Hilton is depicted with a bare chest, and replaced her head for that of a dog’s.
Each page carries an insubordinate comment such as “Every CD you buy puts me even further out of your league” and “Thou shalt not worship false icons”. The music is replaced with a Danger Mouse version. The musician of Gnarls Barkley fame cuts in Hilton’s well used catch phrase “..that’s hot..”.
The music was remixed by Banksy and Danger Mouse, and contains tracks with titles such as “Why Am I Famous?, “What Have I Done?”, and “What Am I For?”.
Banksy visited 42 record stores around the UK, switching the original Paris Hilton CDs with his amended copies, placing them in the original sleeves with the barcode so that they could be purchased.
Banksy’s stunt featured in the national press and as a result, most of the works were removed and destroyed at the time.
Paris later said: “Banksy is an iconic artist and I thought it was really cool that he would take that time to go and get 500 of my albums and do that to them.”
She added: “I’ve actually been trying to buy one. I’m trying to wait for another one (to become available) because they’re very limited edition. But I thought it was awesome that he did that.”

Saiki Kusuo, but it's him and his learned helplessness against the world. Him. But like, he's trying to explain how he feels but he can't express it. So he just. Gives up and lets people handle it. Or like, just stand there while they're getting angry at him and thinking about how, even for a powerful psychic like him, there's nothing he can do to just make that person or people stop. Because anything he does is useless. (Elaborated in tags)

Kinda scary how asmo switches it up if you upset him or do something he doesnt like
just the general idea of having to deal with a very well liked and popular person latching on to you but ur aware that theyre mean and passive aggressive when u dont go along with their shit
and u dont wanna go along with whatever they say but this person keeps latching on harder every time u you try to go against them

out of curiosity, how did you start beefing with xiao?
i had to use money to get him after losing to 50/50. he came home after 81 pity, way after i had run out of the primos i bought. i had to resort to farming primos for him.
after that, no matter how much I built him he comes out wrong (got him 3 builds).
so yeah, that's why i have a beef with him (i will also fight him for Venti's hand)

the thing about like. finding joy in your life or whatever. is that i do and i am often able to make myself excited about small things in my life and find joy in the world and other people’s lives and existence and nature and make projects that i love and i have people in my life who love and support me. and yet.

i just think sonic heroes doesnt have particularly good writing or direction, the story feels PAINFULLY cut down and it makes me a little mad how much more it couldve been if they had spent more time on it
also its kind of insane that the better parts are mostly contained in the team dark story and metal's whole deal, while the main heroes are like. nothing

like the wu ming reveal was all very nice but since this all happened nearly a thousand years before the events of books 1, 3, and 5 its like...okay? everything about their relationship in the flashback I either found creepy or didn't care about 😭 ik some fans like the idea of a character so loyal he's willing to destroy a whole country on the word of his god slash crush but umm I do not! also hc disguising himself as the child who was hanging out with xl was so weird why did he do that. age gap creepiness aside it was just stupid and eliminated a chatacter I was really excited about. and it pissed me off when he kicked qyz off the sedan chair like let him sit!!! his single-minded focus on xl got so so old and his insistence on inserting himself everywhere was intrusive and annoying! to me. got real tired of his 'fuck everyone else I got dianxia' mindset. immature. annoying. and unfair
