While I’m complaining I’ll say the hate on Luke Combs for the success of his Fast Car cover has always been aggressively annoying, given Tracey Chapman has openly stated she likes the cover and loves the paychecks it brings in AND she made an extremely rare appearance at the Grammys to perform it with him, so there are clearly no hard feelings there whatsoever. And yet people continue to speak over her and make a problem where there isn’t one.
What if The Magnus Protocols unleashes a whole new generation of alchemists as a result of everyone going researching into alchemy in the hope of retrieving LORE
(imagine if you will the newly formed Tumblr alchemists pooling their knowledge and research and THAT's how we get the philosopher's stone. It would be so fucking funny)
(I am among the alchemy research enthusiasts. If anyone knows of any good Alchemy For Dummies resources I'd love to give them a read.)
also i know google kinda sucks now but its melting my brain that people act like chat gpt is anything other than like. summarizing research into poorly written paragraphs? like? this is stuff you could have just googled, actually, genuinely. its not... its not some magic new information or insight. youre just being paraphrased to. i feel like im losing my mind
The thing is "forced diversity" only became a real thing after people online got called out for only ever having like white ocs or just Never making women [ESPECIALLY TRANS WOMEN] and now sometimes I see a character lineup and its like Oh I can like actively see the diversity checklist you were crossing off in your head specifically to try and get tumblr woke points because you are being so fucking Weird about this. Like in an effort to be like LOOK LOOK AT HOW DIVERSE MY CAST IS I AM ADVERTISING THIS BY JUST TELLING YOU ABOUT HOW DIVERSE EVERYONE IS YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW GENRE OR THEMES they make it so clear that making characters of color or women or disabled characters etc has to be a Conscious Choice instead of just. Something that comes naturally because that reflects our real world.
there are a lot of symptoms of OCD that ive showed since childhood but ive kinda felt too much shame surrounding mental illness until recently where ive been working on both 1 unlearning that shame and understanding that diagnoses are not always helpful and can often be harmful with how psychiatry is practiced/its racist and misogynist and homophobic origins/so many other infinitely nuanced criticisms about psychiatry i dont have the ability to cover right now, and 2 becoming more and more critical of the psychiatric institution that abused me as time goes on and processing that the abuse i had to go thru was wrong so. idk why im saying this im just drunk and talking shit cause it makes me feel less crazy lol.
was going to make rarepair propaganda post abt how yosuke/adachi would actually be based but then i remembered that spinning my thoughts into anythinf even resembling coherent is like making my brain eat nails
I really can't understand this weird dichotomy Twitter has manefested with Gwen, Hobie and Miles as a love triangle. Bro, the whole point is that it's not a love triangle. It's Schrodinger's triangle. Hobie isn't interested in Gwen, and Gwen isn't interested in Hobie and until he actually meets the guy, everything Miles learns about Hobie is second-hand information from Gwen - That they're friends and she's been living with him for a few months. Miles isn't even all that jealous (because what's there to be jealous of??), he's just a 15 year old boy trying to find out if his crush is single and not attracted someone else he doesn't even know! Because, yeah, around this age, you are insecure, and you don't just ask the person you're interested in if they'd want to date you. And when it's obvious there's nothing between Gwen and Hobie, this plot point is dropped because its served its purpose in conveying Miles' uncertainty in himself.
