what can you say to make multiple strangers, your own family, and trained UNIT force members run away from you. thats what im stuck on. they specifically showed how it wasnt the persons proximity to ruby that made a difference

okay this is so small but makes me really happy. taketora just got done talking about how much he admires tanaka and how cool and "manly" he is, which like makes sense right, both tanaka and taketora are always being shown as these like loud "boy's boys" archetypes who do everything with power, talk about girls, and emphasize "guts" and "manliness," so obviously taketora would respect tanaka

but then he immediately turns to also think about how much he admires fukunaga in the same way—fukunaga who doesn't display any of those same qualities that taketora was just admiring about tanaka. fukunaga is quiet, fairly low-key and doesn't flaunt anything ever. dude just goes around making weird puns that 1 people often barely even hear and 2 apparently seem to baffle everyone. but taketora sees all of that and sees how fukunaga still shows up and gets the job done more than successfully—he's one of the top point getters on the team—and taketora respects him for all of that, still calls him a "man's man" and tbh more than respects him, he admires him and sees him as a rival

and idk that just makes me happy, like 1 it's a nice small way of furudate saying that yeah "manly" is a thing that's important to taketora but it doesn't just mean one stereotypical thing—like it's showing that taketora isn't as one dimensional as we would have thought and that he sees things from multiple perspectives (we also saw this from him back during the whole "guts" thing with kenma and how he respects him too)—and it's also an example of seeing fukunaga from another perspective too. it's because he's so low-key that even we as readers have probably barely noticed how much of a rock he is for the team, but if you got back through their matches you can see how often he does score—he's quiet but he's always there. and i just like that furudate takes a moment to not only acknowledge fukunaga but to do it from taketora's pov in order to really hit it home to us how true it must be

Im tired and should be asleep and also am not great at media analysis so I shouldn't be forming opinions or whatever but like. so far the plot for the knuckles series just seems really similar to the movies. some Bad Powerful guys want to capture knuckles for his Alien Power, and are using his quills to both power their weapons and track him down. so knuckles teams up with a cop to Escape and Defeat them. obviously the show isnt out yet and the trailer hasnt given everything away so I cant judge the plot fully yet, who knows maybe theyre hiding something fun, but. just from the trailer - which was designed for people to judge btw, dont get on my case about judging it before its come out - it doesnt seem to be anything particularly new

what pisses me off the most is mutliple news outlets posting like the casting has been "confirmed" as if their sources arent just some rando at cinemacon announcing it when he "wasnt supposed to" + other news outlets getting the hype😭 like paramount or jeff fowler havent said a WORD. WHO is confirming it😭???

yeah maybe its because i really wouldnt like this if it was true but the whole situation feels weird. the site is allegedly reliable, and they claim they have multiple sources, but like. what ARE the sources exactly? they wont say . who told you this. and no official sources are saying anything as far as i know?? and theyve been keeping everything about this movie as secret as possible and i dont remember knuckles' casting leaking in advance like this so . idk.

one of the worst phenomena in fandom is when theres a character that everyone loves so much and thinks is the greatest guy ever who only ever does nice good things and then some other people start to point out examples of that not being true and then their narrative starts being that that character sucks forever so much and is only ever awful and the worst and we cant have any nuance about literally anything ever yayyy yipee !!!

im gonna complain about some twitter behaviour in the tags as per usual just to get it out so 😭😭

edit because there are more crazy related tweets on my tl but i need someone to well-intentionally explain what “looks like ferrari” means considering how he doesn’t look like schumi or any of the ferrari drivers that ik of at all or im just going to continue assuming its some subtly racist thing

[smol-tired-binch-blog]

hate how im now at a point where im legit like kicking my legs and grinning like an idiot over fictional characters SEND HELP

hearing my political influencer roommate say "I won't promote Biden because he hasnt called for a ceasefire to the genocide, but I am still voting for him" is so genuinely tone deaf and stupid and it alone convinced me I am DEFINITELY not voting for that stupid motherfucker (I already wasn't going to, but it confirmed I was making the right call)

the sentiment I keep hearing is "as long as it isn't Trump" but it's so frustrating to think, for some people, Biden is as bad as Trump, for some people his lack of action on major policy change has altered their lives permanently in ways than will never be undone

"well Trump is going to enact a national abortion ban, doesn't that scare you?" sure, but I'm scared right now for the very real people currently unable to get the Healthcare they need because of loss of roe v. wade, for some people that ban is already in place and they're facing very real consequences of it as we speak

I'm scared for my friends, my family, myself, and all the people I may never know who are being impacted RIGHT NOW by the democratic presidency we're currently under

just because I am not currently impacted does not mean it shouldn't be a priority, just because it doesn't directly impact me doesn't mean I should just let it go

they cannot have my vote just because they're blue, just because they pacify us with small scale wins while continuing to fund the very things that keep us from being in a position of power

shit in the government can take a long time, I get it, but clearly they can move quick when it's something they all want, like ripping the power from the people and silencing voices that want genuine change

they all want the same thing, just because democrats aren't up there screaming on stage doesn't make them any less evil than republicans

I have so many ideas I could explore for Jack and Ianto but the thing is they are hardly the only ship I care for and when I write for other fandoms and when 19 whole people kudos a new fic, they leave more than 2 words in feedback underneath. A single "loved this!" does not a writer feed, and sure, no one owes me comments, but I don't owe anyone fic either, and I would rather explore other, equally interesting, ideas i have for ships where people engage with my writing 🤷‍♂️

what if i said my genuine opinion of "rom the vacuous spider" is that she's actually not like, peaceful because she's stupid, she's just extremely fucking chill bc she's so enlightened. like she WILL defend herself but really she just wants to hide in her cool lake world and hide dark rituals

[ghostlysoupcan]

i dont get how some people especially neurodivergent people can look at people with personality disorders and be utterly ableist and sanist against them when 9/10 you have more in common with a pwASPD or NPD than you do a neurotypical just based on the fact that mental illness is literally buy one get twelve free in some cases

i think the whole "miles is ALSO spider man" debate becomes worthless when you realize miles is in fact referred to as spider man in every single rendition of him..... except for the ones aimed at 4-8 year olds. which at that point makes your argument mean nothing

[alexanderpearce]

having to come to terms with the fact that i never actually got rid of my internalised homophobia it's just taken different forms over the years and also half the time i didn't realise i had it

[munamania]

do you remember when people acted like people do you remember when everyone wasn’t so painfully self conscious and anxious about being recorded without their consent and actually participated in the moment and didn’t base their entire understanding of humanity off of like tiktok trends and superficial judgments and actually tried to engage with people outside of themselves remember when we cared about other human beings remember when we weren’t all so guarded also remember when influencers weren’t a thing

shopping for clothes especially online as a Fat Person and someone who wears exclusively an xl is so . hard. because you find a place that sells good quality cute clothes for fat people (specifclally ppl who are like Me who are. short AND fat. bc a lot of times, lke, xl pants for example fit me when it comes to waist and hips but are way way way too long for my itty bitty legs. so they get frustrating to wear sDJJKLjlJJKD) ........ and they end up costing, like, $60. i saw a rly rly cute pair of overalls and i was like oh these are cute!!!!!!!!! but they're $80. and the largest size they had available was medium. sigh.

I hope all the queer characters in Mad M*n know how much I love them.
