Ya'll want to know the funniest shit?

I'm researching the era when Alastor was alive right now to get a better idea of both his character, the life he lived before Hell, and to hash out a backstory for him.

And so, apparently, Alastor lived through the Prohibition (which was basically the United States government illegalizing the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol because they thought it was the cause of a lot of domestic violence and child abandonment).

Alastor canonically died in 1933.

Do you know how long the Prohibition lasted?

From 1920-1933.

ALASTOR LITERALLY DIED THE SAME YEAR ALCOHOL BECAME LEGAL AGAIN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW BITTER HE MUST'VE BEEN?

The Prohibition officially ended on December 5, 1933, and now my headcanon is that Alastor died December 6, 1933. Literally the day after he could legally drink all the booze he wanted.

I am learning a LOT about New Orleans and the era Alastor lived through (including the gay community in the city at the time) which has been a lot of fun, and I just wanted to share that tidbit because it is so fucking funny to me.

#guys i just #its so funny #can you imagine Alastor gets the news #everything is awesome #the next day he's planning to go out drinking and have a good time #but first he needs to get rid of this body #it shouldn't take too long #just a few hours #and THEN this motherfucking hunter decides to ignore hunting laws and mistakes him for a deer #when he wakes up he's in Hell #I can just imagine the realization setting in #he's SO bitter and angry about it #he was about to get shit-faced and have a fun time at a party #and now he's suffering eternal punishment #he couldn't even get a proper drink first #it was just a fun tidit #ALSO #the gay community in New Orleans at the time is so fascinating #they literally entire communities and neighborhoods #and a lot of it was from mixed race people #and we know Alastor is mixed race #AH I have so so many thoughts #hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #the radio demon #hazbin hotel fanart #alastor hazbin hotel #alastor the radio demon

they put a baby in a kart and let him steer straight into the bushes

#insaaaaaaaane image #obsessed with everything about this #nico as the world's tiniest driver #keke with the slutty open race suit chest hair on display #the tiny baby helmet and goggles #the fact that nico really did steer them straight into the bushes because keke was going too fast for him #nico rosberg #keke rosberg

nah because crofty is genuinely insane because why would you say that about your coworker???? and to his face??? "this man knows lewis hamilton. friends, teammates, childhood buddies, rivals, everything but a lover." hello???? why are you saying that to nico rosberg's face???? why are you, as the lead f1 commentator, writing fanfiction about your coworker???? about him and his ex???? and also, what an insane thing to say about someone else's relationship!!! "everything but a lover"... just show them having gay sex onscreen, it would be less intimate than whatever the hell you just said.

#it's been almost 3 years since that happened and yet i still rotate that moment in my head like a rotisserie chicken #'everything but a lover'.... what a terribly intimate thing to say about another person #like isn't that more romantic than actually being someone's partner??? they are everything to you but a romantic interest #wow... they are your friend your brother the little butterflies in your stomach... everything and anything but a lover #because like you can live without a lover but can you live without the tender smile your friend gives you when something good happens?#can you live without the hugs and the shared podiums and the shared dreams and greece?#also imagine lewis coming home and eciding to watch a recap of the race and then crofty just says this... like what the fuck do you even sa #i just /know/ that the industry is scheming to bring them back together again bc what else could this have been?#david croft #lewis hamilton #nico rosberg #brocedes #f1

why is lestat's turn of events more truthful than louis'?? like, no doubt about it that louis is an unreliable narrator. which he also does admit to himself, he is very aware that he is speaking from his perspective and he doesn't know everything and time does change memories and views of those memories.

but why do so many people in the fandom believe lestat over louis? why is he automatically more reliable and truthful than louis?

#i'm not just saying this because louis is my favourite. like yes he is unreliable that is true #but so is lestat and it's weird to not question HIS version of events #the show wants us to question the idea of memory and perspective and narrative and who is telling the story #just because the white character says something doesn't mean you should believe him and pity him #(also lestat is likely under mind control/tortured before the trial into condemning louis and claudia)#QUESTION EVERYTHING PLEASE #READ BOOKS AND ARTICLES ABOUT RACE IN GOTHIC LIT PLEASE #iwtv #interview with the vampire #amc iwtv s2 spoilers #amc iwtv season 2 #tvc #louis de pointe du lac #lestat de lioncourt #amc iwtv #interview with the vampire season 2

Oh.

Nintendo out there just casually (kinda) confirming the "descended from humans" and "the wraiths are involved in all of the spaceship crashes" theories.

(source)

Okay, they're not really "confirmations" but more like they're officially addressing the different theories that people have about the true nature of PNF-404 and are telling you to keep on speculating on your own time.

Take these translations with a grain of salt since they're machine translations.

#pikmin #nintendo #pikmin 3 #pikmin 4 #i've always been kinda on and off with the umebozu theory. and i think this is the first time nintendo has directly addressed it #but i've pointed out that shepherd's family are likely descendants from humans since the start #what i don't get (and i'm not sure if i've posted about)#is that if humans are their ancestors #what happened that gave humans the ability to travel through space #and then subsequently lose the ability and also forget the history of Earth?#that's really the biggest mystery to me right now #the crashing and the pikmin's motives we can chalk up to sci-fi nonsense #but what happened for them to just lose millions of years of records?#was there another apocalyptic event that caused them to lose everything again?#are they just bad at record keeping?#is that why so many of the races are obsessed with nostalgia?

Someone made a really well written post on chilchuck and misogyny, but its not able to be rbed so im just sharing my analysis of it here. Bc i love this topic. I love it so much.

#I sort of touched on this in one of my comics #The one where he gets weird about Bea saying she should start working instead of him #He means well but because he still does have this internal idea of woman #He ends up hurting her and his marriage #dungeon meshi #chilchuck #Dont even get me started on Marcille’s (internalized and not so internalized) racism and internalized misogyny #Or Laios and Falins whole prejudice against Other tallmen #Or Shuro’s own reductive view of women #Or Namari’s occasional bigotry towards half-foots #Or how Kabru talks down to fellow Tallmen and thinks of Kobolds as less human than other races #Or everything about Mickbell #Etc #All the characters are very human in ways that can be sort of uncomfortable #I think the most realistic part of me is that none of them mean any harm

I see a lot of people headcanoning that Marcille and Kabru will become friends postcanon over a shared love of gossip, but to me the biggest thing they have in common is that they're both deeply concerned with the inequality between the races.

I think before anything else, as the two people closest to the throne, they'll probably end up banding together over their shared desire to fix the divide between the races. Marcille has to give up on her dream of magically changing humanity, but she can help Laios achieve it Kabru's way, through political and social change.

#Dungeon Meshi spoilers #there's a lot of ambiguity over magic going forward and what the demons did to the different races....#but I think it's overall a very “you can't always have the exact thing you want” ending #so I don't see the lifespans reversing as a possible outcome. for better or worse we find a way forward regardless.#you can't magic your way out of everything ... but you CAN get three meals a day and proper exercise!#anyway even if Laios didn't really think of it in those terms he did want to create a place for everyone to live in harmony #and I like the hints that he achieves that with the kids of different races shown in the epilogue #I think that would be something Kabru and Marcille focus on a lot #musings with Dea #I just love thinking about the Golden Country trio you guys

number #1 tactic that people use to not sound as racist as they are when they talk to black people: 'uhh so you AMERICANS need to stop pretending everything is about YOU. why should i know this im not from the us :/' (= is talking about like. a phenomenally internationally well-known black artist)

#myposts #kendrick lamar #drake #i updated it from 'white europeans' to 'people' because some people pointed out that 'gringo' is probably more south american lingo #but the point i wanted to make is like. there is this subset of european people (quite a lot of them)#who try to deflect by saying them not knowing these things isn't because of an active lack of disinterest in black culture and influences #and like. them not knowing who a certain black person is is never an educational failing on their side of any sorts #but instead are pretending that like. they are by virtue of being european always correctly educated on What History And Art Is Important #like. 2 months back that one post pretending that 'us europeans dont need to know all your AMERICAN writers 🙄' talking about james baldwin?#like just because that person didnt know who james baldwin was #they immediately were mad at the implication that They Didn't Know Someone Of Cultural Significance #and twisted it into 'well he cant be that important by virtue of me not knowing him'#like completely ignoring that the european school system also has. race problems and also ignoring that he lived and wrote in France too #but like. its this really racist defence mechanism of like. 'well you stupid americans always make everything about yourselves'#i hope i make sense i didnt think this would blow up lol #and like some people in the notes of that post were so smug about not knowing who Kendrick Lamar is #bc to them thats like 'oh im too cultured to be listening to rap of any sorts' like completely dismissing his music as kind of second class #by virtue of it being rap and black music and him not being in the White Mainstream as much as other musicians #(i mean hes still like 24th most listened artist worldwide but you get what i mean)

Thinking about Steve Rogers finally getting the chance to go to college post-ice and being the most fucking annoying student in a philosophy professors class

#you KNOW that boy is arguing with everything #not mean spirited about it #but he wants to challenge everything to learn #push a little deeper #understand a little better #dig up what moral ground he stands on and discover the moral ground that society is built on these days vs the days he grew up vs the futur #plus he absolutely has BANGER thoughts about what is death and consciousness #by most annoying it also includes going back and forth with the professor for so long that people end up staying after class ends lol #NOT TO MENTION #he gets to have the fucking funniest excuses for why he didn't do that assignment or it was late or whatever #like #uh ma'am an alien race invading New York got in the way of me finishing my paper can i have an extension?#steve rogers

the recency bias in the f1 community is insane actually

#this is mostly regaring the comments i’ve seen about how ferrari are going to regret signing lewis over carlos for next year #like have people just forgotten everything lewis has achieved in his career???#even last year! he came in third in the driver standings!#like #how can people compare carlos and lewis now and think that it’s a compelling argument #???#the ferrari is literally the second fastest car!!!!!#but no just cause he has had trouble with his car in the last 3 gps he’s ’washed’#let’s just disregard the fact that the merc is a tractor in disguise right now i guess…..#please be so fucking for real right now #formula 1 #f1 #lewis hamilton #this is not me being anti carlos btw. carlos is undeniably an amazing driver and i hope he gets a good seat next year #but please. we’re only 3 races into this season #we still have a long way to go #just chill #anyway #just had to get this off my chest

hxh taught me a lot about what it truly means to have experience in your area of expertise.

this is what having experience in the field means. They figured out so much in only so little and immediately took measures against it. this fight is so good... shows u how insane the zoldycks are

even chrollo was like damn chill!!

#like i genuinely didnt understand why experience mattered if two people were just as skilled as each other. then i watched hxh and was like #oh SHIT. NO WONDER.#i love when we get these snippets that just confirm that there is really everything to fear about the zoldycks no matter who u are #chrollo wouldve died if it wasnt for his quick thinking of hiring illumi to take out the dons #if illumi decided to fuck him over it wouldve been game over for him. but this also shows that they have a strong job code #no matter who theyre against. even if its illumi against his own father and grandfather racing against the clock lol #i think it was illumis biggest flex to win that race tbh.#L silva & zeno #interesting that u can hire zoldycks in opposite jobs against each other. like thats a thing.#imagine if hisoka hired all the zoldycks against the troupe. uh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #anyways yapping over #hxh #hunter x hunter #silva zoldyck #zeno zoldyck #chrollo lucilfer #my post #zoldycks #zoldyck family

#obligatory jonasposting #i don’t know if i got the vibe i wanted to capture?? i feel like watching jonas race this year has ultimately been about hope #like the entire thing at its core feels like a leap of faith- of course visma was obsessively running numbers behind the scenes and #trying to prepare him as well as possible #but in the end he still hadn’t raced since april. he still had less than half the preparation and a massive question mark was following #them to the startline #but he still came. and he still believed. and everyone around him believed beyond everything else-#staff. commentators. fans. everyone was holding their breath because they don’t know where to place their bets #so it all comes down to crossing your fingers every time he gets a mechanical. saying a prayer under your breath when he loses 30 seconds.#and then stage 11 comes along! the tension is suddenly resolved and it’s like seeing the sun again!#but then things start to go downhill- but everyone still keeps hoping. the commentators i was watching were still saying “if” instead of #“when” about his podium in stage 21 because despite everything people still had hope! they don’t want to lay down the hammer #and even when he still finished second #the grief still mingled with the wonderful and beautiful fact that he still did it!#you take a step back and against all odds jonas vingegaard came back from the brink of death and podiumed the fucking tour de france!#and that heartbreak and wonder can coexist. you didn’t hope for nothing. the sky is still blue. the sun still shines. he made it.#sorry long tag rant i’m a yapper at heart y’all #me reading or listening to anything ever rn: omg this is so jonas coded!!!#jonas vingegaard #jv #tadej pogacar #remco evenepoel #wout van aert #wva #matteo jorgenson #tdf #tdf 2024 #tour de france 2024 #tour de france #cycling
