Hazbin fans will be like "my taste in men is so QUIRKY! I think Meanus Peanus is hot..." and then they will show you "Meanus Peanus" and he will literally be the most sexyman bait character you have ever laid eyes upon

God surrealist transformers artwork really has me feeling a lot right now I think I’m going to bs some sort of excuse to explore surrealist distorted robots for my next college assignment

[katagawajr]

don’t understand why gearbox claims theyre not making ntftbl an actual tftbl sequel because they “want to explore and tell a brand new story,” yet they’re literally just redoing an identical version of the bl3 promethea arc but simply with a different company (as far as i know)?

they’re really bringing rhys back again but completely stripping away all of his actual nuanced character complexity/personality, as well as stripping him of every relationship he had in tftbl? they just turned him into a comedic relief caricature to be the “new marketable face of borderlands,” while getting rid of everyone else which is such an insult to the original tales

WEDNESDAY SPOILERS

i swear to fucking god. if i see another person shipping wednesday with either tyler or xavier i will lose my collective shit. i don't want ship edits on my fyp.

but it's not even just those. i found an awesome edit of tyler, absolutely stunning, and 90% of the comments were about him and wednesday.

there are so many levels as to why i'm mad about this ranging from "i don't believe she's attracted to guys, she's probably aroace (though i do like her and enid or her and bianca)" to "both of those idiot guys got mad at her for "leading them on" when she had not done a single thing that suggested she cared about them past using them as a means to an end" to "why does the female lead always have to have a romance plot/be in the corner of a love triangle (which should be called love corner not love triangle but that's another story) even when it is completely unneccesary (someone enlighten me on the point of that "love story" with xavier if it's even worthy of that name)"

[plantingatree]

the amount of content in a levels is just crazy to me…i’ll never understand why the exam boards require you to know so much content. everything just feels like a memory game rather than trying to understand & enjoy what you’re trying to learn 🥲 like maths, i can’t comprehend one topic before we’re moving onto the next…I have like fourteen folders for maths or something. 14. we’re not even done yet.

and don’t get me start on environmental science…the biggest topic is pollution and you need to know basically every type…its causes, impacts, methods to reduce it etc…Who needs to know all that? No one! It’s so boring and ridiculous. plus there’s an entire topic on soil and one on rocks. then like a million other topics that are equally as boring.

i think biology is the only one i’m managing to keep up with. i actually really hate a levels. i’m doing well but jesus, id rather be happy and not be doing these at all LOL

ok rant over thank u and goodnight

[canidkid]

sorry you're not having a very nice time, friend:( but! i'm here to send some more superstore stuff if that's alright! :)

Kelly;

seems to be a big fan of lifetime/hallmark movies, so i just imagine her setting up a movie night! making popcorn and bringing out the warmest blankets to make sure you stay cozy while watching the movie.

she also just seems like the type to go all out for any holiday! like having a small easter egg hunt at easter, or dressing you up in cute matching costumes at halloween! she'd definitely be the type to get personalized stockings with your name on them for christmas, and do adorable little christmas crafts.

Jonah;

small hc that after the golden globes party, jonah was just so excited to show kelly all of the old commercials she hadn't seen so he could rant about them and so that she would 'be in the know'.

also just the quote, "i never yell. even when i'm mad. i just push it down really deep, and then sometimes i wake up in the middle of the night panicked and sweaty for no reason. " it just seems like something that would cause him to regress. i like to think it was something that happened while he was still with kelly (since he said it after they had broken up), and she helped calm him down afterwards. just like she'd do after a nightmare.

*weep* thank u for this TwT

I've been missing superstore stuff hehuhehe

This somehow spawned a whole little fic,, so,,, for everyone's reading pleasure

I'd say it's more agere adjacent than anything explicitly mentioned, but I really really love the idea of Kelly jumping to calm Jonah down like "No questions asked, you're getting a kissy on the head. Ok, goodnight."

cw: brief description of anxiety

Kelly turned over in bed, throwing her arm over her face. What time was it?! And why was she awake again?? She tried to glance at her alarm clock, only to realize it wasn't there. Moreover, she wasn't in her own bed, or her own home for that matter. She'd been spending the night with Jonah more often than not recently. She almost let herself drift back to sleep when she remembered why she'd been woken up in the first place.

She propped herself up to look at her partner through sleepy eyes.

Kelly startled slightly when she saw the state he was in. Sitting upright against the headboard, staring at the opposite wall, hardly breathing. He looked like he'd seen a ghost. His blankets had been kicked far from where they should be, and Kelly could see him trembling even in the dark.

“Jonah..?” Kelly whispered, not wanting to scare her boyfriend. “Did you have a nightmare, what's wrong?” Jonah physically flinched when she spoke up, which sent a pang of something unpleasant straight to Kelly's stomach.

“I'm-good. No nightmare. I'm fine, I'm good I'm-” Jonah's hasty response caught in his throat and he brought his hands up to hide his face. He fell silent again, and all Kelly could hear was his ragged breathing. She tentatively placed a hand on his back, like her own mother had done when she'd had a bad dream as a kid. She felt her boyfriend sob silently in response.

“Whatever it was, um, you're safe here? Yeah?” The sleepy fog in Kelly's brain was steadily lifting as she tried to understand the situation. She moved her hand in slow circles against Jonah’s back in an attempt to comfort him. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hands and turned to look at her, still teary. “S’ too much, sometimes,” he croaked, his voice hoarse and small, “..everything.”

Kelly nodded. She understood. “Oh, I know,” she cooed, “you've been dealing with so much lately. Work's been crazy and with trying to find a place to live and-”, she stopped in her tracks. “C’mere.”

Jonah readily let himself be pulled into her arms, immediately tucking his face against her neck. Kelly noticed how tense he felt, and instinctively began to rock slightly from side to side. One of her hands found purchase in his hair, her baby blue manicured nails drawing soothing circles across his scalp. She pressed a kiss to the side of his head. “You don't have to think about any of that now.” She whispered.

They stayed like that for a while as Jonah's racing heartbeat slowed down, his muscles relaxed bit by bit - certainly aided by Kelly's expert comfort. Until, eventually, he just felt like a pile of sleepy goop in her embrace, instead of an anxious mess.

“Thanks”, he mumbled against her, feeling his cheeks heat up with the embarrassment of the whole situation. He felt so stupid and immature, like he should have rejected the comfort she offered and just…dealt with it. Like he always did.

Jonah shifted to sit beside Kelly, vehemently avoiding eye contact. “You should go back to sleep now. Sorry- sorry I woke you up.”

Kelly wasn't having that. She turned Jonah's face up with a gentle touch of her hand to make sure he was listening. “You don't have to go through everything by yourself, Pumpkin.” Kelly mentally kicked herself for letting the sillu pet name slip, but Jonah didn't seem to mind. He only responded with a tight-lipped nod, not wanting to cry again. She was just so sweet. Kelly gave a small smile before settling back down into her pillow. She held the corner of her blanket up, and Jonah accepted the invitation, crawling underneath and letting Kelly pull him close again.

…maybe it wasn't so bad to be fussed over.

ok im back for my rant about the fucking BRILLIANCE of Sir Terry Pratchett, specifically surrounding the discworld novels (because im probably a teensy bit insane but oh well who isnt nowadays)

first off, im a huge fan of the way he writes in general- so much so, in fact, that my own writing style is pretty inspired by him. its the perfect combination of sentence structuring and comedic timing and side-notes. not to mention the structuring of the novels themselves which also adds so much to the novel!!!

the comedy is always on-point (at least in my opinion, but that applies to everything i say here tbh) with short references and just ahajerirkrkfk my brain is short-circuiting but i fucking love pratchett humour its something unique and wonderful and oh so incredible. an example to possibly aid my word vomit- the use of footnotes to provide a comedic position on whatever its referencing whilst also providing context and worldbuilding is fucking genius and makes me laugh every single goddamn time.

on that note, the world-building is insane. the discworld novels are a collection of novels concerning a world that is flat and circular atop four giant elephants atop an even bigger space turtle called the great a’tuin. theres vampires, dwarfs, trolls, werewolves, gnomes, witches, wizards, warlocks, gods of almost absolutely everything under the sun, and all of them have bucketloads of history and personal culture. theres huge goddamn cities, rivers, towns- you name it, its probably been covered in the incredible worldbuilding. and yet its built in such a way that you could probably pick up any book in the series and read it with little to no context and still understand and enjoy the novel itself.

heres something i personally have the most admiration for: the casual inclusion of subtle lgbtq+ representation that just lights up my heart to no end. my favourite example is the dwarves. dwarves in discworld had little concept of gender in the traditional sense, all had beards and kind of just existed as a whole. when they started to move out of the mines and caves they lived in and into the big city of ank-morpork they gradually began exploring these concepts of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ and some dwarves realised that maybe they themselves wanted to be women too. most kept their beards and some changed how they dressed/presented to be more feminine but not all. of course there were some older dwarves who were dead set against this whole gender thing but overall its pretty accepted in the universe and there’s even a female dwarf as one of the main characters of the discworld subplots

anyways yeah i fucking love terry pratchett and everything hes done for this world thank you and goodnight

Hello, it's me again (if you can remember who I am) But I've had a bit of a weird day and I've been debating with myself wether or not to to and talk about it.

I've decided I am, but not very much. Since I'm still kind of scared that you're not in the mood to listen to me rant.

Warning here, the next few pieces of text will contain:

TW: sa mentions

If you are uncomfortable or triggered by this, please scroll away and do not read!

-----

I feel sick. I saw him today. And it was horrible. Just looking him in the eye was horrible.

I was picking my sibling up from school, and I saw him.

I was petting a cat and when I stood up, he was staring at me. In the eye, trying to work out who I am.

I had changed since it happened, different haircut, had a little bit of makeup on, taller, ect ect. So the possibility of him not remembering who I am is high.

But the face he had on while trying to find out who I was, the 2 second eye contact it scared me. Like, really scared me.

I panicked and ran down to my siblings school as fast as I could.

Scared he'd try something

I started remembering all the shit he did to me, and it kind of messed me up for the rest of the day.

I said goodnight to my best friend, but I still can't sleep

Sometimes I feel as though I'm not as valid as other people because he was younger than me.

I wish it never happened

:(

--------

By the way, if you're confused on who I am, I'm the same anon that asked if they could talk to you here :)

first off, it’s perfectly okay to vent to me whenever. Never feel scared to, ever. This is a perfectly safe space and I’ll never judge you, no matter what you say.

Secondly, I’m so sorry you had to go through that at first, and then see that person again. Its a horrible feeling and nobody deserves that, you didn’t deserve that at all. It’s a completely understandable reaction to be scared, especially to someone who’s done those kind of things to you. I get it, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed of being scared. I’m proud of you for managing to get through it and even just coming here to talk to me about it, that takes a lot of bravery to do, and it especially takes a lot of courage to open up about sa. I get the fear, I get how hard it is to deal with.

If it makes you feel better to think of it rationally, you should remember that it’s a school place. Staff, teachers, etc, should be around and would be able to see if anything was going to happen to you. Although I understand if that doesn’t help, because a lot of the time, fear stops you think rationally. Especially when it’s fear that you’re in danger- All that you have to remember now, though, is that person can’t hurt you anymore and you’re safe.

Everything you’re feeling and going through mentally and emotionally because of what the person did to you is valid. It doesn’t matter if they were younger, older, if any of your experience didn’t feel “valid enough”, your experience is valid and you deserve to be heard and comfortable. Everyone’s experience with sa is different, and that’s okay.

Again, I’m sorry that happened to you at all in the first place, and I wish I could help you more. I want you to remember that you’re loved and that people will be here for you and will listen to you when you need it. I’m always gonna be here if you need to rant or need comfort and that’ll never change.

Take care of yourself and try and get some sleep, ok? Do whatever makes you feel best, I’ll be here if you need me. Love u <33 /p (only saying that cause Ik ur secret identity, but that’s ok 💕)

[andromedia5]

this is a rant proceed w caution

ok so I think what drives me so crazy about people being like “omg Dick Grayson is such a mirrorball!!!” is not that I’ve always associated it with Donna since its one of the songs on folklore that corresponds to Betty and . . . you know

but for me its really like such a mirrorball experience that Donna literally IS the older sister complex and yet people hear a song about that and are like “YES! WOW!! YOU KNOW WHO THIS REMINDS ME OF?” and then point to the man standing next to her

like no Dick doesn’t have an older sister complex. one he’s literally not a sister and I am making it about gender cause girls are expected to do more younger, its just a fact, and two, HE LITERALLY DOESNT HAVE ONE

my man was like not involved at all until Tim (which is fine, im not hating on him for that im just saying), even then he was sorta just in it to fall of trains upon hearing about his gf being pregnant 

and anything people cite as evidence to the contrary is always drumroll please something from dc’s crusade to give Dick any and all of Roy’s interesting relationship dynamics and character traits

and when the part of the song that people are freaking the fuck out about is when she (Taylor) mentions a circus . . . but the situation she's describing is so much more donna than it is Dick

like hear me out

And they called off the circus, burned the disco done 

Hayleys post the Graysons’ death

When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns

Dick’s childhood being essentially over   

 I'm still on that tightrope  

Donna forcing herself to do something she isn’t prepared or capable of doing (because she, Dick was a literal baby) and carrying literally everyone’s emotional baggage while having plenty of her own 

I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me                                             

throughout their entire childhood being the one constant source of joy and quasi-normalcy 

the rest of the song is also very her (I’ve never been a natural the fucking purple laser thingy) but yeah that's my spiel, goodnight new york

OKAY HI JUST GONNA RANT ABOUT SOME ROMANCE TROPES DON'T MIND ME FEEL FREE TO KEEP SCROLLING NO HARD FEELINGS

OK, so romance. Common subplot in many books, rare to find a book where there isn't at least one couple, right?

But want to know what I hate?

How OBSTREPEROUSLY in-your-face it is. Like, the book is screaming at you 'OH MY HEAVENS THIS CHARACTER WANTS TO KISS THIS ONE GUY BUT SHE ALSO WANTS TO KISS ANOTHER GUY OH NO WHAT A DILEMMA HORROR OF HORRORS' and like-

can we not? Look, if that's your cup of tea then drink away, we have the Romance genre for a reason.

But like- what really gets me is when people bloody SHOEHORN romance into OTHER genres.

I go and innocently pick up a book, lured in by promises of superheroes or heists or high fantasy or WHATEVER, and then halfway through the book it DERAILS INTO ROMANCE

AND LIKE SURE ROMANCE? I DON'T MIND ROMANCE. IT CAN ACTUALLY ME QUITE FUN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

BUT WHERE IS THE RIGHT PLACE, YOU ASK?

NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT I WAS ANTICIPATING TO BE SUPERHERO HIJINKS, THAT'S WHERE

And for the record, I do enjoy a dash or romance on occasion. Specifically the kind where it's just two people in love being sweet and stuff. (smut is definitely not my cup of tea, even over-described kisses)

But want to know what? THAT'S A DASH. THAT ISN'T THE POINT.

THAT'S A SIDE THING.

YES THESE CHARACTERS ARE KISSING AND YES THAT WILL HAVE SOME IMPACT ON THE STORY BUT I HONESTLY DO NOT GIVE A CRAP

I AM NOT HERE FOR SMOOCHY SMOOCHY oh no my heart is broken I AM HERE FOR PUNCHY PUNCHY HEISTS AND FANTASY

We need more casual romance.

Like- yes! These two people kiss in their spare time! Very well done! But there is currently an evil overlord we need to overthrow, so they can kiss after we've done that!

Or yes! These two just met and are on opposite sides, and now have feelings for each other, which complicates things! Delightful! But they'll have to figure that out as they go, because the climactic battle draws near and they must prepare!

Or even! These two good friends are starting to be a little bit more than good friends and are easing towards a relationship! Simply smashing for them! But also we have diamonds to steal from our archnemesis, so maybe THAT should be the book's focus?

Look, maybe all I'm saying is; if you're going to make half this book's conflict be 'should they kiss or not' maybe this belongs under the Romance label and not Fantasy or Superhero???

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT

(I could also yell about 'lOvE aT fIrSt SiGhT' for a while, but honestly that's a trope that can actually be well-done. When it isn't beaten to death with a stick, that is)

consumerism rant

i am sick and tired of people (my family) judging me for buying clothes second hand and pretending like the stuff i get at thrift stores for 5 pounds isn't way more sustainable and unique than their designer bs that costs like their left kidney and was made for 30p. not to mention the fact that it will go out of season in about 5 days and they will be forced to buy new, more "trendy" clothes, while the purchase they made literally a week ago sits in their closet and collects dust.

i am also slightly disappointed to admit that i have been a slave to consumer culture many times in my life, because those fuckers know exactly what to do to make you buy what they're selling. teenage girls are so vulnerable in this time of our lives, because our view of ourselves is still forming and the media preys on our insecurities to make us feel like we won't be considered "pretty" until we buy the latest beauty product. so you buy it, hoping that it will solve all of your problems and finally make you feel better about yourself, when another one of your features is called "ugly" by the media. luckily, there's another product that you can buy to fix this issue. the cycle repeats.

anyways, a couple months ago i learned the truth about shein. i'm gonna be honest, i bought things off shein when it had just become popular. yes, but now that the truth behind it has finally come out, i am officially a shein hater. please do not get me wrong, i completely understand that some people buy from them because their clothes are really cheap and they can't afford to buy from other more expensive stores. what i don't understand is the rich girlies who know about the problem with shein continuing to purchase 500 pounds worth of awful quality clothes and promoting it on tiktok. i'm not even gonna start on the people on tiktok making jokes about the child labor accusations that shein recieved a couple of months ago...

last point is probably gonna get me attacked but i cannot stand the parachute pants trend. i feel like it's more about tiktok style though (currently the evisu stussy boys and the corset top cargos girls). everyone copies the style that is the most trendy right now and ends up looking like everybody else. not to mention the fact that the clothes they just bought are literally a microtrend and are gonna go out of style in a month. this also contributes to overconsumption...

ok im done ranting i feel like a hater

goodnight

[snallavanta]

ok i'm done ranting about my spotify wrapped goodnight
