#party discourse

[irenespring]

Today I would like to shout out that one random Twitter person who made up that JD Vance bragged about fucking a couch.

Imagine making a random shitpost and less than two months later your joke is being used by a major party nominee for Vice President on live television at his introduction rally, earning him thunderous applause.

That poster must be having quite the experience.

actually i still think it’s crazy that orym just said “no one here can guarantee that the actions they are proposing will not cause devastation on a cosmic scale, until we can then i am not interested in entertaining said proposals at all” and a lot of people went ohhhh my god. this guy is so annoying

my 'hottest' dc take is that dickbabs and dickkori are both interesting, complex ships which can be written to have one be endgame/one break up without reducing/mischaracterising any of the characters involved. It literally comes down to personal preference on which you like better. Can we stop fighting (and give babs and kori solo runs please)

It always totally baffled me how there could be people who, with complete sincerity, thought "awh, I can't vote for Bernie?...damn. guess I'm going Trump then." Because...yknow...they're literally the antithesis of one another lol.

HOWEVER...I just connected the dots recently:

They think Bernie is a centrist lmao.

They think the Democrats are the "radical far left," & that Bernie is the rational centrist guy. And their reasoning is "he's one of the biggest critics of democrats!"

Bernie is far left lmao. He's your scary socialist boogeyman. He's like almost all the fucking way on the other side of the spectrum as Trump. U.S. Democrats actually skew center-right on the political spectrum, when compared to other governments globally.

But they have no fucking fluency in political labels, & they don't talk to actual leftists (not liberals) who have LITERALLY BEEN CRITICIZING ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS FOREVER, so they assume Bernie must be the rational solution to these "radical leftists."

I'm sorry conservatives but if you like what Bernie was campaigning for, you liked leftist/socialist policy lol. I hate to be the one to break it to you. But I also love to because yall actually proved what I already suspected: most people, when you don't attach a political label or buzzword, want leftist policy.

If I had a nickel for every time the idea of shooting out one giant sperm has been proposed on a Dropout show this year, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's REALLY FUCKING WEIRD that it's happened twice.

I'm only halfway through the second phase of Predathos (which, to be clear is an incredible vibe for a bossfight, love a good head & hands/multitarget-same-entity boss) but I cannot shake the feeling of disappointment and just dissatisfaction I have had with this campaign that definitely started with Dusk/Yu, got followed up handily with the first Delilah/Sun Tree fight and then has been unfortunately reinforced with every discussion surrounding the Prime Deities since Hearthdell. This campaign is fascinating to pick apart, I have been really enjoying pulling apart why it isn't working compared to C1 or C2. But as much as I'm having fun dissecting where the worldbuilding has led to the current weaknesses in the gods' argument or reading other people's incisive commentary on the lack of personalities on the Ruby Vanguard's end, the "girlfailure" nonsense, etc etc, man do I wish this campaign was better than it is.

There are so many avenues of improvement -

Matt telling everyone to prep and write characters for this campaign instead of a C2-esque character-focused campaign.

Matt working religious organisations into the world properly.

The cast engaging with Marquet as a genuine location rather than set-dressing.

Otohan, Ozo and the rest of the Vanguard having more than "*insert snappy line here*" for their personalities.

No Delilah.

Bell's Hells having an iota of curiosity for anything outside of their own selves, including but not limited to: the gods, religious worship, the Elemental Titans and why they were sundered, how the people of Exandria feel about the gods, Vasselheim and its role in suppressing information about Predathos, Ludinus Da'Leth's plan and how it would still break the world if they did it in his place

I don't know why all of this fell into place in the way that it did, but it did. We can endlessly speculate why - the cast resting on their laurels after C2, not having enough time between the animated shows and Daggerheart and Candela Obscura and, and, and - but at the end of the day I really do hope that whatever form the final campaign wrap-up takes, they burn the damn questions asking the cast "what if the world was made of pudding and this character and this character kissed?" and instead pick questions that get them to introspect for a potential Campaign 4. Otherwise I don't know what will happen, but it sure as hell won't be Mighty Nein part 2: Issylra Boogaloo.

[mogamuncher]

I have lost the fucking plot.

ahem

[tevanbuckley]

the take that tommy doesn’t care about buck because he didn’t dress up is proof some of y’all don’t understand how adult relationships work.

There’s something so juvenile (which sounds mean but idk how else to word it) about focusing on the lack of costume and not the fact tommy showed up whilst on call, unable to drink, already a little tired and knowing he might have to go *fight a fire* at any moment, all for a guy he’s been on ~1.5 dates with!

Never mind that he showed up to the hospital covered in soot after spending god knows how long working.

I'm not going to harp much on That Guy or his defenders, because it won't accomplish much, and rage bait is the only thing keeping him relevant in the year 2025.

But I can't help but laugh at the assertion that 20 and 16 isn't that significant of a difference in age or power, because what that tells me (setting aside the possibility of, hm... let's say, lying with nefarious intent) is that either A) you don't really talk to many people outside your age bracket, or B) you are so socially and emotionally stunted that of course you wouldn't perceive a difference, because those children genuinely are more mature than you are.

A little known disadvantage of living on the opposite side of america is that when dream decides to have a public crashout in the unholy hours of floridan morning it is 1pm afternoon for you and no one else is online to share that mental anguish
