#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

tired: ace is set for execution at marineford

wired: luffy is set for execution at marineford

inspired: sabo is set for execution at marineford

#like are you seeing what im seeing????#sabo gets set for execution and he doesn't think anyone will come #mainly bc he told them not to but then these two random pirates crash it and scream that he's their brrother????#the one with a whitebeard pirate is sobbing and strawhat luffy wailing #and there's no time to unpack this bc well the marines are after them and if he squints he can see koala on the horizon #and he wasnt expecting a second chance at life but every rev knows that you cant help the cause dead #also the sheer angst of ace a luffy finding out sabo is alive but only when he's set for execution #the race against time and when they do get there sabo looks at them like he has no clue who they are #portgas d ace #monkey d luffy #sabo #one piece #asl brothers

A Master’s Thesis for a university no less

-----

Yep, I’ve seen that!

at least that people got some dedication, I nearly died when I wrote mine but it wasn’t for shitposting so maybe that made it even more tedious lol

But I’d say, how can you even write a Thesis about something as empty as Fodlan? I think the writer mentionned how Supreme Leader didn’t attack civilians but... while we don’t see her do it, Ashe mentions they’re starving, Baldo’n’Waldi must come from somewhere (the experiments started in Remire, before the War, but obviously to be used for said war in, basically, Supreme Leader’s maternal territories!) and I guess the religious people fleeing the Empire or not bothering to send letters to their friends who don’t hear about them anymore since the war started must have been busy Zumba’ing with Rhea in the 5 stars Enbarr resort.

As someone from SPE (!) mentionned, the Fodlan games take explicit care not to have anyone seriously challenge her beliefs of criticise her, or give spotlight to her main, self-perceived, nemesis who... well, is either fridged, exists off-screen or gives infodumps before dying.

Which makes any discussion about a “Just War” completely moot - Watsonian wise, especially if you take Fodlan as this entity functionning under the Crust System - same, Doylist wise, with any comparisons with real world Conventions (iirc OP mentionned that one of they juries asked if taking a dragon prisoner could be considered a war crime or something like that lol) because, hey, it’s a video game basically centered around a gameplay mechanic of depleting a red unit’s HP bar by hitting them with a weapon.

This is basically a really good shitpost which shows a lot of dedication - and that’s the kind of stuff fandom thrives for (remember zigludo chan sama senpai’s wiki page?) !

but as a serious/discourse/meta piece...

It’s basically the same redshit 10k words, with a bit more formatting and no word limit.

I mean, I used the search engine for “nabatean” and found nothing, and I think you can’t valably discuss Supreme Leader’s motives, ignoring this

“You are a child of the goddess. You must not be allowed power over the people!“

part of her reasoning to fight against the Church.

Not wanting to give that chamber pot any credit, but if they sprout heinous arguments to support their fave, imo, it’s basically because even the members of that hellpit noticed Supreme Leader’s, uh, fondness for Nabateans as a species, and since she can’t do anything BaD or be wrong, it means the species are BaD.

#anon #submissions #redshit woes #fandom nonsense #you can't start to put theories like just war #without citing st thomas first #but also #completely eluding the racial segregation if not 'cleansing' removing crusts means #when it comes from Supreme Leader herself #and when her second is really to kill what is basically a mixed raced person if they dare to show more traits belonging to one race than #the other #oh well #it's just a redshit essay in thesis form #SPE being based when it comes to Fodlan is suprising lol

RB best be happy all Yuki said was that it was ridiculous because if I was in his position... It would be something akin to this:

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #yuki tsunoda #monza gp 2024 #can they be normal about yuki's radio for like two seconds?#he's held to a completely different standard when it comes to swearing #you'd swear he had pulled a seb and called directly told the race director fuck you

listen y’all need to have more trust in lewis and also more trust in charles. granted, ferrari is the variable we are all scared of here, but I do trust vassuer more than binotto and I don’t think either of these drivers would sign these deals with ferrari if they, or any of their trustworthy team, thought it was going to be bad for them.

#lewis isn’t signing to be some mid second driver and charles isn’t going to automatically get deprioritized #he’s just going to have to earn that priority which I have faith in him to fight for fairly anyways and I think he’d enjoy that challenge #against a fair competitor and seasoned champion like lewis #it may come as a surprise to some but drivers with their talent and level actually enjoy competition with others on the same wavelength #and I think if I were to accept charles being beaten by anyone it would be at lewis’ hands anyways AND vice versa #they have always produced spectacular but largely respectful moments when they race each other #maranello.txt #the fans and discouese and media WILL be horrendous #but honestly I think this could be something exciting for both of them??#they really did always seem like they enjoyed racing each other #and I genuinely want nothing more than for both of these drivers to enjoy racing again purely

daniel ricciardo representing me waking up this afternoon and scrolling the dash

#much love and light but why oh why are some of y’all so insistent on saying If this is daniel’s last race #girl in what universe are we in that lawson has somehow negotiated with red bull to have five races this season #number 1) i only expect that shit from the second coming of max verstappen and the apparent second coming of max verstappen (antonelli)#last i checked wasn’t lawson. so that rumour really affecting some of y’all is making me confused #can we just think for more than thirty seconds on how wild of a contract that would be #number 2) why again are we giving daniel last race rumours simply because apparently his family is there… like yah #half of australia probably attends the singapore grand prix because it’s the next closest GP #if every time daniel’s family attended a grand prix as an indication it’s his last race we would’ve been gone by monaco so #idk if it’s because i sat through The Horrors of McLaren but like we’re fine #the vibes are fine guys. no need to hit the retirement button. y’all. chill.#(but some of you are very incessant on hitting the retirement button so sure whatever)

I loved the new IDW Sonic issue! Too bad I know without looking that people are going to be stupid and awful about Lanolin 🫠

#i can already hear it now #''she was a bitch to jet she was acting like the fun police to him''#''she was a bitch to sonic (& tails & amy) by telling them to get off the road before they got run over by oncoming traffic''#was she mean in that second case? yeah her delivery was harsh. but was she also correct? yes #pedestrians shouldn't be on the road & vehicle racetracks count as roads #and the middle of a race isn't the time for a race ref to see if you're OK. just bc Tangle doesn't take her job seriously literally ever #doesn't mean that Lanolin doesn't. doesn't mean Lanolin was wrong in telling Team Sonic to get tf off the racetrack #when they were rendered pedestrians #but we know this fandom can't be normal abt women & esp not Lanolin so. i'm not even going to look at the tag #i know you all can't be trusted. smdh #''we want more nuanced female characters'' y'all can't even handle a sleep deprived sheep for fucksake #ETA: okay Tangle does take her job seriously SOMETIMES. on rare occasions #she was serious in the latter half of Tangle & Whisper as well as Metal Virus and latter half of Urban Warfare #but v often she doesn't take things seriously. here she def wasn't with being all OMG HI GUYS!!!!!!!!! mid race #i love her but girl come on. focus.

need y'all to realize tme doesn't mean transmasc. tme doesn't even mean afab (and the idea that tma people are attacking tme people for their agab is extremely transmisogynist) a cis man is tme. a cis woman is tme. transneutral people who are afab, amab, and intersex are mostly likely tme. intersex people can be tme or tma. tme just means Transmisogyny exempt. i'm tme. my parents are tme. You are just making it endlessly harder for tma people to talk about their oppression because you think every time they say tme they're attacking transmascs. maybe if you gave a fuck about tma people you wouldn't nitpick their language. just saying.

edit: an anon (rudely) pointed out that cis black women and gnc men are also affected by transmisogyny at times. i didn't mean to exclude them and i think it's important to note that people who are not transfem or intersex can be affected as well. regardless, it's even more important to acknowledge that the terms were made by and for transfems, and not to push them aside for cis people who are sometimes tma.

#transmisogyny #ideal.txt #when i first heard the terms i was also confused and thought it was just a fancy new way of saying afab/amab #but it isnt!#if u put more than two seconds of thought into it you realize its just a tool to talk abt transmisogyny!#if you hate the terms you need to examine why exactly its a problem for you for it to be easier for tma people to talk about #their oppression #i understand if u dont want to put “tme” in your bio. if it feels too much like “afab” to you. i dont like it in my bio either #so i just put transmasc so ppl know im tme anyway!!#and if youre not talking abt transmisogyny or trans topics as a whole then you really dont need it #but if you are its important for people. especially tma people.#to know if your posts are coming from someone who is affected by transmisogyny #it changes the conversation. some things are different to hear from a tma person than a tme person #just like if youre talking about race its best to clarify if you are not someone affected by racism #if i as a white person make a post abt racial topics its very important to anyone reading to know that that is not something #that i have any firsthand experience with. and the way i talk abt things like that would obvious be affected.#anyway sorry for ranting i know this post has definitely been made 500 times before but im very annoyed #tme/tma

I think white trans people only identify with their trans identity and so when you criticize them they think it’s an attack on their transness as whole when that’s just not the case

#rants n rambles #I think white queers in general don’t know how to separate their queer identity from themselves at times and that’s what leads them to only #consume queer stuff which isn’t bad at all but #it makes them look at life through one lense #for example #someone said on a post about James Baldwin “omg I didn’t know he was queer!!!” when in reality he was much more than that #he was a black man #and he was a gay man #because race comes first. it always has thanks to white people #but white queers don’t understand that #that second tag isn’t quite right. they only consume queer stuff because that’s the only “relatable” thing to them #lgbtq community #trans community

My niche Keith Kogane headcanon is that "Thief" by Imagine Dragons from the Smoke + Mirrors (Deluxe) album is HIS song, no if ands or buts, it just screams mullet emo 'delinquent' in the desert bonus with space motifs. If you told me it was written by the angsty fuck himself I'd totally believe you lmao
