brennan lee mulligan creating an npc who is a man: how can i make this character either an awful asshole or super pathetic (or both)?

brennan lee mulligan creating an npc who is a woman: how can i make this character every sapphic person’s wet dream?

brennan lee mulligan creating an npc who is a literal god: this character is non-binary and you can’t stop me

#and i rly appreciate that about him #i love that any time ally’s character has a relationship with a god/godlike character the god is non-binary #like cassandra? nod? non-binary icons #and the characters are all nuanced #but also all the women are SO HOT #and most of the men are… something else #they’re all so good #he’s a great dm #this is not the rule it’s just an observation #dimension 20 #d20 #brennan lee mulligan

I don’t usually make posts like this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-intellectual junk lately, and I really think we need to put the word “pretentious” up on a shelf until people learn what it actually means.

It doesn’t describe someone who likes artsy-fartsy deep meaning media. People who are pretentious are fake. They’re posers trying to be sophisticated and unique, not like other girls. They pretend to only like stuff they think will make them sound cool when they talk about it. They want to act like they know something you don’t, and they want attention for it.

By definition, if you genuinely enjoy something, you can’t be pretentious. If it resonates with you, and you analyze it, and you don’t care what people think, that’s the polar opposite, actually. If you love obscure experimental prog music, if you watch underground high concept indie films through English teacher eyes, if you spend hours in a modern art museum reading each piece as a vessel for storytelling, if your backpack’s full of poetry books that inspire you, if you play underrated games that were someone’s passion project, if you have an interest in studying the classics or the masters, you are not pretentious.

Of course, some people just don’t like some stuff, and that’s fine, but that’s not what this is about. Don’t let anti-intellectuals shame you for enjoying things just because your interests are inaccessible to them, because they refuse to be brave and put effort into critical thinking. You’re not stuck up for refusing to overlook the craft of artists.

#anti intellectualism #media #movies #books #music #critical thinking #my friend who primarily listens to one very popular band once said that people who listen to obscure music are annoying and pretentious #which rubbed me the wrong way because 1 she knows that I listen to obscure music and 2 it’s such a cowardly consumerist take. anyone can #make music and hey a lot of the people who do make GOOD music. and this goes for all *obscure* media #this post was mostly inspired by people talking about Barbie and those anti pick me girls like the pick nobody girls who insist thinking is #for boys and having fun with an empty brain is for girls. Greta gerwig is an artist. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I know it has a deeper #message than haha cute pink! I’ve seen the summaries about the true meaning. the pinkness and popularity doesn’t negate the narritive.#though in the notes I saw a lot of tumblristas comunistas shitting on the film for being one big ad that people *fell for* which tbh is #tbh almost as anti-intellectual. don’t get me wrong they milked this film to sell hella shit but I don’t believe kids who play with dolls #are the target audience as these people claim. Barbie is a culturally iconic symbol almost archetypical of societal expectations for women #you say barbie people think unblinking perfect plastic pink girly. reminds me of the poem The Last Mojave Indian Barbie. yeah yeah you all #hate brands but this one carries undeniable significance and makes for a powerful literary device. it’s been used many times before #sorry for writing a tag essay about a film I haven’t even seen but I’m tired of internet people focusing so much on proving others wrong #that they end up oversimplifying everything just as much as the other person. god I saw people doing this to Nimona saying transphobes were #looking too deep into her character and they’re reactionary clowns for making that jump. like for once the transphobes are right. she is #trans. it’s a queer story. and irl the first people who notice queerness are the bigots who can tell you’re different. sick owns telling #them the story’s not that deep is harmful and it’s like they’re ignoring the real message on purpose. okay enough rambling hehe! thanks #barbie #nimona

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved)#but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!!#the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul.#the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however.#‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together.#such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :)#god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

wait wait wait wait. wait a whole damn minute. are people actually, unironically, seriously saying that good omens is queerbaiting???? even AFTER season 2??

DID WE WATCH THE SAME SHOW AND READ THE SAME BOOK?!??

#two male actors kissed on the lips on screen for multiple seconds #aziraphale is described as extremely gay in the book #anathema isn’t scared of azi and crowley because she thinks they’re a campy gay couple #they’re sexless beings AKA ace #theyre not men because they don’t subscribe to human notions of gender #AKA THEYRE ENBY ICONS #like all this shit is canon how are people saying good omens is queerbaiting??#i’m genuinely so confused #good omens #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #good omens 2 #good omens is queer

Donnie and Mikey is such a good dynamic bc together their power is unmatched and they seamlessly feed off each other

#rottmnt #mikey rottmnt #donnie rottmnt #like they convinced repo mantis to give up his junk yard for a suitcase of wet cat food #all of their adventures are iconic bc they’re on the same brainwave #proof that science and art are good brothers 💞

#I tried to get Cross and Hunter to touch helmets I swear #this was as close as they could get with Omega between them 🥲#anyway spoilers for the end of the show I guess lololol #THIS WILL HAPPEN OK #I’m legit ready to repaint my Cross figure y’all #cause there ain’t no way they’re coming out with another one #unless he has an outfit change later in the season #I still need to get the rest of the season 2 figures; I only have Hunter rn #once I get them all I’ll swap them with these figures #this is good enough for now 🥰#my dark and broody bandana man #my tiny sunshine daughter #Mr Snarky Sniper #Muscles™️#Goggles™️#Mr Iconic One Liner #Captain BAMF #star warz

lyrics: all my mistakes are a work of art / love letters aimed straight for the heart / should i let them / teach me how to fall apart / it gets better when you get on top and show me how it works / i could never be your kind of flirt / tell me that you’re falling out of love / cause i could never be your kind of drug / love me til the morning cause it hurts to be the one that’s headed for the / curb your appetite and drink your tea with herbs / helps if you just believe it does / tell me all your secrets and i’ll leave you in the morning / help me fight my demons and i’ll love you without warning / sick of sitting pretty in my pearls / thinking i could ever be your girl / do you even notice when i’m gone? / the thought of you, it keeps me up til dawn / waiting, wishing, wanting for your love / but don’t think i could ever be enough / to satisfy your raging taste for blood / but maybe that’s just the way we love / tell me all your secrets and i’ll leave you in the morning / help me fight my demons and i’ll love you without warning / i’ve been waiting so long for someone like you to come / i thought i’d found the answer to all of my lonely nights / coming down, have i reached the ground?have i reached the ground? have i reached the ground?

i’m obsessed with this song rn listening to it on repeat so just thought i’d share

#help me fight my demons and i’ll love you without warning!!!!#(unfortunately discovering a pattern in my ex’s life where he just kind of. delves for people’s traumas as a default #and he’s like a normal fucking well adjusted person with a good childhood. so it’s not like we’re even reciprocally trauma bonding it’s like #he just fucking GETS THE STORIES out of people. stupid fucking journalism major)#(disclaimer i LOVE journalism majors!!!! it’s a really admirable pursuit. it just makes me uncomfortable how he sees people as. content??)#so not ALL journalism majors. just ones who get close with you learn all your secrets and then break up with you when they’re tired of it #ANYWAY MOVING ON i’m just obsessed with this song in general. the lyrics are iconic i love the beat and it’s what i want to make music like #and it’s so beautiful and i love it so much #me. my post. mine.#music

A “Dance Moms” style documentary but it just takes place at South Park Elementary. They don’t have any talent or desire to be there, they’re just trying to make it through elementary school. The only difference is the editing and the Moms of the show will not stop fighting like in “Turd Burglars”. Garrison is Abby Lee.

#south park #dance moms #thank you for coming to my TED talk #also Clyde gets no screen time because his mom isn’t intresting (dead)#like he’s in the background and clearly involved in the story but they cut all this lines #I love Dance Moms #It’s funnier if they’re fictional because you don’t have to feel really bad for the kids #I would kill to see this it would be really good #it’s like ‘Behind the Laugh’ from the Simpsons but a little less meta #but still iconic #it has to be in the exact same style #I would love it #please hire me as a writer for the show (/sarcasm)

“Not all men—” you’re right, my good friend Jonathan Harker would never do this.

#I’m obsessed with the fact that he’s like ‘the vampire women aren’t actually women because they’re EVIL and women are not .#and then he gives his fiancée as an example 🥺#jonathan ‘my girlfriend is a gift to the world and the sisters aren’t fit to even be called the same gender as her’ Harker #he’s a king he’s an icon he’s a scrunkly boy and I love him #ghost posts from their box #dracula daily #dracula #dracula memes #jonathan harker #my good friend jonathan harker #dracula daily memes #classic literature #gothic literature
