ppl sometimes say to me "u think you're always right" and i sit there confused because yes? i usually AM right. because i have researched the topic more than you, and i have thought through both arguments and counterarguments before speaking up. moreover, my anxiety and fear of being misunderstood simply doesn't let me speak anything out loud which i haven't thought 150% through. so technically yes, i am more right? i don't understand what's the problem? i'm not talking about my personal opinion though? i'm just stating the facts? and the facts tend to be something that's "right"? don't they?
#like please#just engage in a proper discussion w me if u want to share what u know and what u have researched#i also don't understand how i talk about history facts or political ideas and ppl are like 'these are just your beliefs'#and i have to explain how there actually exists a sort of objective reality#and that political views and moral values are not really equal to 'personal beliefs' that are the sort of 'oh i think pineapple on pizza#is the most delicious food'#how are these the same#ppl who don't like pineapple on pizza aren't oppressed#and it makes me so genuinely frustrated#i realize each person sees the world differently but that's why we have science and the sort – bc humanity is trying to reach some more#objective pov#that's why we have 'big words' that mean some specific thing and we define those words via dictionaries#while our explanations of 'objective reality' are still flawed (bc everything is mostly just plausible guesses) i still think it's better t#try and define it#and try and come to agreements on things of what certain things mean#idk even if the 'objective reality' can't exist isn't it still better to pretend to have one? bc if u only think how#'everyone has their own reality' and that's the answer/explanation u say to anything happening in society that u don't understand#or that u think is wrong#i feel like such skepticism makes ppl prone to not having hope in a better world#and i think that hope is soso important to have bc it's what drives the activism#just a big rant....i have many feelings ...#i don't understand how some ppl don't have such sense of justice like it's literally a separate feeling#; words generated by me#actually autistic

Inspired by some other polls that have been going around lately, I'm trying to see something:
#polls#I'm deliberately not giving a specific dollar amount because it seems like every time you try to define 'enough money' vs 'a lot of money'#it starts the kind of argument I'm not looking to have here#Just. Mentally fill in whatever you think the appropriate number is and go from there

Ok, so I know we make a lot of jokes about how gay the Trojans are, but after reading tgr… that’s totally on purpose
There’s a reason that Rhemman respects Wymack so much, and it’s that they’re doing the same thing. Where Wymack has made a team that’s a haven for kids who need a second chance, Rhemman has made one that’s a safe space for queer athletes.
Rhemman’s quieter about it, in part because he can be, and in part for the safety of his kids, but it’s the same thing Wymack’s doing. And while he might not be as outspoken about it, he’s absolutely putting out the signals for those who might need to know. Just look at who his captains are. Jeremy, who’s had a lot of attention for being unsubtly gay. And Xavier, a trans man who has transitioned while vice-captain and isn’t trying to hide it.
And if his two captains weren’t a loud enough signal that his team was a safe space, you have the team’s reputation. They’re known for being nice to everyone. Anyone who joins this team knows what standards they’re going to be held to and can guess that bullying won’t be tolerated within the team. More than that, the team’s reputation doesn’t just mean safety at home, it also acts as a shield for its players. It’s well established that almost no one beefs with the Trojans and going after one of their players is a taboo. (Yes Jean is the exception here, but the more entrenched in the team he gets the more it’ll be true for him too).
Rhemman has gone out of his way to make a space as safe as possible for queer athletes. And for those who need it, he’ll show them it’s possible to live a happy fulfilled life by modeling it for them. Rhemman and Wymack are two sides of the same coin.
#these two men are trying so hard to show their circumstances don’t define them#they’re trying so hard to help the next generation#and I love them so much for it#they may have distinctly different attitudes#but they’re the same#fathers#they deserve the world#david wymack#james rhemann#tgr spoilers#the golden raven spoilers#the golden raven#tgr#screaming from a rooftop

When in doubt, Soup it out.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#a-yuan.#wei wuxian#Yes I am skipping over LWJ's panic at WWX joking about giving birth to A-Yuan. It's funny bit but there are many more to come!#The last time these two sat down together the tensions were so high. The peace is nothing more than a layer of cold fat on the surface.#It's not 'really' them coming to see eye to eye. It's them not having the energy to say what they really want anymore.#LWJ is very defined by his jealousy and the conflict it creates with his need to put his feelings aside for the perceived greater good.#To live a life where you are always second and never ever allowing yourself to be first...#If other people can be at peace and happy - it has to be worth it right?#If he orders a plate of food that he will struggle to eat but is the favourite thing of the person sitting across from him#Is it not worth the sacrifice?#But remember! You can't take anything for yourself ever. No matter how much you want it.#He did it once before and he regrets it so much. So all he can do is accommodate.#And WWX? Well. You can't let anyone in if there isn't enough water to splash around in.#Keep things shallow and they just move on. Even if you'll miss them when they go - this is just how things are now.#No more teasing and trying to pull a reaction from LWJ anymore. You'll never be more than someone he can't stand so what's the point.

'some zoos pair their cheetahs up with dogs' is one of the worst things to have ever blown up on tumblr
#people are woobifying cheetahs now. actually they have been for years but i've been seeing it a lot recently#“cheetahs aren't actually big cats!” big cats are paraphyletic group; yes they are#“cheetahs are too nervous to breed with each other and that's why they're going extinct”#cheetahs in the wild can breed just fine#nervousness resulting in reluctance to breed is an issue with specific individual captive cheetahs not all cheetahs ever#“they get service dogs” they're not service dogs#“cheetahs have anxiety” cheetahs can't get anxiety; they're animals#the “cheetahs aren't big cats” thing screws with me the most because people always try to define “big cat” as “cat that can roar”#and then they make that synonymous with the panthera genus and say that only panthera cats are big cats because all of the panthera cats#are the only cats that can roar#but by their own definition they are wrong#because snow leopards are panthera and can't roar

everybody wants to be a tranny. and it's always the people who most desperately want to be a tranny who could never ever handle actually being a tranny.

modern media literacy is so cooked like what do you mean you gave saltburn a .5 star rating because it wasn’t the class consciousness film you wanted that’s not what the fucking movie is about… ‘they made it hard to keep rooting for him and identifying with him’ idk maybe don’t project onto every character in media you come across & then get scared when they act in a way you wouldn’t
#like not everything is superhero vs villian#not everything is defined as a good vs evil#morally grey characters exist and you guys just keep proving you cant handle them#like for the love of GOD!!!!!!!#watch the movie as it is and stop fucking trying to make everything something you want it to be#i could go on and on but#saltburn#rambles#random#movies

crazy seeing rightwing people calling the barbie movie anti-men considering i’m pretty sure the “i’m just ken” song did more good for men’s mental health than any number of their shitty little incel forums combined
#not su /#genuine banger telling men not to define their worth by having a gf or trying to dominate others#and they still can’t handle the movie quipping about the state of gender relations by saying kens will one day be as important in society#as women today (which is an excellent prompt for people to realize how unequal the world still is and be unsettled but people still don’t#get it) and it’s just. So revealing that you can’t handle being treated like you’re not the center of the world for 5 seconds#barbie movie#barbie#barbie 2023

Thank GOD for those new promo pics.... I've always said this was the way I picture Aziraphale in modern day if he'd been the demon instead, and now I have the perfect angel!Crowley to match!
#no offense to anyone with other headcanons#but i always find reverse omens to be way too ooc for me#not bc aziraphale is a demon and crowley is an angel that makes total sense#but making crowley an innocent lil bean and aziraphale a scruffy badass just kinda....#idk i feel like you don't have to change their inherent them-ness just bc they're reversed#esp bc the point is that they're so similar in so many ways and what they are doesn't define who they are#ANYWAY all that to say aziraphale would still be stuffy and old-fashioned and prissy and soft#and crowley would still try to be the coolest mfer alive and both succeed and fail bc he's actually a huge lovesick dork#and these pics captures that aesthetic in my head SO perfectly#(also bonus headcanon that instead of getting snake eyes aziraphale's hair darkens along with his wings to symbolize his fall from grace)#good omens#reverse omens#Aziraphale#crowley#ineffable husbands#aziracrow#gomens#angel crowley#demon aziraphale#passengers 2016#rivals 2024#david tennant#michael sheen

Testing out a new pen and giving Hush new problems! Due to the stress of her upbringing, Hush has a tendency to mentally blot out the faces of others around her. Only those she cares about or those who seem to be not a threat/of interest get a face in her mind.
If it has no face, it is a monster. And monsters can be defeated.
She doesn't want to think about the reality of her station, or the fact that it is not a monster than haunts her, but a mech of great power.
#transformers#maccadam#digital art#fan art#transformers oc#transformers one#hush of iacon#sentinel prime#oc lore#This is slightly new lore but I think it fits her character#she is a character defined by what she is able and willing to see#why wouldn't she try to not view the things she doesn't want to be around?#sight is her weapon#and it is also the one thing she really controls#lol no clue if my thoughts are thoughting right but Hush has problems

all the alien babies in strangetown super had me wanting to jump into a casual little personal save, which is, in a move that is very circa 2004 of me, another alphabet legacy — truly found my groove twenty years ago and never learned to play another way. not planning on posting her on the regular, but this is alfie moon my sweet space cadet :-)
#when i say that i mean it. have only ever played alphabet legacy style if not playing rotationally my brain is wired funky lmao#and when i say legacy style it's never by super defined rules or anything#mostly just starting out with $800#no cheats#whims/wants based as possible#and each generation has to marry/partner/procreate with their matched initial to bring in the next initial#also always move the new heir into a new lot so as to populate the hoods with fun builds#and split the money from the previous gen between all remaining members so the money doesn't get too wild#sometimes also try to do it where every gen has one additional baby. like a has one b has two c has three etc etc#but have never gotten further than g i think#ts4#simblr#alphabetacy save

Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.
What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.
What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...
What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..
Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself
#to be hero x#tbhx#hero x#considering one of the first things they revealed to us in the trailers was that he's a white-collar worker...#we definitely need to think about that if we wanna try to predict / guess what he's actually like#this thing feels very lin ling coded but lin ling is tbhx coded (introduction to the main themes of the show)#so I feel like my best prediction rn is that he's actually the other side of the same damn coin#(cue the coin flip clip from the opening *coughs*)#I think from a writing perspective the whole downside thing is based on a characters perception#so if the writers make us think that X is an omnipresent all powerful god#then it just makes sense to reverse it by revealing that the opposite is equally as true#and then he'd have an even stronger incentive to want to break the system cuz both of his lives would've been defined by exploitation#maybe not the bright side of X (at least not after he became No. 1) but I don't think being the best product makes him no longer a product#ACTUALLY#“bright side” was supposed to refer to his hero identity bc of the black & white switch he has going on but#yeah calling his normal self the “dark side of X” would definitely reinforce the idea that it's the not so good parts he hides#and we've not much of normal X yet (other than his sugar stealing. you go boy exploit the company back for sugar. I believe in you) but!#we all know there's darker times coming. right.#I don't think they're gonna reveal his normal life to have a sad backstory or Idk (there's gonna be enough of that elsewhere anyways haha)#but we've definitely only seen the top of the iceberg for now#btw yes I do think capitalism & the CEOs are gonna be the real villains#and X is probably playing their game to win#yes all along you were reading my “X is actually anti-capitalist” propaganda#we're gonna go free heroes (at a cost) :))#ice demon talks#tbhx theories#tbhx analysis
