Whenever people who are entrenched in diet culture talk about how terrible chemicals are, I just want to whip out this:

#diet culture #diet culture tw #described images #image description in alt #'it's got CHEMICALS in it' and so do you! and me too! IT'S ALL CHEMICALS ALL THE WAY DOWN #instead of running from this world we must learn to embrace it #i'm not particularly angry at people who say this because it makes me think that they're incredibly invested in diet culture...#...i just don't want the whole 'food = bad' or 'bodies = bad' to go unchallenged...#...part of the reason why diet culture seems just as prevalent now (if not moreso) is partially because it isn't really...#...challenged or questioned without provocation. it's just assumed to be correct because it makes you 'feel in control'#when chemicals are bad you can control what chemicals you consume. it's individualistic and places the blame onto you for 'being good'#it places responsibility onto the person in such a way that it becomes impossible to fulfill #it isn't that i'm upset that people want to treat their bodies in a way they think is responsible...#...moreso that the *way* they go about it ensures that they're stuck in a cycle of self-blame and even self-hatred #because the METHOD is ineffective. not the desire to treat your body well #also the state of ohio looks stupid and i do Not respect it #it looks like a ball that is simultaneously deflated and over-inflated #also their state flag looks silly to me #it looks like the person who was making it fell asleep making it #i'm just clowning on ohio at this point. have never been to ohio but. are you guys okay

something i've been thinking about:

Wally is set up as a sort of "main character" by the whrp. he's said in the site's description of the show to have introduced the main theme/lesson of the day's episode, and then the rest of the neighbors join him on his escapades. but then we have our first glimpses of everyone's actual dynamics and characters through the audios and you look at Wally and its like

first of all, thats an npc. second, nearly everybody else has severe main character syndrome

but its fascinating how Wally is just kind of... There. he doesnt talk much. he doesnt contribute beyond a couple of lines. its more like he joins the others on their shenanigans. he fades into the background. he's off to the side while everyone else holds conversations & leads the moment

Wally, despite being described as Thee character, is borderline background.

& whats even more interesting, within his individual secret audio files and interactions - he's almost chatty. not only that but the way he talks is more confident and faster paced. he's taking initiative. he can be kinda pushy. when talking to the qa/whrp/Us, he acts more like the character his descriptions portray. he acts more like a person instead of a puppet waiting for his next cue

I cant tell if - when around the neighbors - his tepid milk behavior is a purposeful act or if he's masking. and if he's masking, is it deliberate or involuntary? and in regards to both, why is he acting so different? It could be tied to what he's trying to accomplish. if he's trying to "restore" Welcome Home, it would make sense for him to act as he does around the neighbors - he wouldnt want to clue them in that he knows so much more than he's letting on, would he?

but then that begs another train of thought - what if he isn't acting or masking? if there is a time discrepancy between Wally's interactions with the qa/whrp/Us & the more 'official' audios, that could explain the difference in behavior. we could be getting glimpses into "future" (read: current) Wally, who's had much more time to figure himself out since we can safely assume he started out as a blank slate. we could be seeing a more experienced Wally than the one seen with his friends.

of course that line of thinking loses some merit when considering the 14 "bug" audios. or it could lend to it... if we're seeing a more experienced Wally but his friends are only seeing what he allows them to. it's still him, just... a carefully curated version.

in general it could really tie into the themes of identity and change and being other, to me. when you're so different - or you feel so different - that you can't bring yourself to be your most authentic you around your friends. when you feel like you have to hold back and be who you think they expect you to be, or what would be most palatable. most normal. will they accept you as you really are? there's always the fear and terror that the people you consider closest to you won't. or when you're so scared of change that you'll shove down & lock away parts of yourself so that you can keep things as you are. because once they know you've changed, so will they. and really, do you want to even accept that you've changed? what if that's what scares you most of all - that you're different, you've metamorphosized, you can't go back to the way things were because you yourself are no longer the person you were before. there is no reversing this no matter how much you try or pretend

#its just so fascinating #the whrp: wally's The Guy!#wally (with his friends): the most lukewarm dude ever #then he's alone or alone with home and its like Hi My Name Is Wally Darling & Welcome To Jackass *off-tune guitar riff*#bbg has ✨problems✨#and like - im giving all of his stuff a re-listen to make sure im not misremembering or completely talking out of my ass #but his phone call? the way his VA is delivering the lines seems So fuckign different than in the shared audios #his tone is flatter. he sounds more sure of his words and himself. he Sounds like he's in control and knows it.#immediately going from that to a shared audio where he puts more inflection in his voice & doesnt talk much #and when he does talk its slow. meandering. his lines are more befitting of his audience surrogate role #which only makes me feel more like he's acting/masking (again: if that time discrepancy does indeed exist)#which - as someone who kinda compulsively masks around Literally Everyone no matter how much i want to Not - it kinda hits hard!#i suspect that he Is masking instead of acting. he's The Most Autism as we all know so it would more than fit #and that could add an extra layer if it's automatic and he can't turn it off. or if he doesn't want to turn it off #but also acting... a misplaced attempt to protect his friends and world? not feeling like he can share his 'true' self? augh #wally darling you make me unwell. i want to dissect you #wh speculation #welcome home speculation #homebogging #and then listening to his little record audios #he starts out talking like he does in the shared audios and then slowly gains confidence until he's speaking more like he does in the call #just. wally not being talkative in the neighborhood to the point where everyone's like 'yeah wally isnt much of a talker'#vs him chatting away to the qa/whrp/Us #of course it could be because he has to carry the entire conversation on his own #But. but. you can still carry a one sided conversation and be hesitant or awkward or um. missing the word rn but short-sentenced #brief? succinct? concise?#wally's fully trying to make conversation with someone he knows can't reply. which is interesting #so many ways to take that. well. three #maybe he doesnt feel listened to in his day to day life / he feels more comfortable and can relax / hes been alone for a long while #anyway there may be more ways to take this but this is all my tiny poppyseed brain can reach atm

We already got the Minecraft movie, it's called "Let's Actually Play Minecraft Again" by RT "Drift King" Game.

#occasional thoughts #minecraft #minecraft movie #rtgame #rtgame daniel #no but like in all seriousness #i think rt's playthrough truly captures the essence of minecraft #of setting goals because you want to #to do whatever you want in your world at your pace.#to take things slow. that you dont require efficiency if you dont want it #he does what he wants. he discovers things naturally. theres a wonder in that world #of learning how to live in the world instead of taking the world under your control #to slow down and to love. to experience. minecraft is not made just to find the best of the most efficient #but to be self-motivated to do whatever you want #rtgamecrowd #it got me so inspired i wrote a fucking prose poem for this playthrough #he took the time to love the world. to learn about it. and in turn. it loves him too

I’ve tried like 500 times to articulate my thoughts about nonwhite superman and how much that adds to his childhood of loneliness and every time I hit a stumbling block because the topic makes me too insane to think but please hold my hand and imagine this little boy trying to grow up in rural Kansas and being the only person he’s ever known who looks like he does. This little boy who never has a proper answer when people ask where he’s really from, and even once he knows the truth of himself he can never safely share it. Please imagine him fighting every single day to belong and never being able to no matter how hard he tries because people will always find something questionable in the very way he looks. A lot of the superman mythos is dependant on Clark’s ability to assimilate but when you take that away what is left?? He’s just a kid fighting so hard for a belonging he’ll never have a hope in hell of being handed. Oh it hurts my heart

#dc #supermanposting #sorry I genuinely ache about it #I know visibly brown Superman is a relatively common headcanon in dc fandom spaces so it gets me thinking abou #how that would change his story #especially in the comics where he isn’t told he’s adopted until the Kents need to explain to him what these power manifestations are…#this is also what my superman comic was about btw #I have so many ideas in my head about how his relationship to himself would change after moving to metropolis #and becoming superman #AND EVEN HOW THE PERCEPTION OF SUPERMAN WOULD CHANGE!!#Clark not being white adds an entire new layer to his need to remain nonthreatening enough for people to actually tolerate him #as well as the scapegoating he experiences when he’s declared foreign or out of control or threatening #and I think Clark’s ability to eventually relate to all the nonwhite and immigrant communities of metropolis would be what saves him #and saves his self esteem #there are so many beautiful people in the world just like you!!#if I had my way superman would be way more defined by his connection to marginalized communities #anyways sorry I have genuine pages of thoughts about nonwhite superman #please ask me about nonwhite Superman I love nonwhite superman #sorry I hope this all makes sense it’s very late at night

My favorite part of writing Lifeweaver is playing up his usual silly goofy funney guy act, then throwing in a “his family hasn’t talked to him in 10 years” or “every day he grapples with the knowledge that he could be killed at any moment and his creation used to usher in an ecological dystopia the likes of which we’ve never seen before”

#overwatch #lifeweaver #honestly what I love about him (of many things) is his moral greyness and his hubris #cause like. sure he wants to heal the world and all that #but he also knows full well what hells could be unleashed by a corporation getting hold of his ‘self-propagating biomass’#but he creates it anyway. because he can #and lbr you know there is zero chance that biolight will not eventually fall into wicked hands if Niran ‘gives it to the world’#once it’s out there he won’t be able to control who has it or what they do with it #so yeah. he knew all that entailed but he still wanted to play savior anyway #maybe to prove that he’s worth something - that his life is more than just a series of failures

How likely each hero is to immediately chase something they saw

#linked universe #the scale of chase from my other post #but this time with errybody #and not just a few of them #I tried to find panels where each link is smiling #it was surprisingly hard #If I had any sense of self-control I'd queue this #but no #as soon as I finish a thing I want to fling it into the world immediately for everyone to see #I'm hyperfixating on all the wrong things today #I'm supposed to be cleaning out my old house #so I can turn over the keys to my landlady #hyrule has dog brain #microsoft powerpoint my beloved #utlimate meme-making tool #and snipping tool

doubt ill ever finish this, but ghost and mosca yayyy

#sludge life #sludge life 2 #ghost sludge life #ghost #mosca #replayed sl2 today ohh what joyous fun #i really think ghost is such an interesting character when you pretend the player doesnt control them #because they are sooo apathetic to the people and world around them.#from the littering to feeding the necroshroom to the. Thing. and like there is no opportunity for them to interact with anyone ever.#as in they have no dialogue options #i also like the implication that they would have totally flown off with another plane if air traffic control wasnt down #but people still love them. like mosca slug big mud uzzi #THE WASHING MACHINE GIRL? click sick in general #like clearly people love them but on a surface level view they literally dgaf #but at the same time they do go out of their way to look for big mud. IDK im just rambling #they obviously have friends for a reason. but at the same time they did basically disappear in the good ending of the first game.#they seem to be pretty um. self centered maybe? idk how to word it better. one track mind and all that #my art

Transcript:

Phoenix: I can’t believe I let you talk me into going to this thing. Dawn: It’ll be fun, I promise. It’s time we get out of our bubble and be social. Besides, Atlas’ workmates are great, and Kiyoshi will be there too.

Phoenix: Are you sure it’s okay for me to go? I don’t think plus-ones usually get a plus-one. Dawn: It’ll be fine. I think technically you’re listed as Asher’s plus-one. Phoenix: Who’s Asher?

Dawn: He’s Atlas’ friend. He has the biggest crush on him but refuses to ask him out. Phoenix: Why? Dawn: He has a stupid rule about not dating people he works with. Phoenix: That’s probably smart. Dawn: Pfft, don’t act like you don’t miss working with me. Phoenix: Of course, I do. I miss spending my days with you. Dawn: Aww me too.

Phoenix: Guess we’ll just have to move in together to make up for it. Dawn: Whaaat? Are you serious? Phoenix: Depends on your answer. If it’s yes, then I’m serious. If no, then I’m joking. Dawn: [laughs] Well, there’s not enough room in this place for the both of us. Phoenix: True. My lease isn’t up for another three months, so I guess that gives you time to think it over. Dawn: Hm, okay.

Phoenix: You look incredible, by the way. Dawn: Thank you! Phoenix: Are you sure you don’t want to stay in tonight? I can think of some creative ways to get you out of that dress. Dawn: Later, I promise.

Dawn: Hi!! It’s so good to see you guys! This is my boyfriend, Pheonix. This is Asher and Lex. Asher: Ah, you must be my plus-one. Phoenix: That would be me. Asher: Well, it’s great to finally meet you. Phoenix: Yeah, you too.

Lex: I’m so happy you were able to make it! Dawn: Me too, it’s been too long. We’ll have to catch up soon. Lex: Yes, definitely!

Asher: Well, Dawn, since you’ve clearly stolen my date, where’s your brother hiding? Dawn: I’ll give you one guess. Asher: [laughs] How long did he last? Dawn: Oh, about twenty minutes. Asher: Impressive. I’m gonna go say hi.

Asher: How’d I know I’d find you here?
