Any storyteller at all: Do you want to hear a story about a guy who was never meant to be king, but ended up having to take the throne? And it was hard.
Me: Oooooooh?
The storyteller: And not just hard in itself - there was sinister plotting beneath the surface, and interpersonal stuff was complicated too.
Me: Oooooooooh!

I hope yall watching the World Cup shenanigans on TikTok
Because it’s glorious.
Like it’s such a breath of CLEAN, FRESH air when you watch something through channels that aren’t completely defiled to hell and back by hypocritical and racist western media.
Just simply, watching the people have the time of their lives, exploring a new culture, trying to speak each other’s languages, learning each other’s dances, etc. just fills me with so much hope and joy.
I have to limit my use of the app so it doesn’t take over my life BUT THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE FUNNIEST AND LOVIELIEST THINGS I SAW:
JungKookie and the Kookies (BTS)
Foreigners discovering Arabian beauty up close? Like so many people are falling in love with the Qatari artist Fahad Al-Kubaisi
Saudian fan reactions going absolutely BONKERS, [2]
The #WhereIsMessiGuy. Some people find him annoying. Others find him hilarious. He keeps crashing news reports. You be the judge
Amazing mishmash of dances from different cultures after matches.
Fans trying to talk to each other and obviously not understanding anything the other is saying and resigning to signing is one of the funniest things I’ve seen this week
The guy casually telling his boss he won’t be in for work the next day on TV and the journalist losing it
Saudians and Japanese sword/katana fighting each other in the street
The Saudian and Japanese wins spurred a million memes of pure hilarity. Oh, and everyone wants a Saudia / Japan final showdown. Anime Style!
The fact that middle eastern fans are tagging the Japanese team ‘The Grandchildren of Captain Tsubasa’ sent me
The Sassy Prince becoming an internet celebrity overnight. I feel bad about this one tho. I hope the kid’s ok and keeps his privacy. Chinese fans are literally drawing fanart of him
Men being super invested in the traditional Qatari garb and headgear is super cool. So many reels of foreigners learning how to wear it properly and walking around with it through the city
THE LATIN AMERICAN FANS ARE ABSOLUTE DARLINGS
SO ARE THE ASIAN FANS.
AFRICAN, ASIAN and LATIN AMERICAN FANS ARE GETTING ALONG AMAZINGLY. SO GOOD TOGETHER IN SPITE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER!
THE BRAZILIANS ARE HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES. Oh, and they ‘kidnapped’ an Arabian reporter while celebrating. He was taken away on their shoulders, laughing his head off
Closeup of a player waving to his fans. Grown men becoming 5 again and waving back so joyfully <3
Roleplaying in the streets
The endearing videos of tourists walking around Doha at 2:00am, marveling at the safety and peace of the city. It’s true, Qatar is extremely safe even late at night
Egyptian memes living vicariously through Saudia coz we weren’t eligible this time
People taking videos of the public bathrooms and clean and LUXUROIUSLY DESIGNED they are. LISTEN THE BATHROOMS LOOKED LIKE A 7-STAR HOTEL BATHROOM WHAT
#IsraelLeftOnReadIRL tag. A lot of reports of people from various countries refusing to do interviews with Israeli news reporters just further proves that governments do not really mirror the true sentiment of the individual. Governments strive to maintain diplomatic relations, but I have so much respect for based individuals who don’t sell out on their personal morals
(I’m aware that because of how TikTok works geographically, a lotta people on the western side of the world may not be getting a lot of this stuff. If you’d like me to send some your way, just let me know and I can share through my TikTok.)

It's really, really annoying when non-gangster focused but crime adjacent media, or media invoking organized crime tropes, decides to put in a second string mook who's a big, kinda of slow, cheerful thug with a wide chest and a nice smile, who looks great in a hat and suspenders.
Because I will immediately fall in love with him, and the media also immediately kills him off. 😭😭😭

Maybe it's because I've been watching dramas for more than a decade which is why I'm noticing these changes so clearly, but when did we go from a love story is two people falling in love and making equal strides towards each other with effort and sacrifice to a love story is a man making all the compromises and the grand gestures and declarations while the woman almost feels like a bystander in her own relationship. It's been happening for the last couple of years but this year takes the cake and I'm confused as to whether this is some sort of shoddy attempt at feminism by way of "a woman can do no wrong and a man is required to do all the heavy lifting in a heterosexual relationship" .

Troupe au where kid becomes the world's greatest villain, but because they use their cuteness and innocent look to get what they want. Hero adopts them and they become the cute kid who's a villain.
I’ve been staring at this for a while and now:
Izuku who goes back in time and becomes a hard core villain as a fuck you to everyone because his future had all his friends die NOT because of Shigaraki but because of society turning on them thanks to the remainder of the Commission.
Izuku runs the underground and torments Shigaraki and AFO along with the Commission. It ends up with Izuku getting caught by Nezu, who decides this is hilarious and leaves him be.
Then Inko dies and Nezu might you know, arrange for Izuku to be taken in by a hero.
And who else but Aizawa?
