Some more advice for fellow adults: set your ego aside and let younger people (even kids!) educate and teach you. There is no shame in looking to a younger person for education and knowledge. It is, actually, a big facet of humanity that we teach each other - why, then, does that teacher need to be the Right Age in order for you to be willing to learn from them?

Telekinetic with ADHD surrounded by a debris halo of assorted small objects they've levitated around their head in order to have handy, but have since stopped seeing.

Liam (about Orym during this week's 4 Sided Dive) said:
"he's just a sorta average guy trying to do right"
"he can't do anything except for run and jump"
"he really felt like a failure"
Matt, in response:
gave Orym a memory of Will's presence
gifted him a brand new magical weapon that he gets to name himself
did both of these things through the Wildmother herself
Matthew Mercer heard that Orym was feeling downtrodden and lesser and went this is not allowed, and I for one thank him for it even though it is destroying me on the inside—

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

Tim had his spleen removed, right. This means he would not be able to withstand bacterial infection as well (a.k.a. getting sick, which happens a lot when people get injured or sleep deprived cause their immune system weakens), so for his own safety, he would likely take care of himself more than the other bats would care for themselves. He probably wouldn't get in a fight he knows he would badly lose, or win but get very injured during. Tim would be the calm and calculating one. He already is deemed as smart and a great detective, so that makes him even scarier.
He gets a reputation as a vigilant far more dangerous from his siblings, cause he perches like a bird above the fight, but if he gets involved, then the villains know they're goners. If it's Dick, Jason, Steph, Cass, even Damian and Batman himself, people don't get as intimidated, but should Tim come in, they back off so fast. In this essay I will...

I don't normally like to get involved in any discourse surrounding Pedro. I certainly never start any, but I've held my tongue long enough.
How dare people take this naturally beautiful, sunshine filled man....
....and give him outfits and hair products and tell him to do The Look™️.....
....and make us all feral.
You should all be ashamed (don't stop though) making him flaunt his arms like that (do it again, please, and thank you) and doing those poses (the mattress one, thank you). Shame on you all (that you don't release all the photos)!

Seeing a lot of comparisons between vaultghoul and reylo and:
Listen, ship your ships; that's the tumblr way, and I'm not here to judge you
But for me, that's bullshit.
I personally checked out of the star wars films when it was clear finnrey was being shelved in favor of reylo
Because finnrey had the chemistry, and I could feel that reylo was being forced. I could tell from the writing. I could tell from the acting. I could tell from the interviews.
Such is not the case with vaultghoul. Is it a slightly fucked up ship? Yeah, but we're all freaks here.
The chemistry is there. It was there from the jump. It's easily perceived in every scene, and none of it feels forced.
That doesn't mean vaultknight doesn't fit; their smiles are sunshine. Their heart-eyes are sweet as apple pie. I'm not mad about it, but the chemistry just doesn't quite seep through the screen as easily.
Instead, I found myself yelling "DO YOU NOT SEE THE WAY THEY'RE LOOKING AT YOU?" every time Max had a scene with Dane.
This is a ramble, but what I'm saying is: chemistry in media is a thing, and everyone perceives it differently. I didn't get reylo. And I don't see vaultghoul as a second-coming of that ship.
It's its own thing, in its own fucked up little way. And it's fun.

I love how Erwin makes self inserters insecure lolol The fact that you guys have to clutch your pearls makes it very funny. It must be hard imagining a man like Levi with you when everyone, even locals talk about his relationship with Erwin😭 Please you guys should stop being jealous of a fictional Blondie lol
Clutch to pearls? You mean just simply explaning the events of canon? Oh right! Of course that's a foreign concept to you anon, I forgot that canon ruffles your feathers because you have nothing within it to support your ship. 😬
I don't know where you live anon, the locals were Iive talk about Levi and his character but that's probably because I actually go outside and have relationships irl too. 🤷🏼♀️

So... quick update on the Eurovision situation
The EBU decided that Israel can compete despite their country being under an active Genocide investigation by the ICJ. Their delegation have gone on to antagonise other contestants by filming them for their social media without permission and refusing to remove it when asked, harass journalists who have questioned if their inclusion is appropriate, and their commentators have made horrendous comments about the Irish contestant... all without sanction.
Meanwhile the Dutch contestant got into an undisclosed 'incident' with a female member of the production crew and they've referred it to the police and flat out disqualified him from the contest with less than 12 hours notice...
Which seems like a tremendous act of double standards at an event that is already marred by serious controversy. Obviously the second is not acceptable, but very difficult to understand how the first somehow... is?
