Happy disability pride to everyone whose disability makes it hard/impossible for them to leave the house.
Happy disability pride to everyone who WANTS to do something they love, but can't because of their disability.
Happy disability pride to everyone who has ever been ignored, side-eyed or scoffed at (or otherwise judged) for being themselves in public.
Happy disability pride to people in constant pain, that doesn't end or break.
Happy disability pride to people who can't/don't want an official diagnosis because it would fuck up their lives, but they need the accommodations anyway.
Happy disability pride to people who did get/have gotten/had to get a diagnosis, because they needed what came from it.
Happy disability pride to the under-represented disabilities that people don't talk about much, or that get ignored both online and IRL.
Happy disability pride to those whose disabilities get represented in ways that do not match your experience at all.
Happy disability pride to the physically and mentally disabled people who are reading this. If you are one, the other, or (more often) both, you are still a valid person who faces discrimination and hardship from ableists, and we must all band together to vouch for our rights- ALL of our rights.
Happy disability pride to all of you, I love you all, and may we get through this month, and all the rest, together.
#disability pride month#disability pride#actually disabled#I have both:#chronic pain#cane user#and also:#actually autistic#(I wanted those tags to come up so I formatted it weird. sorry)#I hope this reaches you#and makes you feel seen and loved and happy#at least a little bit#to me you are all my siblings and we need to ALL stand together to survive

So I may have just sent several Asian ql recommendations to someone IN REAL LIFE for the first time. Someone who I work with. Who is younger than me. That I line manage. (They told me they were poly a few weeks ago, and they're from that area of the world and were curious about the shows, so I figured there was no harm...). I'll report back if I get a response from them 😬
#taiwanese bl#korean bl#ql drama#the shows I suggested were:#history 3: trapped#about youth#be loved in house: i do#my tooth your love#(because they speak mandarin)#and also:#semantic error#eighth sense#to my star#she makes my heart flutter#I told them if they liked the shows I would suggest more and maybe even thai ones#but I need to ease them into the genre first 😂

A sneak peek! The printable version is tricky, because my printer is broken. So I think I'll wait until I have a new one so that I can guarantee that the colours will be fine. Means sometimes next week. :-)

i was thinking in the shower about how things would have turned out had Bentley managed to break into the Cooper Vault without needing to recruit anyone. for starters, there wouldn't be a Sly 3 lol... i mean Sly and Bentley would definitely have gone after Murray so An Opera of Fear and Rumble Down Under would have happened i guess but for the sake of the post let's say they wouldn't have asked the Guru to join the gang. so no Netherlands and no China meaning no Penelope and no Panda King, and by extent no Dimitri because of no deal in Netherlands.
removing Sly 3's secondary characters kinda puts things into perspective in terms of character development. in Sly 1 we collected Thievius Racconus pages as we got closer to the truth and Sly learned new tricks and honed his skills in preparation for his encounter with Clockwerk. Sly 2 was just a traumatic trainwreck altogether like SP really put the gang through the wringer idk how they survived.
in Sly 3 this development is brought about through the secondary characters and their relationships with the protagonists. Penelope drives a wedge between Sly and Bentley forcing the latter to muster up the courage and step outside of Sly's shadow for a minute; Panda King's return demands Sly to mature and let go of the past; Dimitri tests the gang's patience; both Penelope and Panda King contribute to the Murray van storyline which kinda exhibited that yea! in the long run, Murray might be the dummy of the group as Dr Michael chastises at the end but he is definitely the heart of the gang.
but if all this never happened then how would Honour Among Thieves play out? funny thing is, even if they recruited the extended gang, shit hit the fan almost immediately upon arrival so i'm assuming the same would apply if the original trio had tried to pull it off on their own? no? as a sidenote: i'm also thinking that Sly 2 is the only game in the series that kinda had like the aspect of urgency if you think about it. someone stole the Clockwerk parts and they were going to rebuild him so tick tock bitch. Sly 1 and 3 however don't really have that sense of time pressure. the Fiendish Five were sitting on their asses for literally a decade before Sly popped up for the pages and don't even get me started on the possibility of Dr Michael managing to crack the Cooper Vault open like what a loser lmao. with this in mind, Bentley would have the time to develop his tech in order to do the tasks that the extended gang members would have done. i mean if he managed to build a time machine surely he could make his tech waterproof ?
so the entire heist goes according to plan with the possibility of them tripping that stupid alarm still at play. i never intended to do a full play by play "what if...?" of Honour Among Thieves but suffice to say Carmelita would 100% show up to save the day even with the change of context. i think the most important change would be that Bentley's run-in with Dr Michael would go down very differently. i don't think he'd defend Sly; i actually think Dr Michael would get to him even without Penelope's introduction because she only brought out feelings that were brewing deep in Bentley's subconscious (especially after the end of Sly 2, becoming disabled for a cause that was never his and that dedication arguably never being reciprocated). he might not have shown it in the moment but i think that conversation would significantly shape Bentley's character and if Sly got out of the episode unscathed, the gang would probably split. leaving the Guru behind would also give Murray the motive to go his own way.
it's clear that Sly 3's secondary characters helped the gang get over some unspoken issues they had between them, even if they got resolved behind each other's backs (because Bentley only vents to Penelope about his feelings and doesn't go straight to Sly, who, in turn, doesn't even know there's an issue to begin with). personally, and i feel kinda stupid for suggesting something so simplistic in relation to how this game would be better like 7-8 years after being on this godforsaken website and analysing it to the point where it feels like the bible, i feel like one more episode would help really flesh out the problems the gang had. we never get direct acknowledgment or accountability from Sly and it feels like he's too focused on entering the Vault to care about Bentley's feelings, or anyone else's for that matter (there's like 7 anon asks gathering dust in my inbox about why i have anti-Sly sentiment and that number better not go up). all it takes is a 'you know what guys? you should enter the vault with me after literally sticking by me since childhood and risking your lives fighting my own battles' and they shoot up the van like it's a guest on Wendy.
Sly 2's ending proved that the protagonists aren't Riverdale characters who just go through weekly life-threatening events without any guilt, trauma and anxiety; and then in Sly 3 we get high-stake situations akin to the ClockLa saga, like the Dragon snatching Penelope, but because it's crammed between episodes instead of games, the characters come out of it seemingly unfazed. the complete lack of recognition for all of this makes it seem like Sly is an awful leader for the gang. like i think Penelope would genuinely snap when she got taken hostage by LeFwee after the dragon thing.
i think the internal politics of the gang could have been explored way better but i understand that juggling that and the introduction of one new character per episode would be impossible. i'd love to see Bentley confronting Sly, Murray realising that he's getting more support about what matters to him (the van, the Guru's wellbeing) from the literal strangers they've recruited than his best friends, Sly realising that his lack of involvement in the gang's friendship is what turned Dr Michael against ConnEr. maybe Honour Among Thieves could have been a two-parter honestly. maybe the Dimitri Dr Michael piranha hybrid bossfight should have never made the cut.
#kings of fucking subtlety pulling up to a months-in-the-works heist in a pirate ship#i love these games#sly cooper#it's been so long since i've posted an essay post omfg#this one's chunky too like loads to discuss babes#other notes:#it's not like Sly learned how to fly a plane because of Penelope so he could still disable Kaine island's security right?#and also:#it feels like Bentley could have easily found someone other than Panda King but he just did it out of spite like out of pure pettiness#and that's just so deeply rotten like what was even the thought process behind that?#steal the girl that doesn't even know i exist? i'll force you to reconcile with the guy who killed your dad#wtf bentley

I'd like to propose a way for people who dislike Huntl0w to headcanon around it (inclusive of different orientation hcs), which would fit with where canon seems to be going so far:
Hunter asks Willow out, and she rejects him, because she's either not interested in him specifically, not interested in boys, or just not interested in dating as a whole. Hunter learns to healthily deal with that rejection, and then later also realizes that his feelings were never actually romantic, but were instead platonic - either because he develops romantic feelings for someone else and it feels different, or because, upon learning more about romance, he realizes he has never actually felt that.
If the show puts them together, then both of them are mistaking platonic feelings for romantic ones and will later realize that and split up, remaining friends instead.
#the owl house#toh hunter#hunter toh#the golden guard#willow park#huntl0w negative#(kinda)#gonna add some hc tags bc why not#aroace willow#aroace willow park#aro willow#aromantic willow#aroacespec hunter#and also:#aroace hunter#though non-aspec hcs are included in the post too

Book Peeta vs Movie Peeta.
What key point or best qualities of Peeta's that lost in the movie adaptation?
Thank you
@curiouspeetamellark
hmmm, okay, so i'm very willing to admit that i'm a genuine fan of the whole 'lovestruck breathless virgin' thing jhutch was giving us, like. he stepped up onto that stage and gave us movie after movie of Sunshine Boy and we owe him everything for it, BUT—HOWEVER—BE THAT AS IT MAY—
movie peeta... he is missing... how should i say this... a certain little something. a kind of edge.
he is missing, for lack of a better word, Bastardry™.
because we're talking about a guy who is intuitive enough to pick up on how much katniss hates when haymitch calls her 'sweetheart' and then use it to annoy her—
—while also, in the arena, using it as a kind of code phrase.
this is the guy who takes pains to poke fun at katniss for managing to be a prude in life or death circumstances.
and he's apparently such a dog with a bone that he still feels the need to tease her about it a year later.
but it's also yet another scene proving that he can read people. the snark serves a purpose.
but really, i just miss him being rude in general. movie peeta has much less sass.
and while i get that it amps up the difference between how he was and how he is once he's hijacked, i think the most chilling thing about hijacked book peeta is that you can see him—the real him—
—right there under the surface of everything he says.
however, close runner up: the missing prosthetic leg. i will never forgive the filmmakers for cutting that from the story. sorry that i want the oppressive, homicidal government-sponsored murder games' tangible and life-altering bodily consequences not to be brushed aside or ignored for the sake of Keeping Everyone Hollywood Hot, guess i'm just built different. not like that's the point or anything!!!!! that their bodies aren't their own, and exist only for consumption!!!!!
#i simply miss peeta being a rude little guy!!!!!#and also:#the leg. justice for the prosthetic.#anyways. hope you enjoyed my ranting or at least enjoyed studying my foolish brain like i'm a bug under a microscope.#abbey.txt#thg#peeta mellark

hideous wreaths in formula one: a dissection
in counterpoint to my massive wreath post, there have also been some duds in the history of formula one wreaths. they mostly fall under two categories: tiny, and ostentatiously floral. a curated selection of the two:
first off, these ones are just miserably tiny and undercut any sense of achievement of being on the podium.
in the same vein. james hunt is not impressed.
then you have the ones that are so bedecked in flowers that the whole Yeah, We're Manly Men Racing Manly Cars Etc. theme is rather lost in a floral explosion. great for us, because we don't care, but these people didn't seem to like it too much:
jim's would actually be totally normal if it wasn't such an awkward shape (i couldn't leave him out). gilles, meanwhile, has just been crowned the may queen.
james just really can't catch a break here. the wreath looks like a trashbag with flowers taped to it.
however, these examples are not the worst. not the most egregious. from the categories above, i hereby declare the most disappointing wreaths in the history of formula one to be... these things.
we've got one for each. miserable and tiny for alain (hey, it fits) and disgustingly, terribly ostentatious and also orange for didier. no one in any of these photos looks happy.
so there we have it, a round-up of just two of the ways formula one used to publically humiliate its winners. good thing we don't do that anymore!
#this is only a scratch on the surface#many wreaths have been excellent and just as many have been pure excrement#james really gets the short end of the stick here tho#f1#classic f1#formula 1#retro f1#vintage f1#jim clark#gilles villeneuve#jody scheckter#denny hulme#james hunt#alain prost#didier pironi#and also:#rene arnoux#keke rosberg#wreathposting

saw a post about how important it is for progressive christians to speak up and not let ultraconservative christians be the voice of the faith and you know what actually its important for progressive christians to do: destroy the church root and branch
#i understand that there have been and are#denominations and orders that are and have been revolutionary and even liberatory#and also:#they are fruit from a rotten tree#i say this with all the same seriousness and honesty that i say that for us to be free we must destroy america#the church must be destroyed root and branch

One thing about Dead Poets Society is that the performances of grief, the discovery that Neil is dead from his parents and from Todd, are so cutting so raw it’s horrifying
