#can’t argue with that i guess
Text
my mom has also updated her funeral mix. for years she drilled it into me that she wanted “i shall be released” (the rolling thunder version with joan baez on it) played and now she says she wants “to make you feel my love” (original and also both the billy joel and adele covers). i asked her what happened to i shall be released and she said “well, i’ll already be released”

chief maintenance guy: those branches you picked up, put ‘em in the dumpster.
me: I was gonna dump ‘em in the woods?
chief maintenance guy: no put ‘em in the dumpster. We’re payin’ for them to empty that thing and not fillin’ it up.
me: … and that’s… bad?
chief maintenance guy: Yeah! We need to use it. They’re payin’ for it!
me: okay.
chief maintenance guy: *drives off*
me: They’re about to be payin’ for the extra half hour it’s gonna take me now too.

Batman #650 (2006)
Batman and Red Hood (2011-) #20
Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016-) #25
“Bruce works out so he can carry Jason around like a baby” he is dragging him by the broken edge of the boy’s helmet, knuckles digging into his eyes. He is definitely strong enough to carry him but that’s not the point. He thinks Jason deserves this.
Task Force Z #6 (2022)
Catwoman (2018-) #57
Bruce and his habit of flattening his son onto the ground and standing on top of him like a lion does to its prey, while saying degrading things.
Batman (2016-) #138
And would you look at that. He finally lowered himself to face Jason. After rendering him completely powerless.
#definitely not cowardly at all!!#so far anytime somebody said Bruce is being ooc in the Jason tag I made a post like this#I’d argue Jason is too capable to let this happen every single time#but yeah have this I guess#his way of reminding Jason that he’s below him and always will be#what was it that Alfred said to Bruce in under the red hood?#right. ‘The son has not surpassed the father.’#some instances are more unhinged than others but more or less the rhetoric is the same#aside from how it’s a generally shitty way to treat your kid#it isn’t a good look considering how so much of Jason’s story is riddled with casual classism#but also I guess this goes to show it’s never been an equal/fair fight#not because Jason isn’t good/skilled enough it’s not about that#it’s because Bruce never ever intends to be fair#‘you can’t be allowed to make your own decisions’ is what he has always been pushing so it makes perfect sense#that this is what it culminated in#this is why I never agreed with the framing of Jason & Bruce’s disagreement as fair because this has always been the underlying ideology#jason todd#red hood#dc#under the red hood#red hood and the outlaws#task force z#gotham war

I think I’m going to start referring to Kirk and Spock as life partners to people because 1. that’s literally what they are, no matter how you spin their relationship and 2. yes it does make them sound very married, would you look at that…
#when a term is vague enough that people can’t argue but at the same time implies that they’re married#call that subliminal messaging I guess#and by people I mean people into Star Trek that don’t see any lgbtq subtext#star trek tos#trekposting#st tos#star trek the original series#kirk/spock#k/s#spirk#space husbands

I hate it when people go “back in my day people weren’t gay”, firstly because this is factually wrong, and secondly because I’m the worst person to say this to. I’m gay and a nerd, so I’m about to pull every myth, legend and story about queer people in the past. Like oh you think queerness is a new thing then let me tell you about the myth of Apollo, Hyacinthus and Zephyrus which was created about 3000 years ago. Sorry dude next time pick a fight with someone whose brain is the same size as yours.
#cause my class was arguing about gay people and this asshole goes#well I think they’re wrong and I don’t like them#‘people just can’t be gay’ WELL I GUESS IM A POTATO THEN#thank god we had this good teacher who mentioned Alan Turing as proof that it isn’t a new thing#but oh my god I almost started crying in class#because two other bitches were trying to CONVINCE me that being gay is a trend#one of them said ‘If the kids in The Wave were affected by fascism then wont teens be affected by the lgbt ‘movement’’#And it’s ridiculous cause that girl is named Athena like girl you’re supposed to be smart but the goddess of wisdom rightfullyabandoned you#I’m sorry but I’ve been holding off this rant since last Friday I could keep it any more

“Chapter 3: Avenger,” Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel (Vol. 1/2023), #1.
Writer: Saladin Ahmed; Penciler and Inker: Andrea Di Vito; Colorist: Edgar Delgado; Letterer: Ariana Maher
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel#Moon Knight comics#where’s Moony#Moon Knight#Marc Spector#Captain America#Steve Rogers#I never got around to posting this because of my perhaps disproportionate degree of Saltiness towards Zeb Wells’ handling#of this whole debacle#but ANYWAY#what Cap say here does however mean a whole ton to me personally#I know Marc’s probably just here to fulfill the ‘killer’ demographic quota but wouldn’t Frank Castle have been more emblematic of that?#but I guess it could be argued that the Punisher never really considered himself a hero#accordingly I might be completely delusional but I can’t help but think that despite Marc’s…past actions#he’s still a hero whose moral fibre is enough#to have Cap of all people at least passingly consider him to be something of a hero#the like of whom is thought of in the same strata as literal gods#(the same could be said about Peter and don’t get me wrong this Spidey fan is happy about that too#but Steve and Peter’s mutual respect has been established for decades [no matter WHAT stuff*ahem* current writers get up to]#whereas Cap and Moon Knight’s professional relationship is slightly less developed/recognized)#anyway yeah completely open to interpretation#I was just a bit surprised to find a Moon Knight reference here of all places

there’s being a teenage girl in your 20s then there’s whatever the fuck the babyface by sorry mom experience is
#i absolutely hate the phrase ‘teenage girl in your 20s’ idea it’s infantilising and will only stunt yr mental + emotional development#because if you keep doing that you’ll be 30 something saying shit like ‘i’m a 21 year old in my 30s’ which just sounds worse lol#and so on#and it’s not exactly a new phenomenon either bc women (mainly) will say they’re 21 with x amount of years extra experience#it’s just. idk. the obsession with perpetual yourh looks worse on people who are already young i guess#anyway back to babyface sorry mom. the album of all time; resonates with the ‘teenage girl in your 20s’ idea#(which for me has always been about being directionless and lost in life and feeling younger because you can see all your other 20-something#friends grow up and get jobs and finish their degrees n shit. and that makes you feel younger; almost teenager like)#(whereas i see a lot of people saying ‘teenage girl in my 20s’ as a way of almost bragging about being immature??#like not knowing how to do things or speak on certain subjects#stuff like ‘when he talks to me about the economy but i’m#literally a teenage girl in my 20s’ LIKE DO YOU NOT HEAR YOURSELF??#and of course i’m not shaming people for not knowing shit i mean look at me. i can’t drive i have no job and i dropped out of uni#but the REFUSAL to learn is astounding. like people think they can get away with being deliberately oblivious because they have#the self-proclaimed mentality of a teenage girl. and how do you think Actual Teenage Girls feel about people assigning their demographic as#being oblivious and vapid and lacking awareness#you know. traits that have historically been assigned to teenage girls that I Can Actively Remember trying to not associate with.#and my female peers were also arguing against as teenagers.#i dunno. in the words of tame impala it feels like we only go backwards)#long tags#kaycore#(fuck it. putting this in the sorry mom tag)#sorry mom band#babyface sorry mom

The struggle of talking about your favorite fictional characters depth because no one in the tiny ass fandom that exists gives him the proper analysis he deserves and you rotated him enough in your head that you have detailed opinions about his character arc but making essays are REALLY fucking hard so the only thing you can shove to peoples faces is random incoherent rambles about one very specific scene or just pointing to your ao3 where you’ve written in depth character fics about him but aren’t canon complaint whatsoever since it’s “what if he actually addressed his trauma, got help and it lead to a happier ending for him than canon?” which feels like it contradicts aspect of why him getting doomed by the narrative is so appealing to begin with but you cry like a bitch remembering what happens to him that you need to cope like every other fandom.
…My conclusion is I fucking hate Ryoma Nagare for ruining my life. /s
#meg text#getter robo#ryoma nagare#me and my friends are likely gonna finish new tomorrow and mentally I’m preparing to weep#nobody but me is gonna be emotional about the ending bc it’s not that sad but GRAAAH#I’m not fucking normal about this idiot#I want to go into the void and recuse him myself then BEAT HIM UP for making me feel this way#<I already brought him back in fic but shhhh that’s sadly not canon#I really wanna write essays about him though I just can’t WORD#I struggle to write fucking fics but something where I have to be clear to argue a subject??? Guess I’ll die#somebody come down from the heavens and make getter essays that wasn’t that one retrospective PLEASE#NEW NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT MORE FFS

Minthara can’t be Yvonnel’s daughter because each of Yvonnel’s 15 daughters were high priestesses and Minthara wasn’t a high priestess.
Also in 1484DR, Quenthel and Sos’Umptu are her last alive daughters so it eliminates everyone. But Quenthel’s first daughter is only around 70 when the events of the game occurred and Sos’Umptu feels like the less realistic choice (because the description of her mom doesn’t fit with Sos’Umptu less ambitious personality).
And Minthara can’t be one of Yvonnel’s son´s daughter because the drow society is a matriarchal society so the man get their wife’s last name so Minthara wouldn’t have been a Baenre if it had been the case.
Also. The Baenre had a Mindflayer advisor. Why would the Absolute want to put his hands on Menzoberranzan if they already had an Illithid advising in the city?? (I mean yes by 1484 bro is crazy but still)
My theory is that Larian forgot about the timeline (again) and that they didn’t really think about that. You know, like the fact that 10 years before the game you have Returning Day happening where you had a Slayer wreaking havoc in the streets of BG. But theoretically, that doesn’t make sense if the Durge or even Orin for that matter, were alive at that time period. Because Durge is supposed to be the favorite for probably more than 10y therefore they’re the one granted the Slayer form but there can’t be two Bhaalspawn with the form, that’s why Orin only has it if you refuse it and she doesn’t if you get it!
Also like isn’t Sarevok supposed to be dead?
And don’t tell me but they maybe don’t see the book as canon or smtg because they mention Drizzt multiple times, Jarlaxle is mentioned twice !!
#like yeah we can argue but we can’t argue with Larian plot hole i guess#having Minthara from Menzo in the story was already weird because Menzo is far far FAR away from BG#i love her and im glad she is in the game but it makes no sense for the Absolute to want to control so far away from BG#like Menzo but not the land in between?#bg3#minthara#minthara baenre#baldur’s gate 3

throwback to my high school philosophy teacher trying to catch me with stuff like "actually Jesus never said he was God, did you know that" and smugly prove that I (kid who was read the bible from the age of 2 and got my own by like 7) didn’t know the gospels.
like my dude, what do you think "before Abraham was, I AM" was about? you don’t know and I’M clueless about the text?
#He only invoked the actual name of god and people tried to stone him for it but nbd I guess#Now the question of John vs the synoptic gospels is a different one. There’s plenty of passages that argue for Jesus’ divinity in them too#But my teacher’s argument wasn’t about the synoptic vs John or the historical Jesus vs what the gospel authors might have invented#His argument was that IN THE TEXT OF THE GOSPELS there was no point where Jesus claimed to be be God#Which is insane to me#How are you gonna be a philosophy teacher and not be more familiar with the utterly basic tenets of western culture’s core belief system#You can CLAIM that the ‘real’ Jesus never said it but you can’t possibly claim that he didn’t say it IN THE GOSPELS#French education is in shambles I swear#Also shoutout to my insane (affectionate) and brilliant very agnostic and very french American Literature and Civilisation college professo#Who spent three years straight ranting about the Logos and incarnation as intertext#I love you man you knew what was up#This is without even getting into the passages like ppl going “only God can forgive sins” and Jesus forgiving sins on the spot#Which btw happens in mark aka the earliest gospel and in Matthew aka the probably-written-in-Hebrew gospel#So it’s not something John made up as some culturally greek theological fan fiction

headcanoning [long] john silver as a jew is really funny to me because it actually coheres really well with how he’s written in black sails, but it also retroactively turns treasure island into a really antisemitic narrative. not that that’s abnormal or atypical either but like. it’s funny
#o.tv#I actually haven’t read treasure island since I was a kid it might already be antisemitic I can’t actually remember#but like. it’s a colonial fantasy so it doesn’t surprise me either#if it is#I guess you could also argue it’s antisemitic in black sails since he subverts the ideals of the revolution#but I’ve graciously decided to allow it :)#because it coheres.

been laying here listening to Lucky by Dermot Kennedy on loop for half an hour while thinking about Everything Stays and crying
#it’s good crying dw i am just. i have so many feelings about this story#Seven’s Celestial Commentary#Everything Stays#writing stuff#i may be stuck in bed struggling to type due to personal reasons but that will Not stop me from cooking up ideas for this fic#there is gonna be so much fucking angst and it’s gonna hurt soooooo good#the more i listen to it the more the possibilities expand#i can easily see Moon and Reader going back and forth between verses vulnerably arguing over Sun#but i can also see it being Sun and Moon getting real and discussingcougharguingover Reader#can’t decide which i like more#god i wish y’all could see this story the way it plays out in my head#next best thing would be to keep writing and sharing the story instead of vagueposting abt future plot points tho wouldn’t it lmao#and GOD don’t even get me fucking STARTED on Two Hearts…#Dermot Kennedy’s music is responsible for yet Another plot point for this story and i can’t even be mad about it. his fucking lyricsss dude#‘and so we jump to the THEATER??? in that SAME OLD TOWN???’ DO WE? FUCK I GUESS WE DO NOW!!!#picture me listening to that song and inspiration hitting me like a truck. diligently taking notes like the lyrics r instructions from God#‘she sees his face?? and HE sees HER as the LIGHTS GO DOWN???’ write that down write that down#‘the life that they should’ve had sat between them that night??’ FUCK Man yeah it sure did!!!#anyways it’s chill i’m chill. i’m very normal about my little stories and their musical inspirations!#and i’ve listened to these songs a very normal amount (translation: they will likely be in my top ten for the 2024 wrapped)#(cut to the scenes playing vividly in my head) ‘Well‚ at least I can always say that I /told/ her!’#‘I can’t relate to having a heart like that‚ Sun! With all of your wonder and your trust intact…’#like no i wouldn’t lift the lyrics directly for the song to use as dialogue but FUCk does it work well.. Lucky is such a good script for-#like- a heated conversation between my Relentlessly Positive Sun and my Apathetic Jaded Moon#‘How could our farewell mean as much as our time? Honey‚ I’ll be gone. It’s better if I’m something that you leave behind.’#‘I used to paint these trees‚ now I just scream at the sky. Honey I was wrong. Guess there’s certain things you never leave behind.’#*sobbing shaking throwing up clawing at the walls* I Am Normal About These Characters#anyways uh. on an unrelated note how many song lyrics do ya think i can cram into ES before it’s Too Many#gonna have to start getting creative with how i can incorporate more songs in a way that feels natural and not forced#even tho i am forcing it. i am forcing it very much bc i have songs with applicable lyrics and y’all Will read them one way or another

"TOXIC positivity for thinking it’s normal to, idk, enjoy the shows you watch."
no, toxic positivity is when a fandom can't take criticism and makes insular bubbles where they harass anyone who falls out of love with a thing or strawmans two different points into one so they can sound smart and win a shower argument.
y'know, like you did when you conflated the railroading and aimless arguments. :/
What’s a shower argument?
Haha wild. Anyways. Still don’t get ppl who have time to hate the things they watch. Seems really sad. Sorry ur in such a place. Hope you learn to love yourself more than that at some point.
#is a shower argument like an argument you have with yourself and imaginary ppl in the shower?#anon#asks#like when u just wanna talk or think so you do it in the shower#that makes sense I guess#to be fair I do seek out the cr discourse tag to see what shit ppl are spouting this week#and this is me doing an unkindness to myself#I’d argue checking a tag on tumblr every couple of weeks is a bit different from watching a 4 hour show once a week#but to each their own#i think I remember the post this is about#ohhh yeah I said they can’t both be railroaded and be aimless and like obviously I was being ironic#cuz it’s a long show and they obviously can haha#but more about like??? it’s just tiresome when you enjoy something to have to scrolll through a dozen posts with ppl saying nasty shit#I don’t get iittttttt#like if I don’t like something I just stop watching I don’t go look up the tag and complain and insist#that anyone who is still watching MUST be a fool and wrong and if they would just LISTEN to WHY#i hate the show they’d see reason#like it’s fine fam! don’t watch! shoo!#peace be with you!#let me look at cute pics of girls with big round glasses and sad animatics of gingers throwing fireballs#and lesbians who have more blood on their hands than in their hearts and watch them soften around each other#love them all
