#disappointed to say the least

this crossed a very important line.
it isn’t about the ships at this point, it’s about queer characters’ feelings being used to ‘uplift’ the straight couple’s relationship.
as a queer person myself, will’s car scene has me sobbing all day. all day. and i know it’s “just a tv show” but honestly? it makes you believe that this is the most you’ll get. treating a queer character as a plot device and having them suffer, be ignored and left out is actually heartbreaking. we all know they can do better than this
god, he literally called himself a mistake.

Not to get the wrong takeaway from that whole post but Calvin and Katie Stockdale really watched Chris Evans in Knives Out in 2019 and walked away with a new baby name
💀 this ask made me so curious bc it seems like there is no other explanation.....it's the same weird name, same year the movie came out, obviously they just must be huge Christian Knives Out fans.
but then i got the insatiable need to know for sure so i googled the date of the official Knives Out premiere in the US:
and then I searched around on facebook to see if that family had made any public birth announcements in 2019 (bc that picture made it seem like they were definitely facebook people) and there weren't any but the dad Calvin did make a public profile pic change to this pic of him with a newborn on the underlined date:
which is BEFORE IT CAME OUT. So unless he and his wife went to the Toronto Film Festival like a week or so before she gave birth, or he randomly changed his picture to a newborn photo of one of his other kids right before he had his last kid (and made it one of his only public fb posts for some reason), it looks like it's probably a coincidence?? And they don't live in Toronto or anywhere in Canada, it looks like they're currently in Michigan per Calvin's job.
anyway I just thought that was a wild coincidence and am upset that this baby isn't named after a Knives Out character (probably).

Also I dreamed I was stressing out because I didn't know how to fit the entire team in my house for my birthday party and when I woke up I was dead sure it happened and it took me a second to realize that I'm not, in fact, besties with the entire Manchester United Women's team

ICJ Ruling
Okay, let's get into this.
First of all, I get the frustration at the court not ordering a ceasefire. I was disappointed and frustrated at first too, since a ceasefire was the biggest and most important preliminary measure South Africa was requesting - and of course we just all want this horror to finally end for the people in Gaza. So I get the frustration and disappointment, I really do.
However, I do think this ruling is still a major win for South Africa, Palestine, and international law as a whole and here's why:
The court acknowledged that it has jurisdiction over this case and completely dismissed Israel's request to throw out the case as a whole. It will now determine at the merits stage (that will probably take years) whether Israel is actually commiting genocide.
The court acknowledged that Palestinians are a "distinct national or ethnic group and therefore deserving of protection under the genocide convention". Pull this out next time someone tells you "there's no such thing as Palestinians, they're all just Arabs".
The court acknowledged very unambiguously that "at least some" of Israel's actions being genocidal in nature is "plausible". South Africa has a case, officially. Israel is accused of genocide, in a way the ICJ deems "plausible", officially. This is huge. (And seriously, how freaking satisfying was it to hear all of those genocidal statements by Israeli politicians read out loud and used as justification for this rulling?)
The court might not have ordered a "ceasefire" in those words, but they did order Israel to "immediately end all genocidal acts" (which includes killing and injuring Palestinians) and submit proof that they actually did. How are they going to comply with this ruling without at least severly reducing or changing what they're doing in Gaza?
In fact, this wording might actually be more appropriate for a genocide (vs a war), as author and journalist Ali Abunimah notes on Twitter:
He's completely right. Israel lost today, by overwhelming majority (I mean, 15 to 2? I heard people predict the rulings would be very close, like 9 judges vs 8, but instead we got 15 to 2 (and even 16 to 1 on the humanitarian aid). Holy shit.) The court disimissed almost everything Israel's side of lawyers said, while acknowledging that South Africa's accusations are "plausible".
And this is important especially because of Mr Abunimah's second tweet there^. Because the question is, where do we go from here?
This ruling means that Israel is officially /possibly/ commiting genocide and that should have huge international consequences. The rest of the world now HAS to take these accusations seriously and stop arming and supporting Israel - and if they won't do it on their own, we, the people, have to make them. This is THE moment to rise up all around the world, especially in the countries most supportive of Israel (the US, the UK, Germany): Protest, call your representatives and demand a ceasefire and an end of arms deliveries to Israel.
We now have a legal case to back our demands: If Israel is, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" commiting genocide, then all of our governments are, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" guiltly of aiding in genocide. And we need to hold that over their heads and demand better. We need to do that right now and in huge numbers. Most politicians only care about themselves and saving their skin. We have to make them realize that they could be accused of aiding in genocide.
(As a German, I'm thinking of Germany here in particular: After South Africa's hearing, our government dismissed their case as having "no basis" - how are they going to keep saying that now that the ICJ officially thinks otherwise? Over the last months, people here have been arrested at protests for calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide. How are the police supposed to legally keep doing that now that the ICJ has officially deemed this accusation "plausible"? I used to be scared to use the word "genocide" at protests or write it on my protest signs - not anymore, have fun trying to arrest me for that when the ICJ literally has my back on this one 🖕🏻.)
So yeah - don't be defeatist about this, don't let Israel's narrative that they "won" (they didn't) take over. This might not be everything we wanted, but it's still a good result. Don't let what the court didn't say ("ceasefire"), distract you from the very important things that they did say. Let this be your motivation to get loud and active, especially if you live in any country that supports Israel. Put pressure on your governments to not be complicit in genocide, you now officially have the highest international court on your side.
#ICJ#ICJ ruling#ICJ hearing#South Africa vs Israel#Free Palestine#Palestine#Palestinian genocide#Gaza#Germany#I get why Palestinians are disappointed and I don't want to devalue those feelings#(but maybe this can give you hope)#But thinking about this as a German this is huge#Most politicians and people here still deny (or at least strongly doubt) that there's a genocide happening#Calling it a genocide is seen as an 'extremist' position#And some of our politicians have been borderline gaslighting us and calling anyone who calls it genocide 'crazy'#So I'm just feeling immense vindication and a newfound fearlessness and motivation to be louder and more active than ever#and I hope others here feel the same#I hope the quiet masses stop being scared to say something now

Not Kanye west & his people threatened the Black women on behalf of his massa? Ugh! I hate it here!
This has me so upset, I am so angry! I want to cry
He was one of my favorite musicians and the last few years he had turned into A literal coon!
I’m disappointed. like a mother who is upset with her children so much that she could not even talk to them for days disappointed.

I honestly think they dropped the ball on the ted and nate storyline. ted as a character was fleshed out by not having him be this two-dimensional, always positive person and having one of his pressing issues be him not being able to open up and express his emotions. while it is in character for ted to have already forgiven nate, for the show to wait to the very last episode for them to have a real conversation and for it to not even have ted express how nate had hurt him is a disservice to both characters and their overall arcs
#ted lasso#ted lasso spoilers#nate shelley#mackenzie speaks#text#sorry for bringing negativity but i thought the nate character journey would be one of the strongest of the show and it really fizzled out#and im honestly a bit upset because nate is such a hated character (unfairly to an extent tbh) and for it to fall flat in its resolvement#is disappointing to say the least. the show is lucky nick and jason are good actors otherwise id be on a warpath

I've watched Helluva Boss and enjoyed it to an extent, and I am planning on eventually checking out Hazbin Hotel cuz it seems to be about the same, tone and concept-wise. I'm sure I'll like it fine.
But like! I truly canNOT understand the extreme hype. And the most frustrating part is the fact that these are painfully mid shows. They're definitely interesting concepts that could potentially produce great storylines, but they end up getting bogged down hard in sloppy and rushed execution. It's disappointing.
Also, it says A LOT that the numerous fan redesigns of the Hazbin characters that I've seen look miles better than the originals. For a show that was in development for the series proper for over four years, it flaunts some of the most godawful "Tumblr sexyman" middle school looking character designs I've ever had the displeasure of watching huge swaths of fans go balls to the wall nuts for. They really dropped the freakin ball on that front imo. Oof.
Like I said, both these shows are good, to an extent. But I'm not sure Hazbin in particular deserves so much... perfunctory praise, I guess, is how I'd phrase it.
#hazbin hotel#helluva boss#vivziepop critical#vivzieverse#vivzipop critical#vivzie critical#I don't mean this as a hate post btw#as I stated there are some great qualities to these shows#it's just... frustrating and disappointing esp with this crazy high level of hype#and ofc viv herself is... v complicated to say the least :/#on one hand I'm hesitant to post this but on the other hand SOMEONE'S gotta be brave enough to say it 👀#my posts

Things I was happy about in the episode:
Pretty much everything actually. The Fukuchi 36 years reveal was rushed due to the pacing but it made sense and finally explained why the hell he would go about blowing up the world when he was so motivated by the horrors of war. It also leads itself into some interesting questions for later. But I'll list some other highlights:
The pretty flashbacks
Aya and Bram :) Also Bram getting his body back.
Whoever "that man" was that Fyodor mentioned. I am intrigued tell me more. Does this mean that Fyodor was projecting his feelings towards his rivalry with an ex onto Dazai. That would be so funny. (Also I wonder about his age still... how long ago are we talking?)
Dazai's strength explicitly being stated as the absolute trust he has in his allies, as opposed to Fyodor's need for complete control. <-I mean. We all knew but it's the confirmation that's nice.
Nikolai's conflicted emotions on Fyodor's death getting focus and attention - and Dazai not saying anything and just letting him feel whatever he's feeling. My poor jester lad.
Chuuya trying and failing to pull the fangs out of his mouth
Poor Teruko having to deliver the final blow
Semi-confirmed old man yaoi??? Like. The way that whole scene was framed between Teruko, Fukuchi, and Fukuzawa. Um.
Fukuchi's dying moments. Fukuzawa trying and failing to throw away One Order. The most emotional and devastated we've ever seen him. Ranpo knowing he can't throw it away. For all I was saying earlier, guys I'm so so glad he isn't dead.
Whatever that last bit was??? Are we changing the setting? Is this what happens after the other side of the Page is activated? Are we pulling in mythology? Sskk complete confidence and Atsushi smiling at Akutagawa? Hell yeah?????
Things I am not sure yet how to feel about:
Fyodor's apparent death. If he really did just die and won't be back in any capacity... it's kind of a let down. He. Barely did anything. But I feel like there's still going to be something. Like even if he's dead for good he'll still haunt the story in some way.
Hope they do something more with Teruko after this. Interesting to have her end things like that but. Please can we elaborate on her more. Other than just she had feelings for him. Please.
No involvement from Yosano or Kyouka or Kouyou. I get that it was already busy and crammed enough as is, so it wouldn't have worked to shoehorn them in at this point but. Please do something with them in the next arc.
Things I did not like:
...Chuuya wasn't really a vampire he was just wearing contacts and glue in fangs the entire time. 🙄
#storyrambles#look i don't want to rain on anyone's parade but that last bit was. disappointing to say the least.#amused that sina's joking prediction turned out to be true though. i mean it is pretty funny when you get down to it#imagine chuuya just has fangs for the rest of the series because he can't get them out. hwjehfbjdhf#bsd#bsd season 5#bsd spoilers

have been reblogging a lot of really good opinions that have put my feelings on the whole watcher situation into better words than i possibly ever could.
i love puppet history, and ghost files, and mystery files, and survival mode, and dish granted, because they were charming and funny to me. i was just happy to still have ghoul boys content after buzzfeed unsolved ended and i really enjoy cooking shows, so steven making impressive meals for people he seems to call friends made me happy too.
i dont think im entitled to anyones art. i cant afford a streaming service because i dont have a job. so i wont be able to continue supporting them simply on my own inability, not because i dont want to. im just a broke autistic person who gets frustrated with sudden, unforeseen change. we were All expecting a new show, not this. my own inability to easily deal with sudden change isnt a reflection on them, but their complete silence on the extreme backlash *is.*
whatever vague, tone-deaf responses have been given is what sealed the deal for me. not to be parasocial, but we all expected better of you, watcher boys. best of luck and comfortable lives to you all.
#watcher#watcher entertainment#ghoul boys#i am frustrated to say the least.#it feels like losing good friends and i need time to cope with that. shrug emojis#i need to find something thatll effectively replace ghost files for me#nevermind puppet history bc where am i going to find#someone who fills that kind of niche in a way my brain accepts#men: disappointing but never surprising

just chilling and suddenly brain hits with the thought that what if I fcked up something in Gale's romance route and he may leave my Tav in the end to try to become dumbass god anyway (so to die like a total fool)
im too far from finishing this playthrough to figure it out so I'm just.... gonna be very cautious and afraid all this time, I guess
#so huh#was very neutral on the run all this time and only pretty soft on him to change his mind so..... im not sure how strongly he left his plans#and can i change somethibg in future#at least never suggested him to forsake mystra or get a crown for himself only questioning him each time and saying that i love him as he is#??? i guess thats enough for now#ugh#stupid anxiety#about damn game#.... at least my sorcerer tav will be def disappointed in wizards forever and ever and curse them all wow what a story#mystuff

Thinking about my dumb OCs ever since I saw a video of two guys trying to demonstrate the kabedon and one of them could not stop laughing...
#my characters#right politely raising his hand to cuss at his buddies thats true friendship#he has to humor them at least a little and he also knows this is an actual challenge now#he has paul trying to help him and oh boy this is going to go the way right wants it to and no exceptions#paul does in fact act not disappoint and says karen can demonstrate then#because hes taking this very seriously despite right not taking it seriously while pretending to care#in rights defense he gets a date before paul gets a date with his crush and right just cusses at his crush#in fact he finds it really funny when the guy he likes cusses because its rare and deadpanned so he tries to#prompt a repetition because its really funny when he gets indulged#cause not many people indulge him so hes like thats my best friend now its wonderful look at him hes hilarious#and paul is like yes as funny as a brick wall im so happy for you
