making money from a queer couple that you’ve teased for years at this point while simultaneously canonizing multiple het couples & hiding behind the excuse of slow burn is textbook queerbaiting btw. definitions expand with the movement of media: crwby + rooster teeth are not queer creatives that have to fight homophobic networks for representation to be made.

glad we had this talk fndm.

#rwby #rwde #queerbaiting in media #queerbaiting #ais.txt #for reference that jacket came out like 2 - 3 years ago.#they were beginning to lean into bees properly like #FIVE years ago #half a decade!#everything else about this ship aside #stop accusing other queer people of being cishet #bc they're pointing out that the actual cishet people are co-opting queer shit #for money #especially when said cishet people have actively been queerphobic #or did we all just forget the fugz nickname? cause people in crwby did that.

corrupted godhood. reluctant false messiah. prophecy as a creeping all consuming malady. does the oracle see the future or make the future? the horror of trapping yourself inescapably on purpose. the chains of destiny dragging you towards the path you are fighting tooth and nail to free yourself from. there never having been a chance to begin with. no other choice to make. but making that choice regardless.

#feel delirious with how well denis captured all of this. he made my blorbo of all time real 😭😭 timtom i owe u everything <3 #way over half a decade waiting for this was more than worth it. im swooning #dune #dune part two #paul atreides #dunetwo #thats my sweet darling angel baby boy despotic genocidal religious figurehead who never did anything wrong ever 💖

it’s hard to regain your passion after a burn out. I read someone describe not as re-lighting the old torch, but as crafting a new torch to light, and that is what it feels like! it’s work!

#I feel silly since the burnout happened in 2020 #it’s been almost half a decade! get over it! work harder!

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone.

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion.

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files.

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued.

“Is he coming to the Manor or…”

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

i really can not stand the “fandom is so fun we’re all just projecting and making shit up” thing. because no i actually deeply admire the canon of my favorite media and all the intention and care and craft put into it. we are not the same.

#ur supposed to do that when the source material sucks #when theres huge gaps worth filling whether its in representation or just bad writing or SOMETHING fundamentally unexplored #when the source material is good and smart and has like 2 decades worth of really well developed characters with psychological complexity #stories about queerness and mental illness and neurodivergence and shit. all right there in canon. ripe to pick and dig ur teeth in #WHY BOTHER MAKING SHIT UP it just. dumbs down everything.#not to be like a rick and morty redditor going umm ackshully u need a high iq to understand this show ☝️🤓#but like. it’s true maybe? media literacy is kicking half this fandom’s ass #im not talking about anyone in particular just a general trend im seeing getting worse

"Oh dear," the unicorn thought. "I must've really mucked up the story beyond compare! The Red Bull Luo Binghe is protecting the last unicorn scum?! Unconscionable! He should have driven me off the cliff by now!!"

#dont ask why binghe gets to be a human but sqq has to be a unicorn #maybe hes prince lir in this au actually wait omg that would be good #half human half red bull sxy was freakay #the unicorn turning human to disguise herself is obviously sqqs plant body allegory #binghe sniffing around the castle: where is shizun i can still smell him? suspiciously sqq shaped human: gulp #binghe's tragic backstory in this au i guess is that he meets shen qingqiunicorn as a kid and sqq can sense that hes half fae and so #takes him semi under his wing but is like a prick about it until binghes seal breaks and they find out that hes a red bull fae #and shen jiu stabs him into the ocean something something abyss he comes back gets adopted by haggard kills every unicorn by throwing them #into the ocean as well before picking off shen jiunicorn last. and then sy fucks it all up #it's been like a decade since i read the book sorry #svsss #scumbag self saving system #scum villain's self saving system #bingqiu #shen qingqiu #sqq #lbh #luo binghe #my art #svsss last unicorn au

watcher trying to do a dropout is funny when they aren't offering as much, aren't doing it in 2018 and hence new to the game, and aren't doing it because they're broke! they've got no reason to do it and i think archiving the old videos is just such an unnecessarily petty move. feel free to give me ur password <3 feel free to never buy this :>

#watcher #dropout.tv #we are watcher #ryan bergara #steven lim #shane madej #ghost files #mystery files #worth it #watcher tv #like...dropout just got profitable and it took them half a decade with a decent slate of things to pitch people

The Boltons do slay in all senses of the word. You do have to hand it to them for achieving a level of cunt few other houses have

fire and blood’s biggest weakness is that there’s only one bolton mention in the whole thing and it’s teenage barba bolton trying to marry aegon the miserable so that the crown will feed her starving people because cregan stark seemingly just isn’t. i need to know more about them and what they were getting up to but well. peaceful lands and well behaved people rarely make history😇

#if a bolton is desperate enough to ask the CENTRAL GOVERNMENT for help you know they started doing cannibalism like. half a decade ago #asoiaf

I know we live in a very different world now, but I find it concerning how the newspapers printed all these kids' addresses. Did any harm ever come from that, to your knowledge?

I feel like the concept of your address being private information is a very modern one. Any news story until the mid-20th century (and much later in small towns/rural areas) would include the addresses of the individuals involved. Even the smallest towns printed yearly city directories that listed everyone's current address and occupation. So I can't imagine anyone would hesitate to publish a child's address, as why bother concealing what was already considered public information?

Furthermore, the concept of stranger kidnapping - and 'stranger danger' in general - was not something that really entered the public consciousness in the US until the 1920s, and even then the vast majority of kidnappings were for ransom. It was something that happened to rich people, usually in big cities.

It wasn't until several extremely high profile kidnappings of children in the late 20s/early 30s (namely Marion Parker, Walter Collins and Charles Lindbergh Jr.) that the concept of a stranger taking your child would probably have even crossed the mind of the average parent.

Additionally it's important to understand that the role of small town newspapers (where most of the Dear Santa letters are from) was something closer to Facebook or the Nextdoor app than a source of important news. Going on a trip? It's in the newspaper. Having a small dinner party? That's getting reported, along with the guest list, menu, party favors and any decorations you put up. Your child built a particularly nice snowman? There's a reporter here and entire town will know before dinner time.

So is it possible that some burglar used a Dear Santa letter to target the home of a wealthy child sometime in the 1890s? Sure? But I can't see why in an era where if you wanted to know where someone lived you could stop any random person on the street and say "Hey, where do the Johnsons live?" and no one would hesitate to tell you.

I remember a really bizarre exchange I had on my old Tumblr back in 2015 where I argued with an anon over asks bc I wanted to eat less sugar in my diet so that I'd have less painful acne breakouts. and they took it SUPER personally for whatever reason and I specifically remember a banger line where they said something along the lines of "if you're gonna be the fucking sugar police then im becoming a sugar terrorist" and I still don't know what it means today

#ik this sounds like a fake tumblr story but bruh mid 2010s teenagers were SOMETHING ELSE #anyways this shit is part of why i quit Tumblr and didnt come back till half a decade later #btw cutting sugar really did improve my acne i have fantastic skin now 👍

I think Gordon and Alyx are both highly competent and brilliant professionals and also deserve to be depicted as The Ones Everyone Has To Deal With. They saved the world but Kleiner will never forget the vent races and Eli would really appreciate it if Alyx could go down stairs without vaulting over a railing just once

#half life #half life 2 #hl2 #alyx vance #gordon freeman #barney has spent the past couple decades under the mask. i think hes jealous of their energy #gonna take time for him to become their third musketeer
