No one look at me this is giving me so many sugar baby Bruce and DA Harvey vibes

does this look like the face of a man that narrowly escaped a political science degree to you

if skeppy were here, bad would rant at him about president forever and skeppy would listen very patiently (perhaps while playing elevator music) and when bad finally finished, skeppy would say "well ill vote for you in the elections :D" and bad would start screaming

genuine question but is there any fandom where a character is well written by the majority. im thinking about fandom culture and the spread of frustration when people dont write characters well but. honestly in all the fandoms ive been in there's only like, a Select number of authors who i trust to write Well, let alone write Well AND In Character. character analysis and writing and getting inside characters' heads are all separate skills (all of which are trained by roleplaying fyi can CONFIRM playing pretend with your friends is good for you). there's been more than once where I've disagreed with an interpretation that others agreed with, and then I turned out wrong. or i turned out right. like it doesnt matter WHO is right it just matters that differences in character analysis exist, so even if you DO write well AND write in character, your in character is still going to be someone else's out of character

there's this sort of. vibe. that to play in the sandbox you Need to be able to make a castle, and if you can't make a castle then you shouldn't bother, and it completely dismisses the idea that youre in that sandbox to PLAY in the first place. there's this Weight of disappointing someone if you can't build something that they like, but that forgets that you aren't there to build them a castle. like, be KIND. if you disagree with someone then please make an effort to do so kindly. i dont give a shit about fandom discourse but there is a reason kids get removed from sandboxes if they keep throwing sand in people's eyes. but if they don't like your misshapen sand pile, then youre not obligated to change it. even if you yourself end up hating that same sand pile later- youre not building a legacy. youre playing. and sometimes the result of that play is out of character drivel. theres a reason there are so many authors and so few who i like to consistently read and thats because everyone is Fucking Around in their hobby space. hash tag brag or whatever but i can build castles. ive built several that im v proud of. ive also dug holes in the sand for fun and then tripped on them when trying to get up. I often dug a hole and then got up and fucking- whoops, its a castle now, and i didn't realize i'd made something to be proud of until after the fact. the whole time while creating shit i was Convinced it was bullshit that didn't make sense. and then other times i was Convinced it was bullshit and then i was Right and i can look back and go. huh. ew. but it doesn't matter what the end result was, because i had fun playing in the sandbox

this wasn't meant to turn into a ramble but i have Feelings about bad art and art that's badly perceived and how public perception can screw with your head and how making art youre proud of is fucking. it's so difficult!!! it's hard!! it's really fun, which is why i try to make it, but i promise you it is Okay to not tryhard creativity. even if you CAN, it's okay not to do it all the time. or ever, even. fuck around find out have fun etc

final will take of the night is that this was a great look. he looked stunning and handsome here.

After every (American) election, there's always a bunch of posts going around exposing psyops or pointing out how there were posts on this site designed to get people to not vote blue.

And in the lead up to every (American) election, there's a bunch of posts being reblogged that are clearly either psyops or manipulative posts that tell people it's perfectly okay for them not to vote at all.

Like, there's history going back years on this hellsite where the alt-right intentionally tried to undermine or indoctrinate people so they get/stay in power. History a lot of y'all know of or were even there for and saw go down in real time.

But sure, be uncritical of what you reblog, don't bother looking at the source website, or just put things out there without caveats or nuance.

Hey! Anyone else notice that the so called “Shazam” Family still don’t have FUCKING NAMES!!

Yeah, the wiki says Billy, Mary, and Freddy are Shazam, Lady Shazam, and Shazam Jr. Great....What’s Pedro’s? What’s Eugene’s? What’s Darla’s?

Here, I’ll make it easier:

Captain Marvel (Billy) Cdr. Marvel (Mary) Lt. Marvel (Freddy) Sgt. Marvel (Eugene) Cpl. Marvel (Pedro) Private Marvel (Darla)

There! I fixed your problem and it lets them say their fucking names!

no one asked but i gotta put out one of my biggest fandom/fanfic pet peeves:

"unthinking/meme-poisoned socmed usage assigned to every character"

why does everyone have to be a twitter funnyman. why does everyone act like they post for clout and monetization. when would they have the time? what does account verification entail, and would they warrant it.

think it through 🤔

Have you ever gotten such violent catharsis over a show that you almost foam at the mouth

That's the election arc of Hunter x Hunter.

Hey Dutch people, so far fewer people have voted than at the same time in 2017!

You know what that means: your vote is more impactful than it was that time if you cast it! That was an election I was very worried about, which is why I got my citizenship. Unfortunately I still couldn't vote because I got it like a week before the election and they couldn't get a 'Kiespas' to me in time. Ah well. If you care about what's going on in the country or the world at all, if you have been signing petitions and donating money and attending protests and yelling at politicians, please take this opportunity to do something. GO OUT AND VOTE FOR A NON-FASCIST OR MIGHT I EVEN SUGGEST FOR SOMEONE WITH HALFWAY DECENT POLICIES

At this point, they're Russia's useful idiots

there's this french tv host who's like. consistently propped up as like... an example of "a different person" and someone who struggled with growing up different and whose success is to be inspiring for how Different People can still make it big and like

his thing is he has a birthmark on his nose

discord keeps trying to take my numbers well jokes on them i will be clinging onto those things for dear life until it pries them out of my cold dead hands

joe biden is not the nominee yet. we don't have to settle for a democratic president who was foisted upon us by the DNC without the will of the people 4 years ago and has done 0.00 to re-earn my vote since, actually.

he has not won the nomination. stop acting like its inevitable. that's not democracy.

not voting for biden in the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY which HAS NOT HAPPENED YET is not the same thing as not voting in the general election nor is it equivalent to voting for trump

just because Biden and the DNC wish we would all forget that we have had no democratic debates or the primary election yet, doesn't mean a bunch of overreactive centrists get to tell me I'm the same as a trump voter because I believe democracy is about having legitimate options and that having candidates who represent my policies is a important to me (even if they don't win the primary we deserve the OPTION!)

the category is: idiotic cowardly leaders of europe

on the topic of cwilbur not respecting cquackity i'd like to offer this clip from nikis birthday party that makes me chew my arm off. @viceduo

[Transcript:

Wilbur singing to Quackity: I can't fucking stand you. But you're still really hot-

Karl: True!

Wilbur: (unintelligible) me with all your indecisive little bullshit actions.

Quackity (annoyed): Okay-

Wilbur: You are the perfect one for me... if you promised you'd never speak and you'd just stand there in my room looking pretty.

Karl: ... Wow.
