not to be like “ugh aos crew” again but ugh aos crew again spock really got accepted into the most prestigious university on vulcan and was like “haha fuck you <3″ bc they insulted the fact that he’s mixed-race jim banged his forehead in the shuttle within the first 30 seconds he was on board leonard was hiding in the bathroom of said shuttle because he hates flying sulu couldn’t get the ship to warp for the first 3 minutes of his first-ever flight on the enterprise uhura is mostly okay still except she’s also got a thing going with her former professor so maybe that raises some eyebrows (ha) scotty is literally in a butt-fuck middle of nowhere outpost on a death ice planet chekov is. seventeen. i don’t really have much more to add to that except guys your ensign is seventeen years old

No way they had to actually nerf aventurines story boss fight 😭😭

Between TF and my other fandoms like BG3 and TES, I keep finding myself making OCs that have some element of "battle hardened hero who is actually good and righteous, but so traumatized by the toll of war that even after the war ends they feel empty/wrecked and can't enjoy the fruits of victory" and I'm not sure if it's bc I gravitate to a certain type of media where such OCs fit in best, or bc I have a specific character archetype I like and gravitate towards media that contains those things.

I have started making a new playlist (something I almost always do when I find a new obsession) and it’s hard to keep making it because I’m not done with the source material yet and I am not about to search for spoilers so it’s just so much guesswork right now.

I feel like at least several times a month, I have a random insane revitalization of my love for The Smiths. Not that I ever stop loving them, but I'll listen to some song and then suddenly fall into this pit of just deep, intense love for their music again where I can't stop listening to their music on repeat and watching live performances and looking at pics like AAAAAHHHHHH WHY IS THEIR MUSIC SO GOOOD?????? WHY IS IT PERFECT?????? WHY WERE THEY SO GENDER???????

(songs I am feeling intense brainrot over rn in case you're curious: "I Want The One I Can't Have(live)", "Stretch Out and Wait(live)", "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby", "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others(demo)", "What She Said", "The Boy With The Thorn in His Side(live)"(p.s. I Want The One I Can't Have is Martian-coded to me, pls listen)(also it reminds me of that movie I watched yesterday)

South park fan

Played some Pizza Tower again and it's amazing I retain so much muscle memory despite not playing for like 7 months

i kind of dislike that its like. focused on your sim being a landlord it seems (from surface level looking into it) But whatever

I think we should give Zora a gun and whatever happens to the Shadow Decree happens

i really don’t understand how people can be rude and cruel toward klaus who literally never even talks back like?? come on people he’s the nicest sibling there’s no need to change him

i know we all make jokes about the “correct” way to consume media but are you ever watching a reaction video or listening to a podcast or something where people are discussing a show/book/movie and you’re just like, “oh you really don’t know how to consume media properly”

auuudggghghhrhrhrbrr

So time for me to be a weird dork. Sometimes, when I am very sad, I will watch the tiny little baby show Dinosaur Train. It's amazing, it's unbelievable they made it at all.

I am firmly of the opinion that children should know things adults don't and this show provides 3 year olds with flawless simple explanations of cladistics, the scientific method, and deductive reasoning. Maybe it's silly to calm down watching preschool content but it's genuinely fantastic stuff.

For the most part the only people who know that dinosauria is a clade based largely on hip joints are weird adults who shriek over every new technique to determine pigment from fossils. So I'm extremely pleased that this show makes it extremely clear that not all ancient reptiles were dinosaurs, and that things like snakes and turtles (serpentes & testudines) and pteranodons (pterosauria) were concurrent with dinosaurs while being their whole own thing.

They even debunk myths I grew up with! "This is an oviraptor which means 'egg thief'. It was a small feathered theropod. Initially scientists thought the eggs they were fossilized with stole them to eat, but now we know they were actually loving parents just like modern birds." Remarkable shit, remarkable. No one insisted they do such a good job on a dinosaur cartoon. My favorite thing is that Buddy, a baby t-rex, is consistently shown with supinated wrists, even in scenes where he moves around he never seems to pronate which is a stupidly perfect level of detail.

As I said, I think every child should be able to, at the age of eight, give a 300 level lecture on their chosen subject, be it Minecraft or ancient Egypt or depictions of dragons across different cultures or Five Nights at Freddy's or merely several dozen types of horse and their qualities. And this is one of the only shows that is intended for toddlers that full on provides them with accurate intelligent information alongside the usual lessons about sharing or what to do if you feel left out. If a kid knows the word "albanerpeton" then they're going to probably startle the adult they're talking to out of their boots, because no one but herpetologists know the word "albanerpeton".

The fact that you can only go in like two shops and three buildings in pokemon scarlet/violet LOL
