water worsens spice. we know that.
yet after it burns our mouth down we always run to water.
this again led my philosophical ass to waste an hour thinking, but still couldn't spill it on paper.
reblog if you can write my mind.

some of y’all watching critical role have never played d&d and it shows… even in the show, plenty of times, they use AOE spells that negatively affect their friends. and y’all are asking FCG to not use an intrinsic part of their character class because it’s disrespectful to laudna????? there is never a fear that he could destroy her using that. her level is always going to be higher than what FCG can destroy. there are mechanics in this game and sometimes they exist completely outside of character choices and that is okay

y’know I respect a fan’s choice about how they want to view mizu but tiny ramble about it here. this isn’t any sort of discussion or ‘matter of fact’ essay, just a simple rant about headcannons about her being TRANS and her SEXUALITY.
Warning: extremely long.
Given the numerous limitations that would arise from traveling as a woman, I find it very difficult to understand why some people believe Mizu is transgender when it's obvious that she is hiding this information in order to survive. This was particularly true during the Edo period, when women were dehumanized and treated like objects because we only ever see them as a slave or working in a brothel (majority of the show at least). They were also seen having to depend on men for nearly everything, as demonstrated in the episode where the mother and daughter were left outside to freeze to death since her husband was not present to accompany them. Along with that subtle hints were presented to us that show how comfortable she is when in touch with her femininity like a few moments in the episode where she came back to Swords-father Eiji’s hut. Though, I can definitely see why people would label her as transmasc with the theory that she must’ve grown so accustomed to this sort of lifestyle, she’d perhaps just become transmasc in the later episodes. We’ll never know!
Next, not gonna lie, I’m insanely guilty of viewing Mizu as a bisexual women despite feeling that she is leaning more toward heterosexuality in terms of her sexuality. I have the biggest fattest crush on her so I have no problem stating how much I'm crying and wailing over this. Like c’mon, let's be real, I guarantee that 98% of simps are female, and I’m sure every single one of us has mentioned once that we can all treat her better than Mikio and Taigen. Speaking of Taigen, I HAVE to admit that him and Mizu do have the best chemistry compared to everyone in the show. It’s clear in the way she pulls him away from those shooting arrows, knocks him out becahse she fears for his safety if he follows, saving him from Fowler's castle even though she could have easily just left him to die and slain Fowler, etc. At first, I would’ve assumed she’d have trauma with men especially after Mikio’s betrayal which might’ve led her to stray away from any romantic attraction with men—or anybody in general. Honestly, I have dedicated my time to search for ANY hint (ok not rlly) that she might be attracted to women, but the only time I ever see her become flustered by one is when she appears to be taken aback by the prostitues she tried to ask for directions to the Shindo Dojo. Plus, there were only two occasions where she interacted with Akemi that people use to automatically ship them which is when she saw Akemi in her carriage (not sure of the specific name) and pinned her down in Madame Kaji's brothel. I can’t imagine them as a couple in later episodes, something I’m been dying to see. Though, it’s hard to determine what was running in her mind during the scene where they both stole glances at each other, especially since there was no sort of indication in her inner thoughts or emotions, so it’s normal to assume the above as well. (Despite that, I’m still rooting for AT LEAST bisexual Mizu because for the love of god and for the sake of all of the gay women here, PLEASE. /j)
I may make jokes about these headcannons like playfully hating on the TaiMizu ships. All in all, I’m sure the fans are mature enough to understand that these are meant to be lighthearted jokes and that people interpret a character and show in various ways and it’s normal! Even if I can’t comprehend the theory or feel as though it is a little too complicated/really negotiable, remember to support what you want, ship what you want, make whatever headcannons, nobody’s stopping you! Don’t be too afraid to just announce what you feel about the show. All I ask is to avoid SERIOUSLY cancelling someone just because of their own feelings and opinions. In the end, they’re stilll fictional characters (😞😞) who have no sort of physical form of any sort so do whatever, as long as it isn’t really THAT problematic in a sense (e.g. romanticising rape), go for it.
(Sorry for bringing her sexuality into this, I’m aware of how the show is definitely not centering on this and not every single thing has to be LGBTQ-related but I noice it’s something constantly brought up in the fandom. As someone whose phrasing and essay writing skills suck, I’m still learning bit by bit about how the world works in terms of differing views on things. I may not support your idea of a character but I RESPECT it! If I came off as rude, I’m sorry, remember it’s just my random midnight thoughts🙏)

Starship is unironically a wonderful musical, I think it's one of StarKid's best and it's definitely one of my favourites, all the actors are so amazing, like, Joey Richter makes Bug such a wonderful naive protagonist, Brant Cox is a perfect best friend sidekick in Roach, Dylan Saunders is wonderful as the villain, Pincer, and doubles up as the wonderful, simple farm boy Tootsie Noodles, not to mention the rest of the Starship Rangers are all wonderful, my favourite characters! Denise Donovan plays the charming and ditzy love interest as February really well, Lauren Lopez shines as Taz, the tough tomboy, Meredith Stepien is obviously amazing as Mega-Girl, Brian Holden is so hilarious as the pathetic yet super evil Junior, Joe Walker is WONDERFUL as Commander Up, the former tough guy turned insecure sweetheart GOD Joe Walker is on another level, and even though Joe Moses and Julia Albain play smaller roles as Krayonder and Specs, I still find their performances super fun, as well as Jim Povolo, Jaime Lyn Beatty and Nick Lang as wonderful supporting cast with great voices and great range, and the songs are wonderful, Kick It Up A Notch is a genuinely AMAZING villain song, The Way I Do is one of my favourite love songs, I Wanna Be is a perfect introductory and I want song, and Status Quo, Get Back Up, and Life are bangers, not to mention the other songs that are also good! I could talk about this musical all day, the way that there's motifs from other songs present, like how there's a part of Life in Kick It Up A Notch, sung by Pincer, echoing when Bug previously sung the lament, and how lyrics from I Wanna Be come in as well as Pincer offers Bug the chance to be everything he's wanted to be, and there's even other smaller times we notice the motifs, like how in the introductory video Bug watches from the crashed starship, the instrumental of Get Back Up is playing, and the instrumental of Life is playing when the bugs first see the starship... God I'm obsessed with this musical you do not understand

You know, we don't really know how much we can trust Vegeta’s narrative.
Maybe he's lying about everything in his past. Was he really good at purging or was he shit? Did he even do very much or kept Frieza him stuck in his room most of the time?
The only reason we can trust that he's a prince is because Frieza and his goons called him so.

Four small observations; day 330 / 2023
(1.) Everything seems to get more toxic. Every minor inconvenience online is now ornamented with death threats.
(2.) Corporations are governments. Besides the usual lobbying, the power that corporations have over our lives goes beyond legal and monetary. Corporations define culture, they adopt it, change it, and then bleed it dry. Wait for the next trend, co-opt it, repeat the cycle. Want to be offline? There's an app for that.
(3.) If you were ever in doubt, corporations now define (i.e. limit) free speech. Your legal protections of what free speech is and isn't is close to meaningless if you will not be given a platform.
Political allegiances of social network megacorps will therefore shape what content is available - what is allowed, what is shown/visible (shadowbanned), what is promoted, what is demonetized. Your opinions, more than ever, are up for sale to the highest bidder. Your mood is now a commodity too.
(4.) As Spotify showed, small creators don't matter at all. For all they care, you can literally die. Literally. They don't care. Their bottom line doesn't depend on you in any meaningful way once enshittification is complete. They only needed you to monopolize the market and drive the competition into mergers or bankruptcy. You can starve, you can get an office job, you can give up on your dreams; what really matters is other corporate overlords and celebrities (Sony BMG, Sailor Twift etc).
(5.) Influencers are just temporarily glorified employees. The money well will dry up, the markets will consolidate. See points 3 and 4. They don't care about you.

I’m convinced that I am not going to die a natural death. Maybe I’ll have an aneurysm, contract rabies or fall down the stairs and break my neck. I don’t know but every day it terrifies me to wake up and think that today’s the day.
I think the only way to combat that is to take myself out before something bad and out of my control happens to me.
I wish I wasn’t afraid of life. I think I actually really like it here.

You know, our history teacher shows us 'current event' videos, and the Panera lemonade came up and I heard so many kids saying-
'That's his fault, shouldn't have drank it knowing it had that much caffeine'
And I had barely any context to the situation and I looked at it and said 'it looks like normal lemonade..how was he supposed to know?'
I immediately could tell it was just marketed as lemonade, not as a high-caffeine energy drink. And these assholes with no context themselves are immediately assuming and calling that poor man and that poor young woman (and other people who have died because of it) stupid for not knowing, when there was NO WAY for them to know until it was too late

if I had a nickel for every time Kate Siegel played a queer woman who had a thing about gloves, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

See sometimes I do have things to post but I wait it out a few days if I posted very recently, bc then I have my slumps and don’t post for 3 months
I’ve had the same 2 wips in the works for about a month, one close to finished and the other halfway, but I haven’t touched them. Yet I started and finished 3 fics between last week and this one.
So like would you rather have the fics the same day/week they’re written even if I already posted something or wait a few and have fics spaced out? Does it rly matter?
Btw you can see what I have planned in my masterlist, the titles you see without links are coming (not) soon

so I've recently been rotating an idea in my head for the funnies where Kirby, Bandana, Meta and Dedede all get magically transported to Earth (while there's still humans present) and are also magically able to transform into human forms, which they do so for the purposes of trying to fit in while they figure out how to get home
all this to say, I randomly pictured a human version of King Dedede wearing a Hawaiian shirt and I just thought that visual was so funny and great
more about this idea under the cut:
Somehow Dedede and Meta have knowledge about what humans are like and this informs how they attempt to fit in
re: above point: they believe that if anyone asks, they have to say they're the parents and Bandana and Kirby are their kids
their human forms originally sport clothes best made to approximate their regular appearances (and while the kids may look vaguely ordinary, the outfits of the adults are not) and so on their first day in [insert well-known American city here] they look extremely out of place
the gang goes into a department store to buy normal clothes and hijinks ensue: Dedede is annoyed by struggling to find clothes in his size, Kirby wants a pink dress and no one objects, etc.
Dedede tries to cook food and messes up so badly he sets the kitchen on fire, and as they're outside watching the fire department deal with it, Dedede sits dejectedly on the ground while Meta massages his shoulders, citing the fact that humans are receptive to physical touch and it could make him feel better since they're in human form (and it does make him feel better) (I had to include at least one metadede moment in there)
the gang has a beach day and marvel at how swimming is starkly different when you've got long limbs and need to breathe air (these guys can just be underwater for so long in games oh my god)
I think that's it for my silly ideas rn I'm so sorry Kirby fandom no one should have ever let me play these games now you're plagued with my random thoughts and ideas
