It’s amazing how when MLB fans relate theirselves to Chloe, a 14 year old bully, according to Thomas, they are “bad/evil people”, but it’s prefectly fine for him and Winny to relate theirselves to a terrorist who beats up and manipulates old men and children, just because he feel like he has a good reason for it/he lost his wife.
🙄🙄🙄

yeah I'd like to add to my previous post
the ukrainian government being shit doesn't mean Ukrainians should be bombed and invaded by russia and that's an insane leap to make lmao or should we be carpet bombing every nation benefiting from western imperialism?

miniseries reddie meet cute(?) (so they both have glasses) where they live in the same apartment building but haven't met before and the fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night and it's dark and eddie's panicking so he can't find his glasses and just leaves without them but he's panicking a lot because like 1. fire 2. he can't see so that's not like. fun.
richie was still awake, it was like 4am and he was sitting on the couch watching TV when the alarm went off, so he's pretty much fully awake and gets out fine. but he's standing around in the cold, bored out of his mind waiting for the fire department to give them the all clear, when he notices this guy sitting on the curb, barefoot in a full pyjama set (because miniseries eddie wears pyjama sets i know he does) with his head between his knees breathing so quickly and heavily that richie can see it in the form of his back from the light of a nearby street light.
he goes over to see whats up with eddie and ends up giving him his glasses and turns out they have almost the exact same prescription and he helps eddie calm down (he's mostly fine once he can see whats going on around him and can tell theres probably no fire) and they end up really hitting it off and become best friends and fall in love <3

Listen, don't get me started on my feelings about stereotyping and cultural appropriation or all of that, because it would be long and rambling and probably not really in line with any popular opinions on the topic, which is just how it is sometimes and that's fine.
This is a small country. We've been conquerors and conquered and rose up and been conquered again. Our religion and much of our culture was eradicated over the last thousand years because it didn't gel with Christianity or whatever power was lording over us at the time. Other small countries are much closer to us at any time than some of you could ever imagine and over the course of history we sometimes traded bits of our culture, but more often than not we made stereotypes, sometimes harmless oftentimes not, about the people on the other side of the invisible line so we could set ourselves apart. This is us and that is them and it's fine if we found them strange or didn't understand their habits all that well, because we are different people and anyway they probably think the same about us.
And if all the world cares to know of our culture are the embroidered flower patterns of what used to be just one small subset, used as tacky decals in the completely wrong context, well. At least they cared to know something. At least there is something that can remain alive while the tourists from those bigger, richer, much more important countries think it's pretty enough for a souvenir. And maybe that guy there raving about the goulash recipe he loves wouldn't even eat a proper gulyás dish if you served him one, but at least he knows the word, kinda, right? Right?
And yeah, maybe that stings if you think too hard about it, but we are small and not much can be done about it and there's not much left to preserve after all this time. We try out best quietly anyway, because speaking up about it too loudly will invite the far right nazi-adjacent crowd, thumping their chests about a mythical, glorious Hungary of conquerors rather than conquered that haven't existed in centuries if ever.
...yeah, best not talk about those guys. Leave them no place to stand. They don't deserve to be here.
I'm fascinated by and a little envious of foreign cultures that, despite facing adversity, are still living, breathing things, because so much of my own has already become empty window dressing. We assimilated into the culture that is a wider Europe in the hope that being more like those richer, bigger, more powerful countries would compel them to spare some scraps from their table and yeah it fucking sucks. And we are not big or interesting enough for others to care, so it's all up to us to hold onto what we can.
And we are not alone in this. This seems to be the lot of the small and there's plenty of that here. We are in fair company.

Potion
”Ok but this is dumb, I don’t have to stay in bed—“
“Unfortunately we don’t have magical potions to fix getting turned into Hylian play-dough after a motorcycle crash,” Legend snapped, pointing at Wild. “You have to let your body heal, so don’t you dare mess that up with your antics.”
