I love cats. They really are just like "ah the giant flesh bag is moving once again now that the sun has risen. It is time" and then just come meow in your face before curling up into a giant potato in the creases of your silhouette

Or if you're lucky they do it on your chest with their asshole six inches from your face and you have turn away to dodge the smell but you accept it because the potato queen is using you as a throne and that's like one of the best things

Just because someone buys things doesn't mean they are showing off. Maybe they can afford to splurge and are just enjoying their life. Maybe you need to stop being so judgmental and start focusing on YOUR life and stop worrying about what someone else has that you don't. We are all at different stages of our lives. If you can't be happy and supportive of your friends and family in their happiness then you need to grow up and work on yourself.

I don't understand how the power tennis clip is abusive. If it were a cartoon the ppl saying mario bad would understand oh its jue normal sibling rivalry. (Also the oh brother episode from the super show is hilarious lol)

This particular clip being used as supposed "proof" that Mario is a bad brother has always highly amused me because, omg? He stepped on Luigi's foot. Watch out everyone, we've got a real bully over here! 🙄🤣

The game's whole vibe is meant to be very competitive, and even with that obvious fact aside: they're guys. I have two older brothers myself. I speak from experience here when I say that some people (men, mostly) really do tend to express their innate sense of familiarity in a way that often comes across as rough and boisterous. Teasing and annoying the other on purpose is perhaps the very epitome of sibling energy, and I'm personally glad that this is something we occasionally get to see in the games, if only rarely.

They're bros, darnit. Let them playfully shove and throw mock punches at each other as most brothers do!

i have autism, and i’m turning 23 in June.

something i recently realized about growing up, although i am aware i am not super old, is that there are always gonna be times that feel bad. bad in the way they did growing up. where you feel like a freak, a nerd, when you feel small. those times you say the wrong thing but you dont know why it was wrong.

but as you get older you learn who to look for. who to turn to when you feel like nothings going right. you form a group that you know will love you no matter how you talk.

i can tell when people are unsettled by my text-to-speech. i think a lot of people don’t realize how obvious they are about their discomfort. or perhaps they think i am “too autistic” to notice.

it does still get to me sometimes, but then i remember i am loved unconditionally by people i love in return. what else can you really ask for?

The Aaron Billy stuff is presumably intended as enemies to friends with them ending up as being close. I suppose with Adam gone, and no Robert - for now at least - they will want to give Aaron someone of a similar age to hang out with now and then. And the Billy and Dawn having a baby at Xmas, then Rhona being distressed by her frozen embryos being used, could all reignite Aaron's desire to have a baby of his own. Just in time for Robert to show up.

a lot of autistic hypersensitivity actually protects us when we are given the freedom and access to accommodate it. levels of light and sound that cause us pain that don’t bother neurotypicals actually give them severe medical conditions after years of not noticing that they’re willingly damaging their own body.

I always come back to you. I have had a crush on you off and on since the first time I saw you in English/social studies freshman year. Wow, has that been seventeen years?! Almost. You didn’t know I existed until senior year when we started talking, not sure how. You were in a bad relationship, I was broken-hearted and needing comfort. And from there our occasional hook ups began. It was exciting and comforting while they happened but I always cried that night. I don’t think you were ever interested in me, just my body. Our visits became less frequent after high school and by the time you asked me out I had moved on but I still regret saying no and how I handled it. A few years later I went to therapy for my cutting and thought my biggest issues would be my ex or my old best friend who had both hurt me deeply but we seemed to talk about you the most, how those hook ups hurt me. How I needed to get away from you. Years and a relationship or two later, I have been single for a long time and am genuinely content 95% of the time but when I am not I always come back to you. I always wonder what could have been. I always think you would have been exactly my type and picture you coming home from work while I cook and dance around the kitchen, you kissing me and my pregnant belly. Too much, I know but my imagination runs wild. Long story short, I just want to know what it could have been like, what it would be like if you would just ask me out on a proper date, to get to know each other, to try a real relationship.

everything everywhere all at once, a movie about the relationship between an asian mother and her lesbian asian daughter was written by two men? one of them white? I can't believe they would appropriate asían culture and femininity for profiwjfbakIfjebn3lss-

listen. eeaao is an excelent movie that handles many sensitive topics with love and care, because it was written by people who had a lot of love and care for the story, the themes, the messages. that's why it's important not to take 'write what you know' literally. maybe daniel scheinert didn't grow up in an asian household and hasn't experienced being an asian lesbian, but so what? he and daniel kwan where able to tell a good story starring asian and queer asian characters.

compare that to 'fresh off the boat', a show that was party based off of Eddie huang's life but didnt tell the story he wanted to because ABC was more obsessed with profits than telling a good story. Eddie huang has the lived experience of being an asian boy in the 90s, but that didn't really add much to the show because ABC was more concerned with making it palatable to the masses.

my point is, don't worry about writing characters who are different from you, and don't worry about writers and directors writing about characters who are different from them. the important thing to focus on is whether or not they did a good job with the story, whether or not they were able to write good characters.

Very surprised but extremely happy on how much my last post has taken off. I will always advocate for Native representation everywhere - on our screens, in our books, in our music, everywhere. Often in cinema Native representation is told from a white man's perspective and its often a stereotypical portrayal, which is the war bonnets and buckskin. Some tribes do wear that regalia for ceremonial purposes but not all do (my tribe has different regalia we wear).

I'm the most happy when Natives are shown in a contemporary context because we are often seen "of the past". So last night's episode of 'The Last of Us', showed a Native couple thriving in time of the apocalypse.

If you're not familiar or know any Native actors, writers, movies, TV shows, books, music - please read, watch or listen because there are so many great choices out there. I'm more than happy to provide recommendations.

Just because you see someone who you think is “overweight” and maybe they are, it’s not your responsibility to tell them they need to work on their self. It’s not any of your business unless they ask you! To constantly make remarks and criticize someone who doesn’t look like you is downright low and it shows that you have a major problem. How do you know the person you are judging hasn’t been working out or maybe they have lost some extra weight just recently? Now you come along with your stupid ass comments and you’ve discouraged them because they don’t fit into what you think everyone else around you should. Well let me just tell you, this girl here isn’t gonna stop or backdown! I’m in full force giving it all I got and sure I’ll have days I mess up but you know what? I’m gonna succeed and then you are gonna see that I am so much more than my weight, but you pathetic sob are never gonna be anything except the messed up creature you are.

Question, doo your version of the toads respect Luigi?

They do! :3 Partly because they're SO darn admirative of Mario they basically agree with him on everything (and seeing him view Luigi in such high regards inspires them to do the same by default), but also because Luigi is genuinely perceived by the mushroom folks as very likeable due to his kind and helpful nature. ✨

Mario is their idol, the Kingdom's champion and a legendary athlete worthy of every praise, but in their eyes, Luigi is also a celebrity in his own right.^^

"this song is a classic!" i proclaim. this song came out 15 years ago. it is a classic in the sense that i love it and it's been a while since i've listened to it.

Oh god... I think I need to make and index page / tag list...

Straight up deleted my old blog that I had for years. Wasn't bringing me joy, you could say. Had about a thousand drafts (for no reason) and I always had a side-blog problem. Kept creating and deleting side blogs for different interests/Fandom. Just got messy. I pretty much abandoned my main blog because I was so indecisive about what I wanted it to be.

This one will just be a bit of everything. And I'm promising myself that I won't create any side blogs this time around. It's a shame about my old one. Had so many memories. Watched the SPN and game of thrones finale on that blog and posted some reactions I won't get back. But this will be good.

New me, more chaos.
