I really want a villain who is a “MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS! MCDONALDS!” person facing a hero who is a “one black coffee” person.

partyjockers: for pointing out that there are hairy potty fans on staff and making the connection that it's the reason trans women keep getting flagged as mature
iamdealwithit: for pointing out that tumblr live literally steals your data and ip address and sells it to advertisers and the police back in December 29th of 2022, and was active up until seven hours ago today (September 5 2023) because that post started circulating again
both these people had the images from their post completely erased, their blogs completely wiped, and in partyjockers case the original post was wiped from the history of the site as well as any reblogs.
it's very strange that this has only happened twice to my knowledge and it only occurs when people point put staff's complete ineptitude and active malice towards it's userbase.
anyway screenshot this post just incase they start getting trigger happy. once is absolutely horrible censorship and should never fucking happen. twice sets a precedent that they will use this again.
idk why but it’s funny to me that the skyshrooms in totk aren't even special. a blue fungus that grows on archipelagos floating high above the kingdom through some strange magic and the description is just "it's a mushroom. quarter heart. eat it if u want but it's pretty mid tbh"
Boys be like, "I know a place," then take you to Spooky Mormon Hell Dream.

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
Everyone, you need to boycott Sia. She is planning to release a movie called Music, which was worked on with Autism Speaks. For those who don't know Autism Speaks is a autism hate group who pretends to help autistic people, but instead just spreads misinformation about them.
When people called her out for being a hypocritical bitch, she just deflected criticism.
And despite claiming to have done research on this, she didn't know this is an issue. She's a liar and doesn't care about autistic people. As a person with autism, this is insulting and I'm afraid of what misinformation will be spread by her movie. Boycott Sia at all costs, her albums, songs, and especially this movie. Let her know that Autism Speaks does not speak for us.
the main problem i have with america is that nothings old as hell there. i cant be so far away from a castle it damages my aura
(It may have gone unnoticed by some at first, but it’s definitely in there. It’s apparently morse code of … - - - … that translates to an SOS signal. This is the isolated audio of it, but the placement and style of each signal in the tracks themselves are quite telling of the characters.)
Vah Ruta: SOS comes in immediately and is quite loud. Mipha is the most pacifistic of the Champions and would have been the first one to call for help. She’s also more a healer than a fighter and probably stood the least chance of defeating her Blight. She was likely the most terrified in their situation.
Vah Rudania: SOS also comes in immediately but is fainter than in Vah Ruta. Alongside being the least technology-inclined champion, Daruk has a strong sense of family and protection. He likely projected his fainter than the rest as he didn’t want to worry the others.
Vah Naboris: The theme starts out with a jolt of piano keys, followed by the faintest SOS of the four. Urbosa is very proud and, like most Gerudo, was very battle-inclined. Combining that with her Fury means she likely would have lasted longer in her fight and not sent out the SOS immediately. My idea is that Thunderblight was too fast for her and overwhelmed her. She would have been strong enough to defeat it otherwise, and the faint SOS was her attempt to send it as she bled out.
Vah Medoh: Although coming later into the theme than the others, this SOS is most prominent and the fastest. Revali likely lasted the longest in his fight and his prideful nature meant he thought calling for help was underneath him. But he even he was overwhelmed and eventually swallowed his pride to send the message. A comment I read explained it the best. “Revali’s call was rushed. It was frantic and panicked. It was a call only someone who knew they were going to die would make”

In all seriousness though---
Korra got a ton---and I mean a TON---of hate, for daring to be a headstrong, non-genderconforming woman of color. So forgive me if I don't react well to "korrasami doesn't deserve it"
Korra already fought through enough misogyny and racism while it was actively airing. She already got enough criticism for not being the "target audience" of 8-12 age males who buy action figures. She already got enough criticism for having flaws as a woman, for not "acting ladylike". She already got enough criticism for not being white or white passing in a show that has ZERO white characters. So when you come at korrasami fans with "they don't deserve it"? Don't be surprised when korrasami fans look at it with a lens of suspicion, because korrasami already fought through the criticism, already fought through being stuck in the "dead slot" air time in nickelodeon (which they were moved to in season three, when the show runners actively started hinting at a wlw ship), already fought through being pulled off air and onto online viewing only, in 2014, for those of you who are a bit young. (Obergefell vs Hodges, the Supreme Court case which legalized gay marriage nationwide in the US, happen on June 26, 2016). "They only held hands in the finale" because that's all they could get away with at the time. They were the FIRST. Bubbeline came later. Rupphire came later. Catradora came later. There are still no notable mlm ships in children's media, so the work ISN'T done. Korrasami fans "screech and yell" at you for not understanding because you accuse them of "queerbaiting" without understanding that they were the FIRST in their time to OPENLY hint at being gay on a a children's television network. In a time, for most intents and purposes in the US, being gay was still ILLEGAL.
And by the way? The Owl House, a recent, animatec children's show on Disney, was recently canceled for not being "the Disney brand". It features a bisexual woman of color (in an EXPLICITLY wlw relationship) as the main character, not unsimilar to Korra. Misogyny is not dead. Homophobia is not dead. Know your history, and know the work isn't done.

Just so we're all on the same page with the writer's strike.
If during the strike, it's announced about AI generated shows. We are not watching them. Not even out of curiosity. Let them fail every AI generated show they try make.
The human voice can not be replaced by AI. Don't let them try.
It’s a shiny rock, what’s not to like?
I know many of you out there are feeling a bit down. Have a crow to Wouldn’t it be Nice by the Beach Boys to lift your mood.
I cannot stress enough to Tumblr staff that they do not need to change the site. Do not try to be like Twitter. Do not try to be like Reddit. Do not alter how this site works.
Tumblr will be the most popular social media site if they continue letting all these other sites implode
happy ides of March
Batman with kids.
There is a forbidden type of magic out there. It isn’t forbidden because it’s inherently evil, or forces you to lose your humanity, or requires human sacrifices - it’s just forbidden because it’s annoying as heck to fight against.
to anyone who missed it:
blorbo - a favourite character
glup shitto - star wars names are fucking nonesense
eeby deeby - youre going to hell
plinko horse - a horse that was stuck in a plinko board
scrimblo bimblo - super smash bro fans can be very angry when characters aren't in a game
This is to pride discourse like when a new guy comes into the wrestling ring w a chair. Absolute mayhem to the discursive ecology
It’s funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest.
I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.
How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?
Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.
Do you think the handwringing over Zelda changing back at the end of TOTK is rooted in the idea of "dying for a cause" or the obsession with punitive media? As in, a character who undertakes a drastic action like sacrifice MUST face consequences (i.e., death or similar punishment) in order for it to have impact or meaning? Essentially killing off Zelda would have been a disservice to her after all the development she went through and all the people she befriended post-BOTW, especially considering she avoided "inheriting a kingdom of nothing" like her father warned her. It would have been an emotionally vacant and cruel ending for her.
I think not only the obsession with punitive media (although why they might think Zelda would deserve to be punished is beyond me), but the glorification, in literary circles, of tragedy and suffering, and the corresponding conviction that hope is naive and unqualified happy endings for immature audiences. Victory, in this view, must always come at a steep price, and any remuneration of losses suffered makes the price not steep enough.
