Too lazy to create separate blogs when I join a new fandom. Enjoy the random fandoms.

So far in LA an Australian news reporter has been shot in the leg by a rubber bullet, a British reporter has been shot by a sponge bullet and sent to the hospital for emergency surgery. A NY Post reporter has been shot in the head with a rubber bullet and went to the hospital for a large bruise on his forehead, whiplash and neck pain, and CNN reporters were handcuffed and escorted away being told to not come back or they will be arrested BECAUSE they are reporters.

It seems like all reporters there to give the real story are being targeted by police/ICE/military in LA.

Amazing pottery skills

[madgastronomer]

Flawless

[small-puddle-oceanographer]

This is the most technically proficient pottery throwing I've ever seen. The economy of motion? Literally everything in one pull, one squeeze. Absolutely no even minor touch ups required. This shit is like watching a skilled magician even as someone who knows how to throw on the wheel. I am watching this the way that someone who is great at a few card tricks watches Penn and Teller.

Russia is the largest country in the world and takes up a ton of the Asian continent, and people are surprised about Asian Russians?

[cwicseolfor]

Russia is an empire, and empires quickly move to consolidate their image externally and to a high degree internally as the image of their upper class.

That invisibility is an effective tool of suppression within the empire - representation as the sole province of the wealthy - and outside it where the marginalized populations don’t even enter the public consciousness, let alone concern.

the funniest and most tragic moment in steven universe is the scene that implies that Pearl pulls bitches like a professional dog walker but doesn't know how phones work so her place on earth is being a life-changing futch fling for every dyke on the east coast there's probably a gay bar in maryland where they talk about the twiggy bird chick that eats milf pussy like it's the last edible thing on earth and they dont even know about the city full of thousand year old neon lesbian amazons who are pent up 24/7 from The War and leaving room for jesus cause they're always hanging out with their softboy nephew who might be the second coming of christ

Matt explaining why Beau and Caleb (from a DM's perspective) are the perfect characters for a campaign validates my feelings why c3 wasn't working as well as c2. You just need characters with high INT who investigate, who are interested in the world and their surroundings and who drive the party.

Not a popular opinion on tumblr I know but I would argue character death is good for stories, actually, and often a death with long narrative consequences is much better use of a character than having them linger with no more important plot beats to hit.

Character death isn’t writers being mean to viewers or something characters don’t “deserve,” it’s an important part of narrative and plotting to give stories stakes and emotional beats. The work making you have an emotion is in fact the point, not something to avoid.

tiktok is such an awful app, it's almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse

[pallidprincess]

[lierdumoa]

No, no, no, you see on tiktok an algorithm feeds you misinformation. On Tumblr I feed myself misinformation from my charcuterie board of hand-selected unhinged mutuals.

[lierdumoa]

None of that mass market junk. Only artisanal, small batch, sustainably cultivated, fair trade horseshit.

Why Marinette Dupain-Cheng is an inconsistent character

The reason is that Marinette is written in two different ways, depending on what scene she's in. She's sometimes written like an actual character, and sometimes written like a cliche main character.

Despite all the clumsiness stuff, she's actually a pretty popular girl in school. She's class president, almost everyone likes her, and she's had more people crushing on her than any other character. And her being popular isn't a problem, not every teenage superhero needs to be Peter Parker. The issue is that some episodes act like she is Peter Parker. Like "Sublimation" saying she's this socially awkward weirdo who doesn't know how to make friends.

Also from "Sublimation" is Alya saying she won't change her mind once she's made it up. This is a common trait of protagonists, but it's not how Marinette has been previously characterized. She's been shown to put a lot of faith in the opinions of others, even in cases where they're totally wrong, like with Adrien in "Chameleon."

There's also episodes like "Penalteam" that claim she has a flaw of trying to do everything herself. That's also a common lesson main characters need to learn, but wasn't the whole rest of season 4 about Cat Noir being upset about her recruiting other heroes? How is that compatible with not trusting others to get the job done?

It honestly feels like plenty of the writers of this show only half-watched the rest of it, and therefore have an extremely shallow understanding of Marinette's character. And this problem of being written two ways isn't limited to Marinette, but it is most prevalent with her.

doctor hooves is such a pop culture specimen and everything that happened with him could and would not have happened at any other point in time

Legitimately the funniest thing just happened in our virtual book group after someone rec’d a vampire romance to me and someone else piped up that it had a “problematic age gap.”

In a vampire romance novel.

Like, yah. I sure fucking hope so.

[wizardarchetypes]

so many staples of vampire fiction are deeply troubling in that they might be genuine horror in real life, but if you wrote vampire fiction without them it'd be like being served an empty cone sans ice cream.

people often ask me for vampire lit recommendations but i know based on what they've said that they'd absolutely hate 99% of the foundational themes of vampire lit so it's always just

[thebibliosphere]

If I let a vampire drink my blood and they turn out to be 40 something with the same life experiences as me to “avoid power imbalances,” I’d be so pissed.

I’d be like what do you mean I took my expensive heme iron supplements for this. No, give it back. I’m anemic I can’t be giving it out for this.

[wizardarchetypes]

100% you need to ID vampires before you give them blood and if they have a real legal ID they're too young to be bothering us.

[thebibliosphere]

If it’s not scrawled on faded parchment, I don’t want it.

just wanted to note that Robert De Niro has always been an outspoken supporter of the LGBT+ community.

his father, Robert De Niro, Sr., was gay and he made a documentary called Remembering the Artist: Robert De Niro, Sr. that celebrated him, his art, and his identity in 2014.
