Thinking of unreality

Everyone on Tumblr who has never shared a single post expressing anger over the suffering of Palestinian people or offering them a shred of compassion or solidarity but queues endless reblogs about how the Israeli people are not the Israeli state and how Israelis are against the war, actually, and how Netanyahu and his ilk are the few bad apples rotting the barrel and how Israelis are the real victims in all this (this is the quiet part but some of you say it out loud as well), blatantly ignoring, just for example, recorded instances of ordinary Israeli people celebrating the bombardment of Gaza and the deaths of Palestinians both online and in real life and the explicitly settler-colonialist motivations of the founders of Israel that form the basic foundation of Israeli society today- to all those people, I just want to say, I hope one day you understand exactly what lies behind your own intellectual, political, moral dishonesty. I hope the horror of that understanding never leaves you. I hope it haunts you until the day you die.

dream batman storyline: bruce comes back to wayne manor for whatever reason and realizes the place is haunted and has been for ages, he just got acclimatized to it and never realized. so he calls in zatanna just to make sure and she's like "you...grew up here? you raised more than one of your children here?? that explains so much. bruce the vibes of this house are fucking rancid." bruce angsts about this in the background while zatanna spends the rest of the arc fighting the ghosts of waynes past/having house of leaves-esque adventures in a wayne manor warped by the trauma of its residents (like this post) bc there are too many batman books and not enough zatanna books

i’m not making a value judgment on this, like it isn’t a big deal or anything, but one of the more interesting parts of travel recently is that whenever you ask someone where they’re from, 99.999% of the time, someone who is from like, sweden or ireland or india or canada or anywhere will say the country they’re from, whereas americans will say their city or sometimes their state. if you ask an american abroad where they’re from they’ll almost never say “the US” they’ll say like missouri or chicago or some shit. it’s interesting

[dingdongyouarewrong]

so far the main responses to this are like 1) ‘the USA is really big’, and 2) ‘if you just say the country they’ll ask you what city so it’s skipping a step and being helpful’ and… i know i said this wasn’t really a bad thing before but this is actively changing my mind. american brainrot is thinking the US is the only country that’s large and has regional cultural identities or that people won’t ask polite followup questions to folks from any other country

[ghostarcherthinks]

actually americans who are like "the us is soo culturally diverse... other countries just aren't on our level... " can shut the fuck up. i could travel to any of the states bordering mine in india and start speaking in the language commonly used in my state and i'd be able to count the number of people who understood me clearly and fluently on one hand bc each of those states has its own commonly used languages, none of which i am expected to know either. also america isn't the only country in the world with a federal government structure or high state-level political autonomy. grow up.

comic book supervillains are so powerful. if teenagers routinely bullied me for my life choices i would change my name and flee the country

GQ Zhu Yilong Mini Movie - Subbed by Wenella on YouTube

[ghostarcherthinks]

This would have been tagged nsfw if most of us weren't in lockdown.

[elvencantation]

i’ve been crying this whole time

[ghostarcherthinks]

Everything about this scene had already killed me when I watched it the first time but since then I have learned that they are each wearing the same outfit that they were wearing when the other saw them for the first time and also I have realized the song playing here is "Flying Across Time" which I have been listening to on loop recently (both the version by the actors and this version) and I have been dying all over again.

[ghostarcherthinks]

Obviously I can't draw, I haven't done either of them, especially Zhu Yilong, even the least little bit of justice, but I'm gonna practise and get better and do a full screencap redraw of this scene someday.

i finished mdzs… can’t believe chapter 100 is real

[ghostarcherthinks]

y'all need to get on wwx's level, if u don't confess to the guy who's been in love with u since u were teenagers that u return his feelings while you, him, his brother and your nephew are being held hostage by ur nephew's other uncle, what is even the point

My Favorite Weilan Moments: 36/?

[ghostarcherthinks]

I mean this is peak Married™ but also I have questions about when exactly Zhao Yunlan set alarms for Shen Wei's lecture schedule? Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if he did it as early as the first couple of episodes, and if the team gave him judgmental looks he made some transparent excuse about how the professor is a suspect in several ongoing cases and obviously Zhao Yunlan needs to know the right times to go ~interrogate~ him in his office without disrupting classes.

Guardian rewatch: Shěn Wēi x Zhào Yúnlán

[ghostarcherthinks]

If I had no context I would absolutely assume they bone onscreen good job op

[ghostarcherthinks]

I will have more thoughts on this later but rn I'm gonna say that in Fallen London if you have high Watchful, you're a follower of the Beholding, if you have high Persuasive, you're a follower of the Web, if you have high Shadowy, you're a follower of the Lonely and if you have high Dangerous, you're a follower of the Slaughter.

Also, the Neath comes into existence as part of a successful collaboration between the Buried, the Dark, and the Stranger. The Flesh is having a grand old time re: the whole Seeking the Name storyline. The End and the Vast probably prefer to avoid London. The Spiral uses mirrors as its main motif instead of doors.

when jonny sims has to come up w/ a new fear avatar he just flips a coin and if it’s tails he makes a ridiculously hot woman with a dominating personality and if it’s heads he makes a crusty old man. 

[ghostarcherthinks]

If the coin rolls under the couch he makes a twink named Michael

the vincent van gogh episode of doctor who but instead the doctor takes ts eliot to the premiere of the cats movie

[ghostarcherthinks]

This should happen because just like vincent deserved to know what we have done with his work eliot deserves to know what has been done to his in other news I am fresh out of a compulsory course on modernism and have decided ts eliot has no rights

I keep forgetting that NT people don’t do math the same way people with ADHD do it until I try to explain my thought process and get weird looks from people who are like “how the FUCK did you do that?”

whoops

[technoskittles]

and for those of you who DON’T know what I’m talking about I’ll give you an example

42 + 29 = 71

for neurotypical people, they use the method we were all taught in grade school where you add 9 + 2 to get 11 and then move the extra one over to make 4 + 2 + 1 which equals 7 to give you 71

but the way I do it (as many other people with ADHD as I’ve come to find out) is this:

okay so you have 42 + 29. if you take 1 away from 42 and give it to 29 to make it an even 30, you now have 41 + 30 which is an easy 71

or, another problem: 53 + 88

round that 88 up to 90 and take the two from 53 so you have 51 + 90. but wait I can make this easier. take 10 more from 51 to make 90, 100 and now you have 41 + 100 which equals 141

it’s just…so much faster? and makes so much more sense to me

[technoskittles]

also? the math teachers that always took off points for kids not showing their work?

fucking HATED that. as someone who could get from point A to point D in my head in a split second, I felt like showing my work was often a waste of time when sometimes it felt like I just automatically knew the answer

or, if I did put down my work, I went through a process that wasn’t taught and would get points reduced anyway because it wasn’t the way we were taught just because my brain worked differently than the rest of the class. my answer was always right. they just didn’t like how I got it

never did like that much 

[technoskittles]

also, this is another way of doing it that I just saw on facebook that I’ve also done before

because I do things to that extent too

so if you give me something like 37 + 45 I’ll go “well 30 + 40 is 70 and 7 + 5 is 12 so 70 + 12 is 82″

there’s just…so many ways to do math that make more sense than the way I was taught

[technoskittles]

this post got a lot more popular than I was expecting wow

I’ve seen some people reblogging this saying they don’t have adhd but have autism and yes! People with autism do this too! I’ve learned that a lot of people with adhd and/or autism do things that overlap and this is one of them!

i’m sorry but these are the only valid tags on this post

The other day I was timing some food. I put it into the oven at 6:27 and it had to cook for half an hour. Instead of 6:27 + 30 minutes = 6:57, my brain went “it’s 3 minutes before 6:30, so add half an hour, take it out 3 minutes before 7. Which is 6:57.”

Hello I’m in this picture and don’t like it

[ghostarcherthinks]

So I haven't watched any of the ST other than TFA (and didn't care for it, frankly) and the leaks about TROS are wild like Abrams really did That? Look, Star Wars was never great cinema, even the OT had plot holes big enough to drive a Death Star through, to say nothing of the prequels, but at least they managed to tell a reasonably coherent, entertaining story while all the sequel trilogy has done is pander to the reylos and invalidate Everything accomplished in the previous movies. This is what we got in exchange for the Expanded Universe?? Every Star Wars novelist understood the material they were working with better than Abrams could ever hope to.

In conclusion, too bad there haven't been any new Star Wars films since the prequels other than Rogue One, Solo, and TFA, but we have all these animated shows! The Mandalorian is great too! And maybe someday some other creative team will do something worthwhile with the female and PoC protagonists introduced in TFA that is not based around a white manchild's story!

FUCK INDIA

[kertik]

Reminder! India is a fascist state. It's an ethnocolonial state. It's a communal state. It's an occupier. It's an oppressor.

Delhi Police (under Home Ministry) opened fire at protesting students at Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi today. They were peacefully protesting. 3 of them are now reportedly dead.

[ghostarcherthinks]

Clarification: No students have died, but the police did open fire at them, and they also broke into the campus, and fired tear gas shells into the library where the students had taken refuge.

Fuck the fascist state machinery.
