“minor character death” but not death of a minor character, just a character experiencing a non-major death

[ectokelpeigh]

I made this post with Danny Phantom in mind and that’s what most of the tags have been. I wasn’t surprised when I saw some anime-lookin names, Merlin, and some version of Robin. I’m upset I didn’t see this coming

That’s actually pretty clever.

Writers, take note!

[heroineimages]

Ooh! I’ll have to remember this strategy…

[z0mborb]

some of you may've heard about that fancy "bionic reading" typefont thats supposed to be easier for neurodivergent people to read (if you're unfamiliar, it bolds the first few letters of each word to make it easier to follow)

well guess what, its locked behind a $500 a month API to write in because fuck you!

introducing, Not Bionic Reading! it is literally just the bionic reading typefont but for free. god bless neocities

Tech bros are on another world just make a framework like the rest of us.

anyone who can, pls reblog!

flash games actually raised me more than my parents did and im genuinely gonna miss them

[cerastes]

You don’t have to miss them, you literally can keep playing them, they are being archived.

Also Newgrounds has been preparing for this for years now and they made their own free software that can still run Flash games.

[as-if-and-only-if]

if you can’t find your favorite game there, try bluemaxima’s flashpoint! they’ve archived over 70,000 flash games! :)

can we talk about how in period dramas/fantasy lately there’s this trend where there’ll be one to three background poc with barely any lines and separated from any real-life context of their existence in, like, an 18th century french court

[battlestar-royco]

i’m talking about stuff like gugu mbatha raw as a literal set piece in live action beauty and the beast (2017), gemma chan race-bending a noblewoman in mary queen of scots (2018), chiwetel ejiofor dying halfway through maleficent: mistress of evil (2019), the unnamed black woman who teases daisy ridley in ophelia (2018), the black guard in the background of frozen 2 (2019)… it’s neo-tokenism.

we’ve done away with the Black Best Friend trope and moved on to “poc extras dressed in european clothes in a european period drama” or “racebent white historical/mythical figures.” and they do this rather than idk showing immigrants or emissaries or depicting actual real-life historical poc who had been involved in the conflict, or just centering the story around non-white characters.

[battlestar-royco]

i didn’t expect this to get more than 20 notes lol so i’m glad this resonates with people even though i didn’t think this phenomenon was on the tumblr radar AT ALL. it’s a relatively new trope, but it’s clearly picking up in popularity.

i just wanted to add: i do think this trope is a start toward normalizing the idea of poc being present in history pre-us civil rights. and i think the context is slightly different for fantasy movies. but it’s also insidious because in a way it only validates those people who think diversity is forced and “historically inaccurate.” by no means am i saying there needs to be a complex reason why poc are in a movie about, say, renaissance italy, or that we need to stop race-bending. because poc WERE there, as they were all over the world. so why not tell the stories about them? we need to stop accepting this lazy “color-blind” tokenism and start giving more care and value to the richness of poc’s experiences in history.

that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao

Octavius: I'm a moderate, peaceful and godly man, truth to be told.

Larry: Just yesterday you threw a chair at Jedediah.

Octavius: Yes, which was a moderate, peaceful and godly compromise from the table I was initially planning on launching at that bastard.

declan lynch + “declanisms”

call down the hawk

[saywhatjessie]

#okay I really think we don’t talk enough about how hard he is trying though #that last one I mean #the non-declanism version of that was HEY DIPSHIT YOU RUINED MY ENTIRE FUCKING DAY #but he is TRYING! to be non-confrontational! that passive voice and those I-statements! #it is so much more work to talk like that and he is doing it to try to meet Ronan halfway #and Ronan just like shoves him backwards #aaaagh #and I mean the rest of them all of them #the reason it’s so absurd and funny and loser sounding is that this 21 year old is talking to 2 teenagers #the way that business managers talk to their employees #so on its face that’s condescending and weird and impersonal #but the REASON that’s business speak is that it’s supposed to force-team the employees #it’s supposed to trick them into feeling like ‘we’re all on the same side here #we’re working together’ #(and it doesn’t work because it’s clumsy and transparent and exploitative) #this is how bosses speak when they are saying ‘we’re all like one big family here’ #stop and think about the fact that Declan has to talk to his actual family like he’s trying and failing to convince them that they’re family #just…. #I can’t (via @toast-the-unknowing)
