I think Joan of Arc's fursona would be a dog called Joan of Bark, but my partner thinks it would be a phoenix, which seems insensitive to me, but neither of us are furries, so I guess we don't really get a say either way.

I promise I’m not trying to be pretentious here. Jeanne d’Arc’s last name is d’Arc.  An overly-literal translator insisted it stood for “of Arc”, and that’s why we know her as Joan of Arc.  At the time, she was more commonly known as “Jeanne la Pucelle”, meaning “Joan the Maiden” or “Joan the Virgin”.

anyways since her main attack strategy was “hit them until they stop moving” I think she’d be a gorilla.

i do understand the appeal of reaction videos because in a way it simulates the experience of showing your friend a thing you like and watching them laugh at all the funny moments. and you get to go haha yeah i knew youd laugh at that part. i feel so correct about liking this. feed my ego mr freeman.

step one: replace entire personality with open, festering wound

step two: contort absolutely all stimuli in my environment to relate to the my wound in some manner, ideally one which justifies random acts of unbridled aggression and vengeance

step three: marry a girl with generational wealth

I went to noob island and nobody recognized you. They said you haven't been the same ever since you went Pro. Some even said you became Hacker. I don't know who you are anymore.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

all movies are for children because the moving image is inherently juvenile. to be entertained by it even moreso

[mamawasatesttube]

the thing about media literacy is that understanding why the author chose to specify that the curtains are blue is the same skill set as understanding that the way the author characterizes all black characters as angry or all chinese characters as meek and silent is racist. it is the same skill set as being able to identify when a news source is biased or when someone is feeding you propaganda. the ability to ask "why did this person choose to present this premise in this specific way?" is a critical skill in a world full of misinformation. why are the curtains blue? maybe it's a characterization detail. maybe it's extraneous worldbuilding. why is this character written as being right all the time? maybe you're intended to disagree with them. maybe it doesn't matter. maybe you should still ask why.

sometimes two characters are codependently, toxically enmeshed, doomed to mutually define and haunt each other forever. and not fucking.

It's actually so cringe that in English mount Everest is named after some rando geographer who was against this naming and it passed only because the British were too fucking racist to be concerned with local names or pronunciations.
