There are some events so significant that they split your life into Before and After, and unfortunately my life has been split a couple times now for not so fun reasons.

But now I finally have a good event. My life is now split into:

Before I attended my first SHINee concert at Belluna Dome.

After I attended my first SHINee concert at Belluna Dome,

and didn't mind the crappy seat or the fact I couldn't take photos because I was breathing the same air as them and 1000 Shawols and screaming all the fanchants,

and realized that their Japanese was on the same level as mine and I finally understood them joking with each other,

and the very first song was Spoiler which is one of my favorites as if it was Meant to Be,

and seeing only four presences on stage did hurt but not as much as I thought it would,

and due to said crappy seat I had resigned myself to seeing only the backs of their heads or flesh colored blurs, but then they got on that rocket ship thing and went around the stadium and I Saw Their Faces, Not On A Screen But In Real Life, And I Waved And SHINee Waved And I Could Pretend That They Actually Saw Me

...my one regret was that due to a) being broke most of my life, and b) honestly having struggled with openly expressing my SHINee love due to Reasons, I went to the concert without a stitch of merch or even a pearl aqua shirt to signal that I've been a Shawol for 14 years.

I'm fixing that now.

i need to scream to someone so i came back to tumblr

i thought infold having to censor the banner ad with stick figures was a funny ha ha bit but no, nay, nope, nah

i am physically unwell, i need an adult, i am shooketh

first of all we knew xavier loves to eat but that boy went down and ate

no euphemism, no implication, no way that he was doing anything else

and then the thrusting???? the actual POV thrusting?

and then he said "come" and i said "pardon???"

is this allowed? is this legal? i haven't blushed this hard since i was 13 yall i was sweating, halfway through i started hiding behind my fingers and screeching

1980's inspired Teen Titans

Here's some fun Teen Titans redesigns I did for the heck of it. I'm still working on Blackfire, and I am hoping to get around to some of the others. I know the roster of characters I have right now doesn't make any particular type of sense. But I just started drawing the characters that I like to draw and let it grow from there :)

[dragon-in-a-fez]

said this as part of a larger point in a reblog but I'm gonna make it its own post:

humans have the right to do things that are mildly bad for us sometimes.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

you have the right to eat way too many pierogi and make yourself a little sick. you have the right to go skydiving. you have the right to pull an all-nighter building the Imperial City of Tamriel in Minecraft. you have the right to get drunk in your living room watching football.

life is not about making the safest most logically correct choice at all times. you're a blob of salty meat piloting a flesh mech and you get to act like it.

[problemnyatic]

This is called dignity of risk and it's a big topic in disability rights spaces. id elaborate but im fuckin wiped

[fedorahead]

it's always funny how people will advocate for bodily autonomy when it comes to certain things but then shy away from anything they personally wouldn't do to their own body. like yeah, that's why it's your body buddy. i can do what i want with mine.

[lakevida]

when my brother and i were kids we got in trouble for using the term "dadding" to mean making a promise you have no intent to follow thru on which is a testament to this country's disdain for creative types

[cumdumpstiel]

hey i know everybody on this website is geriatric by now, but if i have any younger followers, even just a handful:

you do not need those full-body deodorant products. i promise

[cumdumpstiel]

nobody was buying or selling this shit before like five years ago. if it was sold, it was a niche product for people with really specific needs (ie, medical issues causing extreme sweating and/or body odor)

these companies are blatantly manipulating you with the oldest advertising trick in the book:

invent a fake problem

convince you that you HAVE this fake problem

"helpfully" sell you a product that claims to fix the problem

you do not have to feel embarrassed or ashamed of your body. you are not some rancid stinky beast who needs to be slathered with perfumes and fragrances just to feel comfortable out in public. your body is normal and there is no reason to be applying full-body perfumes to ward off normal human smells

[cumdumpstiel]

and if they tell you to put it on/in your pussy. DO NOT do that. that company is LYING to you. it is not safe or gentle. do not perfume your vagina.

I love how whenever ATLA recognizes Sokka is smart enough to solve a problem but it’d be too fast they just stick him in some kind of situation. Like he COULD’VE stopped jet from drowning a town so they tied him up and dumped him in a forest. He COULD’VE figured out what that spirits deal was so they lost him in the spirit world for 24 hours.

[sailing-ever-west-deactivated20]

One time they just stuck him in a hole in the ground for a whole episode.

[ectojester]

This is how writers should deal with characters who are too smart for the arc instead of making them suddenly dumber for no apparent reason.

If you frequently find yourself in random situations while your friends happen to be experiencing problems maybe you, too, are too smart for the narrative.

[miyku]

Originally called “Saints Row Cinco”, Would’ve been a sequel to Saints Row The Third

The Original Saints members were all going to return as major characters

SR4 would’ve been retconned as well as Johnny Gat’s death in SR3, continuing from there, The Boss and crew would leave Steelport to take over Santo Ileso

There would’ve been a secret mission where you confront and kill Dex

Designed to appease old fans and check off all their requests

The tone was going to follow a 20/80 rule, 20% SR3, 80% SR2 style

Pierce’s voice actor even recorded lines for the original version of this game

After THQ Nordic acquired Deep Silver, They outright rejected the story and FORCED Volition to re-write the story

THQ Nordic and Deep Silver put heavy restrictions on what the characters can say including swear words (in an M rated game fyi)

Another version of the story got written that was a full reboot but kept all the original saints, no student loans storyline. This was also rejected by THQ Nordic

Ultor would’ve returned instead of the Marshals

Skill Tree was split into Wealth/Fame/Muscle

Body Shields were going to return but removed due to Deep Silver calling it “too violent.”

Criminal Ventures originally were going to allow you to customize the city itself, with choosing businesses to place into the open world rather than being an activities screen like in the final game

“Proclamation” system allowed you to put laws into your controlled districts, such as forcing a dress code or inacting stand-offs as a way to resolve arguments

Full Cribs and customization to them all returned and got cut

You could customize all cribs and the church that lets you place items anywhere you want

Buying furniture from furniture stores would’ve been a feature

NG+ was cut

Cheats would’ve been an endgame feature unlocked by discovering and unlocking a secret massive genki pyramid and then useable in NG+, Final game shipped without cheats at launch.

The larping mission originally was just one mission where you’d use real guns against them, the dev team was somehow convinced that the game could popularize larping and shipped the terrible larping missions in the final game

All info comes from MrSaintGodzilla21 who was invited to Volition to see all of this in 2020

I think the solution to kids on the Internet is to have specific, kid friendly spaces on the Internet. Kids wouldn't come across "adult content" on YouTube if barbie dot com still had flash games and this is a hill I will die on.

[aetherograph]

Oh! Then I know the EXACT person you should be mad at! Michael O'Rielly! He's the one that gutted the Children's Programming Rules, which covered internet as well as television.

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

HELLO?

[aetherograph]

#so the death of the Saturday morning cartoon is THIS motherfuckers fault?????

Indeed it is! The FCC controls how much of broadcasting has to cater to children and that includes how educational that programming has to be, and exactly how much and in what way you are allowed to advertise to kids. That's why for the entire 90s and up to the early 00s, kids shows had shorter commercial breaks, and ads that talked about a website had to say "ask your parents before going online", and those websites had to be non-commercial--i.e. they could not be shops, and could not have any way you could spend money or were encouraged to spend money. That's why Barbie.com was flash games, and O'Rielly LIFTING that ban is why Barbie.com now takes you directly to a storefront instead.

If you're mad about Saturday Morning Cartoons, dark patterns in ads targeted at children, online protections for kids, or wondering why educational children's shows aren't as much of a thing as they used to be, get mad at the FCC and the person in charge of it who is gutting the Children's Brodcasting Rules (sometimes called the Kid Vid Rules), because those rules control all of that!

While O'Rielly is responsible for gutting the rules in 2019, he was replaced in 2020 by Nathan Simington as head of the FCC, and Simington resigned in June of this year. The post remains vacant as of the time of this writing (August 31, 2025).

And a side note: Things like KOSA and SCREEN and all those other censorship bills that use "think of the children" are not going to protect children at all; if you want to protect kids online, there is already a way to do that it's called the Kid Vid Rules and the FCC is the one that can update and change them to keep up with the times! It doesn't need a congress vote, it already got voted on in 1990!

every day british actors wake up and think to themselves fuckkkkk i HAVE to help the incredibly bigoted woman make more money so she can funnel it into killing trans people i have to do it bro if i don't do it i will die

[beaniebaneenie]

In case y'all needed proof that continuing to engage with HP and fucking over trans folks is in fact a CHOICE, Daniel Radcliffe has refused to even have a cameo, despite being repeatedly asked.

For those that don't speak British, this is about as close as he can get to officially, publicly saying, "for FUCK'S sake, get that thing away from me and stop associating me with it, I do not want my name attached to that bigotry."

Daniel consistently redirects the topic away from Jo and toward the Trevor Project, an organization he has been heavily involved with for almost 20 years. He puts his money where his mouth is and uses his platform and his reach to amplify queer voices and queer struggles. He explicitly supports trans people, and is choosing to walk away from a very large and very easy paycheck, because he values trans lives over anything he could get from HP.

Emma and Rupert also won't go near this reboot. Jo has stated the reason she's doing it is BECAUSE the three of them refuse to support her vile hatred.

Every actor who puts their name on this, on any level, deserves to own the choice they're making with their whole chest. If they decide the paycheck is worth being ten toes down on transphobia? They're adults. They chose. And they deserve to be treated accordingly. Actions speak louder than words.

And if you give it a moment of attention or a single penny, you deserve to face the consequences of that choice too.
