Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

MATTHEW. YOUR FUCKING HUSBAND IS ON THE FLOOR

[ganondorf]

the thing is so many people try so hard to "understand" ganondorf but in order to do that you have to acknowledge that

1. loz is imperialist and orientalist in its themes

2. its narrative in some games functions more as propaganda rather than any sort of fairy tale-esque fantasy story

that is to say the orientalist themes wrt to ganondorf start when they decided to take the main antagonist, originally only a non-human monster, and portray him as a man from the desert with every possible caricaturization

and, a lot of the way that the hylian monarchy is portrayed is based on both medieval europe and japanese myth — the latter especially embodying the "divine emperor" ideology, which was something that was often utilized to justify imperialist aggression from japan, by inculcating the belief that the emperor was divinely ordained to rule the world

and b. what i mean that loz narratively functions more like propaganda than a fairy tale-esque fantasy in some games, is that there is no coherent moral statement to be found. particularly in ocarina of time and totk (the latter of which is sort of a revisit of the former) ganondorf does not actually function as any sort of parable. which is why any attempts to analyze and determine his goals beyond "evil guy from the desert wants to steal our grass" hits a dead end. you can't determine any sort of moral statement or anything about ganondorf's actual character just from looking at the source material alone. which is why so many people who analyze these things often come to these conclusions — not because we're trying to "defend" or ""woobify"" ganondorf, but because the writing in loz often makes it hard to come to any other conclusion with him besides this "fear of the other," that the demon from the desert will ruin everything you know and love

i'm quoting someone else on this but ganondorf as portrayed in canon is only whatever he needs to be in order to justify the fantasy of killing him

[ganondorf]

people in the notes praising wind waker for "subverting" these issues and while i do love wind waker dearly, i do want to point out that it is still based in orientalist ideals. the representation of the desert as a harsh, hostile, and unlivable land serves to perpetuate orientalist tropes as well

Aladdin, Al-Qaeda, and Arabs in U.S. film and TV is a great read but specifically i want to point out a specific quote and how it relates to ganondorf in wind waker:

Such pejorative association between topography and cultural identity shapes the mise-en-scene and is the initial locus of much of Hollywood’s negative portrayal of Arabs. As Shaheen puts it, “The depiction of Arabs always begins with the desert.” As with depictions of Africa where the jungle connotes both danger and cultural “backwardness,” the “hostility” of the desert environment often translates into attitudes about the people who live there.

So I've got this friend whose nervous because she's trans and dating this guy who she hasn't told yet because they've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry.

So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.

She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal.

He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet...

"Oh you have a dick?"

"... yeah."

He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says

"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride.

My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network and thought to him self "Oh they don't think I can't please my girl, but I'll show them!"

[nealashitposts]

I do feel the need to add that later he excitedly tell the group that as a straight guy, he never thought that skill would be useful outside hotdog eating contests.

[hyperrbolic-orange]

"Man its too bad that im straight since I've got like no gag reflex and all."

"Honey, I must tell you, i am in fact trans and I have not had bottom surgery."

"My god... everything's coming up Jason."

Remember when Tumblr just invented a Greek god

[one-in-lemillion]

Oh @hyena-bro my sweet summer child, allow me to tell you the story of Mesperyian, the goddess who never was and never will be.

So it all started with this tumblr post, right?

And obviously people mentioned the goddesses Aphrodite and Persephone, and the benefits of answering such goddesses as the most beautiful. But then Tumblr user 28weekslaterhater mentioned to answer the goddess Mesperyian (most beloved daughter of Hades) as the most beautiful. According to them, “jealous ho” Aphrodite burnt half of Mesperyian’s face off in a blind rage for being more beautiful than her.

This post began to spread to the fact-check-less masses of Tumblr, and more mythology sprouted up about this so-called “Mesperyian”, how she was the goddess of torture and punishment (even though a goddess of punishment already existed) and had to wear a cool mask because of the aforementioned face burning.

Everyone took it as gospel for years until various Tumblr users pointed out “hey if you happen to just… look up this goddess, the only thing you’ll find is this Tumblr post”. After that, it had been exposed that Mesperyian never fucking existed and that Tumblr user just completely made them up on the fly.

And that’s how Tumblr invented a Greek goddess

[ike-loves-men]

[itchyghost]

That’s one of the most greek god mythology things I’ve ever heard and based on that she’s to be treated as new to the roster.

[appendingfic]

Hades: I’ve only had Mesperyian for a year and a half but if anything happened to her I’d kill everyone on Earth and then myself

[krystal-prisms]

Oh the power of lack of fact checking

[official-book-wizard]

The lack of fact checking was how we got Greek mythology in the first place.

[theowlsarequeer]

Guys this is a DIRECT quote from the Google page on her:

Mespyrian may not be a real Greek goddess, but gods are created by the people who believe in them and she is a perfect deity of the internet.

[imaveryevilgirl]

SHE IS THE GOD OF THE INTERNET

Hey @hellsite-hall-of-fame, is there a way you can find the OP?

another year another me railing at how wizard of oz is always treated as "it's just dorothy's dream" and alice in wonderland is treated as "a real place she went to"

despite wizard of oz being explicitly a fairlyland dorothy travels to a dozen times before she just grabs her family and moves there so she can stay permanently with the trans poly princess gf in their socialist immortality utopia

and alice in wonderland being literally alice's midday dream about how much school and the adult victorian world fucking sucks and both stories end with her rejecting all authority over her and growing too large for queens to command and stomping on victoria until she wakes back up

you don't want to visit wonderland, in these our modern times it'd be run by an angry orange creature

you do want to visit oz, which is run by someone from tumblr

I've seen so many posts about aai being like "look Edgeworth's bluffing he learned so much from Phoenix!!" But Phoenix learned everything from Mia and Mia learned everything from Godot so I love the implication of Godot's entire legacy being "lie, be dramatic, and commit to the bit" which is exactly what he does every single second he's onscreen.

Situation where Clark has formed a tentative working relationship with Batman, but somewhere in that time, Batman acquired Robin and, naturally, didn't tell him.

Clark finds out about Robin's existence when a ten year old Dick Grayson in full Robin gear breaks into his apartment at two in the morning and shakes him awake because Batman's missing and Alfred's away and Bruce taught him that, in the case of emergency, Superman was one of the only people he could trust. Bruce just didn't think to tell Clark that he was, by all means, his son's emergency contact.

Clark: -wakes up to a small boy that he's never seen or heard of before in a cape and a mask with lenses that reflect light like a cat's perched on the edge of his bed in a pitch black room-

Dick, calmly: Hey, Batman's -- stop screaming -- Batman's missing. I need help.
