Ray's Ramblings @raydfil - Tumblr Blog

AP Lit teacher asked for a 500-word reflection of the year and i'm about to hand her what is shaping up to be nearly 2k words explaining Ride the Cyclone and shipping culture impacting my school year. Sorry Naz 😔

#rays rambles #ride the cyclone #because it DID impact my school year.#but the amount of exposition needed to explain the issue of seeing a friend play Ocean O'connell Rosenberg is downright preposterous.

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

You are so right actually

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

manuciruja

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

smadsel

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

smadsel

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

manuciruja

hey staff what the fuck

#even more notable that the whole post is marked as “mature”.....

stops in the middle of a conversation in horror realizing that i am very definitively flirting with the girl i am determined to. Not end up with a crush on.

raydfil

found this looking through my okld posts. i think 1-year-ago me would be.... horrified? elated? utterly baffled? to hear about the year i've had to be honest.

#if you told me that a week after i posted that that i would find out my school is doing ride the cyclone #and that i would see the girl i was talking about play my favorite character #and that everything that i did with her happened the way that it happened #and that the crush got as bad as it did #i would have. lost my mind.#good (?)#lost my mind (bad?)#i dont even know #happy pride again LMAOOO #rays rambles

people at my work training today were discussing the "coolness factor" of dying on a roller coaster and this was my first day there and NO ONE knows and i had to act so normal. no i dont have any opinions on dying on a roller coaster accident. no i've never even heard of that happening. you're telling me people write stories about that?? wack.

#stupidest fucking thing ever to have to be wierd about oh my god #i felt like the most absurd person ever 😭#ride the cyclone #rays rambles

every single time time i try to check facebook marketplace for furniture i get jumpscared by this (admittedly sick) custom baljeet coffee table

cometcrystal

out of the backyard gang baljeet is one of the worst to make into a coffee table. ferb would also be pretty bad. phineas and isabella would be mid because they have those bigass heads but the skinny bodies. might be worse than baljeet and ferb if you're a person who cares about symmetry. buford would objectively make the best coffee table because his silhouette has the most evenly-spaced surface area. now if you wanna talk about pnf characters in general i think pet mode perry would be the best coffee table out of all of them

symbolblue

love this kinda post where you have to have seen a different specific post for it to make any sense at all

recoverr-a-deactivated20210530

you deserve people who listen to you ramble. you deserve people who love it when you’re excited, when you’re happy. you deserve people who check up on you and wish to see you well, people who not only accept you for who you are - but rejoice in it.

I literally came back to life just to Ride the Cyclone again

#OH MY GOD??!#OMG HELLO??!#I LOVE YOUR ART SO SOSO MUCH OH MY GOODNESS!!#YOUR SHAPE LANGUAGE???!#AWW IM IN LOVE WITH ALLL OF THEM #ride the cyclone

angry-eevee

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.

Green Mike, or “Grike” as he’s known, is the latest Stranger Things character. “He was supposed to be Will’s true lover but it was too expensive to clone Finn Wolfhard,” says Ploob Duffer (the third Duffer). “That’s why the ending was so shit, we were doing it in retaliation of cloning prices.”
