if I had a nickel every time oscar isaac and carey mulligan had a complicated relationship on screen I'd have 3 nickels which technically isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened THREE TIMES

This made me think about this panel from Calvin and Hobbes:

But unlike the adult in this strip, Calvin’s dad actually APOLOGIZED for yelling at him when he saw how guilty his kid was:

i feel like whenever people discuss hatsune mikus age its always either "hatsune miku is literally 16 you cant treat her like an adult" or "hatsune miku is a piece of software with no thoughts or feelings you can do whatever" but never the imo more interesting "hatsune miku is a marketing mascot designed to be a virtual idol, what does it say about the idol industry that the people involved considered 16 to be the perfect age to assign her. why do so many vtubers played by adult women have 16 on their profile. why are so many idol anime about highschoolers. can we talk about the contexts and implications please please please please-"

and this isnt a "japan bad lol" thing theres so many characters out there who are functionally treated as adults but designated to be in their late teens. i think the oldest (official) disney princess is like. 21. its a feature of how society at large treats 16-25 as the only viable window of attractiveness yknow. the dicaprio problem. its everywhere once you look for it unfortunately and even characters i love are not exempt from reflecting the bias.

wedding dresses are white specifically so that if the bride goes axe-crazy you can rest assured you will see the blood stains all over her and it'll be sick as fuck

The Little Art Connoisseur (1863) August Friedrich Siegert

Last time this came around I showed my three year old and he said "He's little like me!" and stared for a whole minute (v. Long in toddler time).

the response to "your demographic is full of people who are ugly and weird and undesirable" should not ever be "not true! some of us are in fact hot and normal and desireable." you should stand with weird ugly bitches bc otherwise you're just playing a losing game with bigots.

Ship Tournament, Round 3 — Match 7 / 7

Lae'zel/Shadowheart

"lae’zel/shadowheart is THE enemies to lovers blueprint in bg3 idc. they start off genuinely ready to slit each other’s throats over the artefact, the gith/sharran distrust is off the charts, and somehow it turns into this insane potential for two women who were both raised inside brutal religious systems slowly realising they were lied to by the people they worshipped"

vs. Karlach/Wyll

"I mean, those two are almost implied in the Blade of Avernus, Karlach and Wyll traversing hells together ending. Karlach's dialogue about doing this with someone she loves is both in romanced Karlach ending, and if she's just with Wyll! Karlach was my first romance, and when I saw a non-romanced Karlach and Wyll epilogue for the first time, I just felt such a "it should've been me! Not him!" feeling that it's hard to say there's nothing there. Also, Karlach has been through tough times. She deserves a fairytale prince to sweep her off her feet - what companion doesn't, really, but still. Also, Karlach will stand up for Wyll when he gets too self-sacrificing, I'm sure of that, and he deserves that, too. They're dear to each other, is all I know, and they'd be good together. After they get out of Avernus, I'm sure they could have a good, comfortable life in Baldur's Gate, adventuring, and when needing a break, having a nice house in the upper city to belong to."

Which ship do you prefer?

Lae'zel/Shadowheart

Karlach/Wyll

Remaining time: 8 hours 14 minutes

One time I was watching a gay pornographic film from the 1970s and the bedroom set had a life sized cardboard cutout of James Dean from the Rebel Without a Cause promotional material. I feel like that is exactly what he would have wanted but also I was so fucking jealous I couldn’t even focus on the fucking, I was green with envy because dude, that fucking rocks. I think this was what inspired me to design a James Dean and Marilyn Monroe themed bathroom when I first moved out on my own. There was probably someone in the 1970s who saw this cardboard cutout of James Dean and was like ‘That is the perfect set dressing for this porno about a college student home for the summer, that is the pinnacle of horny gay college aged guy decor, audiences will love it.’ and they were painfully correct.

Does he- you know, *gestures vaguely* have a life sized cardboard cutout of James Dean in his room?
