tng is so funny because picard has this random god whose for some reason obsessed with him not romantically not platonically not sexually but in a secret fourth way that is also all three at once and this god is like kind of an asshole and all the other gods hate him and also think he's an asshole. and everybody still has no idea why he's obsessed with this middle-aged french man but he likes putting him in situations and showing up in his bed. also he steals picard's girlfriend

not to be a pedantic hater but i wish tumblr accent wasn't the commonly used term to describe tumblrina typing quirks and phrases bc that is Not an accent it's a dialect!!

So many political posts I hate boil down to "I don't want to organize and work with people I hate and fight for small, incremental victories, I just want to start a revolution where everyone magically becomes an automaton who acts exactly the way I think they should act"

Like damn man, I want that too. Unfortunately I live in reality though so we're stuck with the first thing.

[phantomrose96]

Look I do. Genuinely. tend to keep most of my hater opinions pretty close to the vest. Because like okay, you liked the thing I think kinda sucked, I don't need to go ringing your doorbell about it. We can agree on that.

But I feel the sleeper-phrase activation in myself whenever I see a take like "um if you didn't like it it's actually because you didn't understand it!!!!" and i have to like. Take a walk around the block before I morph into Ron Swanson.

we are never going to be free until it literally doesnt matter whether a person is ugly or not

[what-a-bastard]

It does annoy me when people can't get their heads around the idea that something in a story being a metaphor doesn't mean that what you're literally seeing isn't happening. "What so you think it's all in their head?" THAT'S NOT WHAT A METAPHOR NOR AN ALLEGORY IS

It's far too late but I really wish we stopped calling generative AI "AI" because it's just not Artificial Intelligence.

It's like if we called drums "sonic booms" because they make a loud sound.

[charlesoberonn]

It's like if we called all carbonation foam "lava" because of baking soda volcanos.

It's like if we called cars "spaceships" because a car salesman once lied about their product being capable of space travel

It's like if we called vitamin supplements "cancer cures" because some people mistakenly believe they cure cancer

can every writer and director in hollywood just get in a big big room and pinky promise to not release a movie about wwii for like 5 years. every summer we have to hear about a movie called Platoon about the untold story of one platoon who had to carry one mechanical part across occupied france and without it the allies would have lost the war. it stars every white actor in the UK

[mummer]

i’m sorry but it is absolutely a conservative impulse to believe that an ancient work has some kind of “purity” that can be “desecrated” by adaptation. think about what you are saying. why do you think adaptational change or reinterpretation is an “offense” to “culture” that must be answered for? what could motivate a person or movement to designate a certain story as “sacred”? when you do this, are you conjuring an idealized past? in the same breath, does this position modernity as a threat?

writing characters who constantly have their "being dramatic" level set to 1000000000000000000000% is so fun.

[fanfavoritefragrances]

Your mystery question is here :)

🧠Do any of your characters have mental health concerns?  How do your characters deal and cope with their mental health? 

aaahahajahaha

I mean, um. no. nope. no mental health concerns here. lynie is 100% extremely absolutely mentally healthy in every possible way. she would know if she wasn't, after all, she's a psychologist. an extremely normal, neurotypical, well adjusted psychologist who is very good at her job and would definitely recognize her own symptoms if she had any. which she doesn't.

and if she DID have to cope with her mental health - because after all, who doesn't from time to time? - she would have the healthiest coping mechanisms ever developed. she'd, uh. meditate. and do ummm.... gratitude journaling? and not even a little bit of cocaine or arson.

"Wow, you're really good at this, you should do this professionally" okay but have you considered that I don't want to because that would suck all the fun out of this thing that I do for fun and entertainment and it's actually a conscious choice to not do this professionally because that would destroy the very reason I do this to begin with

Early design sketches for Oscar the Grouch showcase that he was originally imagined as being purple. The change to orange was made because the color didn't show up on camera well.

Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.

Why is measles back in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.

Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.

Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.

What contributed to the Covid outbreak?

Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.

“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.
