Orthodox Jewish, she/her, 21, compsci major and esthetician, freelance makeup artist I’m something, I just really don’t like labels, and Tbh I think hate of all flavors is a waste of time. I like nerd stuff way too much

And I cannot believe I’m doing this…

I am a random person on the Internet majority of you will never meet. My opinions, and yes, I’m allowed to have them, do not and should not be affecting you in any way. Unless you have FACTUAL EVIDENCE that something I’m stating as fact is objectively incorrect (I.E. I get a date or location wrong NOT “hey; this is viewed differently in the context of my experience”) in which case please correct me, and I’ll amend accordingly. I’ve said this a thousand times; I would rather be factually correct than comfortable with my false perceived reality, however if you are interacting with me to be aggressive, argumentative, crude, etc about anything, even if it’s something from my list or about something I actively support on my page; Please leave me alone. I don’t like saying DNI- neither I nor anyone else should ever try to control who you do or don’t interact with, but if you want to engage in the actions mentioned above…

Please DNI.

It’s been a few months now and yeah, the song is still good

[speedierthanasubmarine]

I’ve been watching white collar in the background of everything I’ve been doing for the past month and now I finished it and I can’t decide whether to get a new background show or just watch it again until I get sick of it, help.

[speedierthanasubmarine]

Update I’m watching shadowhunters in the background now and it’s a massive downgrade in quality

Writing is ass

Effects are ass

I don’t care, the drama is fuuuuuun

[speedierthanasubmarine]

My current background show is archer and I hate myself this show is ass the drama isn’t even fun waiting for it to “get good” because apparently it gets good.

[speedierthanasubmarine]

I’ve given up on archer and went to ONCE UPON A TIME I LOVE THIS SHOW ITS SO DUMB IT CIRCLES RIGHT BACK TO BEING GOOD

[speedierthanasubmarine]

Watching futurama right now, really fun show

Statement: Pocahontas is the best character Disney ever created. She has the best voice, best design, she’s nice, she’s wise, she’s gorgeous, she’s inspiring, she’s smart, she has a cool necklace and a raccoon and a hummingbird, she can ride a horse, she has a tree grandma, she can survive a fall from hundreds of feet, and her hair is like silk.

You can try and make a case for a different character but you will lose.

[speedierthanasubmarine]

It’s been several years, I’m older, wiser, and I understand that writing “created” in this post was a stupid mistake, and I’d also forgotten about oh, 20 or so other characters that were better than Pocahontas, despite all my points depicting her awesomeness being valid.

This image is the funniest thing I’ve seen in months, and it gets funnier the more things I notice

[speedierthanasubmarine]

Something I just realized annoys me about Sarah J Maas’s worldbuilding

Why is misogyny a constant across different worlds?

Why in these magical universes with fae and witches are women still subjugated? we learn that they share a universe so like why is it that the planetary constant is that the womb havers have been looked down upon for millennia?

Just something dumb I realized. Add it to the pile of crap from SJM

Something I’m noticing about modern media

Completely Empty Subversion!

We set up something super interesting and Instead of actually doing something interesting, we do

Absolutely nothing!

Kenny from South Park has a confirmed curse that makes him continuously die and have it be erased in everyone’s memories? And only an immortal can vanquish Cthulhu? That’s so interesting, I wonder what they’ll-

Payoff is given to this random kid we don’t know

Adam is shown being an absolute dick to tons of people, trying to sabotage Charlie’s dream at every turn and they’re having a final battle? Oh this is gonna be sick! Let’s see-

A gag character kills him

This would be like reading the entirety of house in the cerulean sea (im working on that essay btw) and after reading 400 pages about Linus bonding with the children and having his cute lil will they won’t they with Arthur all of a sudden randomly Arthur meets someone named Dave and falls in love with Dave and the children are all like “OMG Dave we love Dave!” In like 3 pages

It all means nothing, it conveys nothing, it accomplishes nothing.

Congrats guys, you subverted my expectations.

Instead of happiness, anger, sadness, excitement, trepidation, anticipation, curiosity, or satisfaction

You got mild surprise and disappointment

I hope it was worth it
