Playing Edison format Yugioh is crazy because when I mention I haven't played yugioh in 10 years my opponent on duelistbook asks "Oh so you're a dad in your 30s and have 1-2 kids too?"

He was genuinely shocked when I told him I was in my 20s with no kids. Nor sir, I'm just autistic for the series but cant comprehend modern yugioh

i know the internet is super english centered but i wish it was more common to mention the language whenever theres talk about a voice actor too, just say "the english voice actor of xyz"? that cant be too hard to do right??

i wish there was more appreciation for non-english voice actors!! in english spaces as well as in general! i know the names of many of the english cast for zelda even though i dont like any of them and have never set my game to it but know them simply bc they are the only ones getting any mention and they are always just called "the voice of" making it seem like that is THE one and only voice

im aware that its in part bc i am mostly in english speaking online spaces and the internet IS a very english centered thing but i dont think its wrong to wish for more recognition of other actors for languages other than english or to simply want them to mention to what language they are the actor of

like i dont mean that you gotta talk about every single different voice actor but i think just mentioning it like that more directly implies that there ARE others at all, especially since alot of games dont even do other voices at all and just make english the only voice over even if the game was developed by non-english people, i just find it sad :(

fantastic 4 rant because i'm still fuming. few marvel movies have appalled me more than this shitty fucking film. perfect for a second trump term.

we're transported back to the wonderful american utopia of the 50s and 60s, where us exceptionalism was only ever glorified and never doubted, before those nasty civil rights movements were imbraced by most sectors of society (lol) and everyone became ~woke.

yes. everyone is blue-eyed, everyone's hair is beautifully (wig-)blond, women are finally reduce-i mean worshipped as the nurturing madonna-mothers that they are. there is one black character, a Black woman with barely any speaking lines, always running around to do tasks for the blonde heroes (how dare they do sarah niles so wrong???). even the fucking baby of a latino man is blonde and blue-eyed and i know it's completely normal irl, but it means something in this shitty fucking movie.

there's the myth of a space age where america somehow 'got there' first, erasing all hope of actual worldwide cooperation. the fantastic 4 'were not just heroes, they became our leaders' mark gatiss says proudly, and nothing is more jarring than a gay man saying these words in a world where queerness has been completely erased, for how many movies now? 35? 40? meanwhile we're shown these superheroes playing political roles as ambassadors (LMAO??) and dictating policies. the whole world reduced to helping them enact a shitty plan without a shred of agency

oh but it's ok there's mole people who are oppressed and discriminated against but somehow trust the white woman only (not her brown husband) and in the end they sacrifice their entire ugly, smelly, dirty underworld in order to save a world that despises them and aren't even shown to be thanked for it

back to our aryan heroes: all signs of intimacy between characters is so fucking fake it hurt to watch: though the cast is - on paper - amazing, they are dead inside. there is no spark, everyone says their lines as if to a green screen. you can literally taste the fact that every single interaction has been weighted and approved by 3456 marvel & disney executives invigorated by trump's war on DEI policies

johnny says 'everybody knows i love 2 things: space and women' and ofc it's tell don't show, because you never actually DO see him near a woman. unless he's crassly hitting on the silver surfer like a main character from an 80s action movie, and he's 'crushing' on the hot naked enemy while she is threatening to both destroy earth and kidnap and kill his nephew. seems legit.

but you never see him interact with any man he's not ""related"" to, either. having 4 main characters who are all somehow related is also especially convenient, yes i'm back to the queerness erasure thing, because johnny storm has been openly shipped with men in comic fandom (with nods from canon from time to time!! see spideytorch domestic bliss or my personal fave johny/wolverine's son daken) and he can be het! it's fine! but he's not just het coded, he just never interacts with anyone other than his sister and a shitty neonazi convert

"is the surfboard connected to her body"????? this shitty quip is repeated not one, but three times throughout.

blonde character holding her blue-eyed baby explaining to a mob of angry, scared, hurt humans why it matters that she chose her child over literally every single person on earth and they're supposed to accept it because it was the hero's decision. why family matters more than found family, why marriage is between a man and a woman and eve, in pain you will bear children, and your desire will be for your husband, yet he will rule over y--oops how did this from genesis get here, i meant you will NEVER be present when men make their decisions, but with your world-weary motherly knowledge you will be given some agency but only because your child was threatened

and the final scene: lol yes men being useless with baby stuff, while the tradwife blonde mother looks at them fumble a simple fucking task with a smirk because men, right? can't expect them to know these things... tying riiight back up to the first scene where the husband fumbles finding some shitty meds before his wife does itf for him with a gentle, perfectly curated eyebrow arch.

there's more but instead of being cathartic i'm only pissing myself off so.... yeah. also the plot was predictable and boring. there you go.

THE BROWS AND HAIR TOO??? FUCK RIGHT OFF.

LIKE HEY?? HELLO!!! RHAENYRA TARGARYEN DOESNT HAVE A 12 STEP HAIR STRAIGHTENING BLEACH AND TONE ROUTINE AND LASH FALSIES TO GLUE ON, I WILL KILL YOU TILL YOU DIE.

OKAY IM USING THIS AS AN OUTLET CAUSE I HAVE SOMETJING TO SAY (u are completely right btw)

can i just say. i think it’s a good thing we don’t have women in medieval set tv shows who are made to look “glamorous”, hotd and got are so refreshing in that sense. plus, rhaenyra is literally a dragon rider. makeup?? SHE IS CALLED THE DRAGON QUEEN GET OUT OF MT FACE

rhaenyra was denied her throne because she’s a woman. her mother died. her father died. her son died. she had a stillbirth from the stress of it all. her closest advisor died. her husband is raising an army for himself instead of for her. her council think her as the “weaker sex”. she is fighting for what is rightfully hers in a world that wasn’t designed to give women any power. she is fighting to ascend the throne not only for herself, but to create a new order. to look at a character like that and only see “plain features”…. it’s just so frustrating sometimes. y’all heard what brittany broksi said, “imagine a world where you could pursue the things that make you happy and not have to worry about if you look good doing it”

SORRY FOR GETTIGN DEEP IT JUST MADE ME MAD ☹️👊

i was talking with my mom just now about how i'm about to sit down and watch the new ep of 911 and how i'm excited to see it play out because i know someone gets struck by lightning (i know who, she doesn't, so i didn't wanna tell her, she can find out when she watches the ep herself 🤷🏻‍♀️)

but i did tell her that the popular fandom theory is that it's gonna be Buck who has something bad happening to him this season, and her answer, flat-out and before i even finished talking was, "no. Buck's suffered too much already", which aww, that's the sweetest thing, but also, oh, mom.

mom, my sweet summer child, you have no idea
