'the moral of project hail mary is that unfortunately eva stratt was right' 'the moral of project hail mary is that friendship will make you braver than you ever believed you could be' WRONG!!! the moral of project hail mary is BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WRITE YOUR THESIS ON
I know I already made a post to this effect but it's so baffling to me when someone defends the fact that headphone jacks are slowly but surely getting phased out by smartphone manufacturers with some variations of "wireless headphones are more convenient anyway" bc like. If we're talking about convenience what I like about wired headphones is that they conveniently have a single plug that makes the same damn pair of headphones universally compatible with every single audio-output-capable device I own, from my phone and my computer to my fucking gameboy and my casette player, it doesn't get any more convenient than that.
>Predominately Black led piece of media becomes popular.
>Among the characters there are one or two White characters with minor and/or distinctly antagonistic roles.
>White tumblr users focus entirely on said White characters.
>Tag of Black led piece of media is filled with posts about White character(s)
>Rinse. Repeat.
I think the most charitable interpretation of this is that people connect to characters that are like them, and that the experiences of Blackness is so alien to them that the White characters are the only ones that White people connect with. Combine that with the fact that Tumblr is so White as a platform, and you get this issue.
Itās still bad and racist, but it is understandable. People should still do better though. (Iām not trying to justify, Iām trying to come up with an explanation)
Please donāt make me say it.
We don't need you coming up with an charitable interpretation.
Prev tags too good to leave in the tags
what's your favorite boxing technique
probably the one where I show up at his doorstep with a black eye and he opens the door in boxers and a white tank top and he leans against the doorframe looks me up and down and says you just can't stay outta trouble can you and I say I'm here ain't I and he says proves my point and I say fuck off and he chuckles and says get in here you're lettin all the air out and I follow him in and we sit on opposite ends of the same couch and he mutes the tv which I can't help but notice is playing a recording of one of my matches and he drapes an arm over the back of the couch and regards me with head tilted back kinda just showin me his jaw you know and he goes so what is this and I go gimme a break this ain't exactly easy for me and he says last time I see you you punch me in the gut and tell me to shove my ass up my ass which is impossible for the record and now you show up here lookin like you just went twelve rounds and I say maybe I did and he says how was it and I say you know how it was and he says I wanna hear you say it and I huff and say not the same and he says I think it looks good on you and I say would look better on you and he says I can give you more and we realize how close we are to each other and then he leans forward and I lean forward and we do kiss and then it's like all hell breaks loose and we're all over each other and minutes turn to hours turn to nights turn to months and before he knows it we're at the altar dressed to the nines and he's telling me I'm the best bad thing that ever happened to him and one of the bridesmaids wipes a tear from her eye and he cups a hand around the back of my neck and pulls me close and that's when I hit him with a right cross BAM works every fuckin time
disabled ppl we need to start lying to nosy people okay? you tell me i'm too young to need a cane and i will tell you point blank that maybe you should tell that to the guy who ran me over. you don't get an explanation of my health issues you get lies and depending on how much of an asshole i want to be that lie will be anything from a humble car crash to a 1 billion lions attack. mind yr business.
"i could never live like that" well maybe you'll have to because this happened overnight. yeah you heard me i was the most able bodied man in the world but then one morning bam i woke up disabled. yeah you could have that too. there's no cure either you'll just wake up one morning and now you have to live like me
"what happened" well have you ever seen looney tunes? yeah an anvil landed on me and squished me flat.
I want to talk to you about sports, but a weird sport that I found out that you play. I donāt think itās legal to play. Thatās probably true. Is it called fire hockey?
every time i see this, ive managed to forget about it and it newly becomes the best thing ive ever seen
Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.
Its surprisingly tasty????
Pleased to report that after a day of this i am not longer craving caper brine and my mouth is not dry as usual. There's some good suggestions in the notes too that I want to try.

"Wow, I wonder why this post was popular this week."
-sees the reports of the heatwave in Europe-
"... ah."
The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.
You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)
media: we have an anti-authoritarian story for you!
me: sweet hit me with the good stuff
media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?
me: okay
media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?
me: yup, got it, I'm with ya
media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering
me: oh good great sure
media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped
me: ...what
media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage
me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??
media: extremism is bad
me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???
media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog
me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??
media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil
me: ...???
media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo
me: the status quo that's been killing people?
media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)
me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?
media: nooo of course not don't be sillyyyyyy we're super progressive look one of the cops is a black lady don't be sillyyyyyy
like many people have said this better than me but no it IS odd that we've come to think of potatoes as so quintessentially european that their presence in historical fantasy where they're anachronistic doesn't jar. and yes people are trying to have the trappings of post-colonial europe without engaging w the icky colonialism part and yes people are neglecting to imagine what a european cuisine without potatoes would be like.
im fully in favour of 'let people have fun w their fantasy world' but is considering how the potatoes got there in the absence of colonialism not a fun exercise? maybe every year the dragon riders go on a great transatlantic potato pilgrimage
perhaps a good way to sum up the issue here is:
if you put potatoes in your medieval european style fantasy world people will by and large not find it jarring and accept it as a normal fantasy trope
if you put, say, black people in your medieval european style fantasy world a whole demographic of people will get very angry and accuse you of breaking their immersion
this is in spite of the fact that black people were a lot more common in medieval europe than potatoes.
I couldnāt find the post I was looking for but it was about how sera gets called racist and bigoted and annoying for criticising the dalish (due to being a 20 year old dealing with internalised racism and struggling to find her identity in a world where sheās only acknowledged as an elf as a target of racism or when compared to the dalish as though sheās not being an elf properly) but when Solas criticises the dalish heās called wise and knowledgeable and people think that yeah maybe the dalish are worth criticising (and heās criticising them because heās a genocidal maniac who doesnāt consider them people and is planning to kill them)
Think thatās a good example of the whole āyou hate this character because sheās a woman, you would like the same traits in a male characterā thing
functionally suicidal character saying āI would die for youā to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me heād sell hot dogs for me, I wouldnāt feel very moved now would I
āIf men could get pregnant, abortion would be freeā men CAN get pregnant and theyāre treated worse than women who can get pregnant
oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men
And as it turns out the SECOND I think about taking my sweet time with commissions i get punched in the guts by some new, fun and exciting life event. Iām definitely taking 20ā¬ fully rendered portrait commissions. Thereās definitely gonna be at least 10 slots. Help. I love you. Check THIS ONE POST OF MINE for more info.
(Also if 20 is still out of your budget I have 10ā¬ slots up on my VGen with a bit more of a simple style, if you donāt wanna use VGen you can just DM me here <3)
Please be nice to me!
Steven Universe designs for fun. Experimenting. Enjoy.š©·
