i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

And once I was told "if you don't agree with their actions, why do you seek their approval"

Notice to the Public: not everything that is left vague, or not explicitly stated & spelled out for the audience, is "up for interpretation." in fact, it is common practice in storytelling to give the audience all the relevant information, and expect them to have the mental faculties necessary to put it together into the correct picture. this is a practice called "good writing."

refusal to understand the text, even when corrected, reflects more on you as a person than it does the people trying to correct you. this is especially true when it is about a characters gender, sexuality, or race. it makes you appear stupid and bullheaded at best, and DEEPLY bigoted at worst.

if this is an issue you find yourself having, i implore you to improve your media literacy skills. i understand that we live in a world that actively encourages people to turn off their brains, but it is not actually beneficial to you or your enjoyment of media. there are so many beautiful, emotionally enriching stories in this world, that one must use their brain in order to fully engage with. you only close the door on yourself by declining to do so.

and you also make yourself look like a massive asshole, with whom nobody wants to share a space with.

saw someone mix up "abysmal" and "abyssal" today, so as a reminder:

her skills are abysmal = she is unskilled

her skills are abyssal = her abilities draw upon the forbidden power of the dark void

bumping into your really nice alpha neighbour in the hallway (who you’ve been on again off again flirting with for weeks now), but squeaking out a little “sorry!” while having to rudely push past him so that you can get into your apartment before your heat gets out of control

him being unable to resist following after you the second you scurry upstairs, every step he takes now getting a little more urgent, his blood hotter, until he’s pacing in front of your door, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth; trying everything in his power to keep himself from knocking because the way he is moving now reminds him of a predator and he doesn’t like it - he’s nice, goddammit, he’s nice

#my family does this thing#when we've majorly unfucked a room or done chore that we were putting off#or whatever. Any sort of household Improvement.#'Come brag on me.'#I means come look I cleaned/rearranged/did dishes/put away the laundry#and the scripted response is 'oh nice it looks SO much better in here now'#like my mom did this when we were kids.#'girls comr brag on the garage I finally organized it so I can get my car in there'#and we go and 'ooh' and 'aah' and tell her how nice it looked and how she did a good job#and we could have her 'come brag on' us for like doing the dishes or cleaning our rooms#I do it to my wife now too#it's a dialogue that means#'I did a chore and it feels like an Accomplishment even if it objectively wasn't a big thing. Please acknowledge this.'#and#'Wow you sure did do a thing. It has improved our material circumstance even if only in a small way. Thank you for doing it.'#like yeah scrubbing the pans is my Job and it's a Little Task but sometimes it feels like a Big Task#and it's nice to have an Accepted Script where I can just demand 'I have functioned as an independent adult praise me with great praise' - by @thepioden

i love the "grace somehow lives as long as an eridian" interpretations of the movie ending cuz i honestly think something like that could happen in cannon and it wouldn't feel out of place.

like they all are solomely accepting the fact that grace is going to die in like a scary amount of eridian years, and then as he gets to like 90 everyone is bracing for it, but he just...keeps aging. he keeps his mobility- if anything his back is getting worse cuz of the slightly increased gravity, and his health seems to be steady. on the day of graces 122nd birthday (the oldest a human has ever lived) the eridian scientists that study grace are like. hey. what the fuck. and grace is like ┐(´～｀ˇ)┌

1. Grace breeds Taumoeba, speedrunning its evolution.

2. Grace eats Taumoeba but who said it will stop evolving just because Grace thought it should?

3. Taumoeba evolves in Grace’s body, binding itself to his DNA as so many things have done before during our own evolution.

4. Grace becomes capable of consuming Astrophage (the most energy efficient organism in the known universe).

5. Grace’s organism becomes more energy efficient as well and therefore its internal structure ages a lot slower.

6. Magic happened, now Grace can live just as long as his best mate Rocky.

For Danny Fenton (aka Danny Phantom), the problem was never having powers.

The problem was paperwork. and government agencies. and his parents.

So naturally he coped the only way a feral teenage ghost hero could: by committing identity fraud. repeatedly.

—-

Danny Fenton – The son of eccentric ghost-hunting scientists, publicly perceived as an average teenager, privately navigating the consequences of his parents’ experiments.

Danny Phantom – The town’s resident superhero, a half-ghost meta-human who protects the city from ectoplasmic threats.

Dennis Nightale – A fabricated civilian identity used to anonymously report criminal and paranormal activity to law enforcement without exposing his true nature.

Dr. Den Vale – A constructed academic persona presented as a parapsychology researcher who publicly challenges and debunks his parents’ more extreme ghost-theory claims, serving as intellectual damage control.

Devin Fonton – An occult and interdimensional specialist occasionally consulted by the Justice League for cases involving spectral anomalies and liminal-realm breaches.

Darian Voss – A private paranormal security consultant who operates internationally, investigating hauntings and containing ecto-biological threats under corporate contract.

Denton Raye – A media-facing paranormal analyst and podcast guest persona used to influence public perception about ghost phenomena while subtly steering narratives away from his own activities.

Derrin Holloway – A low-profile archival researcher embedded within historical societies, specializing in ancient spectral lore and forgotten interdimensional incidents.

Be even funnier if no one ever figures this out until he has no choice but to tell them

I’m picturing someone is like “okay we reached out to a few experts and invited them all to this meeting” over some ghost problem, only for one (1) guy to show up because he is, in fact, all of the experts that were invited

Herding sheep, looking after kids, and playing healer in videogames: every day you're surprised of the sheer innovative genius of how they'll find the most inconvenient goddamn places just outside your reach to get hurt or put themselves in lethal danger.

Isn’t this sheep in real life?

Children in real life also.

It. It literally did. That was literally precisely the point.

I have no idea how the hell I could possibly express myself more clearly.

sorry for romanticizing the mundane but the fact that laughter is infectious is so incredible to me. like yeah it's just a reaction to stimuli but the way it feels to hear someone laugh and feel yourself compelled to share that joy is really something. and it's so simple and requires no skill but it's so special and important to me.
