Pets are Cute

Oh, look, I have been impaled :)

[devious-buffoon]

Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.

“AI fanfic sounds like it was written by a wattpad 13 year old”? WRONG!!! AI could never replicate the raw self-indulgent mischaracterization and beautifully unrealistic plot holes of an 8th grader discovering her first sad fictional man.

[chaoticconstellation]

also if you’ve actually encountered AI fic, it’s too general. a 13 year old on wattpad clings onto at least 2-3 “facts” about the character. like their favorite food (a food they mentioned once), a hobby (something they were shown doing once and never again), and their ambitions (common fanon). AI could never even dream of getting these correct

"look at what the groomer did to my dog!!!" posts are funny because like 75% of the time it's obvious the groomer had to cut it really short because the dog was matted to all hell but the other 25%....

[pitbolshevik]

the other 25% of the time it's shit like this

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

[sillyguy-supreme]

maybe if you see south and southeast asians dying in the heat and latin americans dying in floods and all you think of is imagining a reality where YOU are affected, then you should rethink how you see people of color. if you cannot see climate change as a real disaster until it is other americans dying in the heat and the floods and not just black and brown people, then don’t talk about climate change until you can acknowledge the grim reality of climate change for everyone.

Had a friend express worry that Eliot Spencer gets injured so often in leverage and I had to reassure them: no no. U dont get it his old job was "getting the shit beat out of you constantly for the sake of people who dont care if u live or die," and then afterward he had to drag himself home, patch himself up, and do it all over again tomorrow. NOW he gets minor cuts and bruises (usually), and the moment the job is done his whole clingy crime family gets to go "oh that looks like it hurts let's get you some bacitracin and bruise cream!! Do you wanna cook dinner to feel better?" And then they all make sure he is never in any true mortal danger and he always gets a say in what he does for the job. This is like a working dog who got house privileges and now enjoys fat naps in front of the fire and fancy wet food after his long day guarding the flock. Hes doing great actually.

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

Genuinely impossible to choose one astute observation from Heather Parry’s excellent dissection of Wuthering Heights as a contemporary gothic writer from Yorkshire, so I’d suggest reading the whole thing here.

[majestictortoise]

"We demand to know whether a novel sits in one category or another because we no longer know how to understand books without being given a framework of tropes or being blankly told what they’re about in advance—even when the books in question are generally considered foundational texts of a specific genre—so we engage in pointless debate about whether or not they are definitely supposed to mean one thing or another, whether they fit neatly into one classification. Intentional literary ambiguity, rather than being seen as something that is deployed by authors so that the reader may have to ask themselves questions, or to make space for a multiplicity of meanings to be taken from the text, are seen as a failure to provide the clarity we now demand. How can I position myself in relation to this book if the book won’t tell me what it is?"

The whole essay is very, very good.

Look y'all, this reveal means so much to me. So many times in movies these days there are big reveals for the audience’s benefit that mean absolutely nothing in the context of the story or to the characters in it. I’m talking the Thanos cameo in the Avengers’ stinger, I’m talking Benedict CumberKhan in Star Trek, I’m talking about every hackneyed “This character is actually this other character” when in universe nobody knows nor cares about their true identity.

But here? This reveal? This is a Big Reveal for us, Peter B Parker, and Miles, all on different levels. We and Peter both know Doc Ock is a portly dude, not a woman. We know the name Octavius… Otto Octavius. But when she says her name is Olivia Octavius we’re clued in to the fact that Doctor Octopus is a woman in this universe. And she has Peter captive.

Miles, if he was paying attention in science class earlier in the movie, would have known her name was Olivia Octavius, but that doesn’t mean anything to him, why would it? Liv has apparently been very good about keeping her supervillainy a secret. She’s in educational videos shown in high-schools. So to Miles, the reveal here is this scientist lady, who he knew enough about to know was the head scientist at Alchemax, is a supervillain. He gets the reveal a second or two after Peter.

And the movie? It was dropping hints the entire time, confident in our expectations blinding is to the truth. Olivia’s name was partially visible when Miles got to science class. Her glasses are octagonal. The lights in her lab are octagonal. We know she’s working with the Kingpin. Why wouldn’t she be a supervillain? Because she’s hot? Hell, Peter even says he needs to reexamine his internal biases. Maybe he was telling us that we should too.

It’s a reveal for us, and for our heroes. It means something, both in-universe and out. And that makes it infinitely better than other similar reveals.

But I will also entertain the non platonic for my own edification do u understand
