there’s this church sign i pass every day that says “hurt people hurt people” and i know it’s supposed to mean like “people who are hurt, hurt people” but it sounds like a command
Watching the miraculous ladybug fandom as someone who isn’t part of it is wild because like…there are four different ships that all only involve the same two people, everyone is freaking out because the OTP has confessed their love except it’s already happened 1204 times now and they are either too oblivious or get their minds wiped or some crap, no one can make up their minds about whether chloe is a good person or not, you watch as as it hits the top spot on tumblr trending because it’s the season finale but then a week later it’s trending again because of another episode and you’re confused and then you find out that practically the entire. series. is being released out of order
i love the way wei wuxian and jin guangyao have no relationship at all. like you’ve got your hero and you’ve got your villain and they’re highly complementary characters who wind up being instrumental in each other’s downfalls, and also they met like, what, four times? with zero one on one conversations? jin guangyao barely even bothers to manipulate wei wuxian during the temple showdown and wei wuxian watches jin guangyao die with all the emotion of someone who just noticed a dent in their car and is wondering how it got there
denying yourself enjoyment of things because you don’t want to be ‘cringe’ is the most cringe thing you can do actually. like what are you, catholic?
like, you’re going to refuse to engage with anything that feeds your emotions with rich and delicious new sensations in case you fall to the temptation of unironically having fun? okay john harvey kellogg jr.
it’s interesting that the people reading Dracula when it initially came out would have a totally different reading experience than the people who are reading it now. because to a reader in 1897, a line where jonathan is listening to the locals talk and he goes “"vrolok" and “vlkoslak"—both of which mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either were-wolf or vampire. (Mem., I must ask the Count about these superstitions)” it’s like yeah, wow, i wonder what the count thinks, but because of the cultural prevalence of dracula now there’s literally no way that line can read as anything but comedy to a modern reader. yeah i bet you wonder what count dracula thinks of the locals talking about vampires you dumbfuck
Saw an article about David Tennant potentially being the next doctor and I can’t help but imagine how funny it would be if it was just….David Tennant but he gets to keep his accent this time
russel t davies just like. fuck it, we get a do-over
@shinelikethunder I am very literally wheezing and it’s only like 20% pollen allergy right now
idk but what really gets me about overwatch is that its entire marketing tries to convince us that it’s this huge band of heroes who have come together to maintain world peace and achieve Great Things
while in fact that’s what they used to be and what you have now is a family consisting of an ape, two lesbians and a supercomputer having illegal dinner parties in a derelict government facility
the three former leaders of the organization are all presumed dead and pass their time not really disputing that claim considering two of them are currently holed up in a fucking necropolis, and the other one is a constantly decomposing emotional fog
like you’re supposed to imagine this grand force for Good, but then jesse mccree is getting shitfaced in a dingy bar in dorado while sombra sends sneaky update pics of him to reaper, who is currently too busy creeping on a family just because the guy’s flat butt reminded him of his ex husband
hanzo ‘midlife crisis’ shimada shoots dragons out of his nipple but you couldn’t tell that looking at his art student undercut and piercings, and his not-dead (notice how that’s a suspiciously recurring theme in this game?) brother is probably currently at a cosplay convention losing a ‘best genji costume’ competition
like maybe one day they’ll all come together and find common ground and actually do something, but for now they’re just a bunch of weird people in different stages of washed up trying to make ends meet, and it might be the most relatable thing about the whole entire game
@thefutureisbroken described the plot of Overwatch as “couple has a messy divorce, kids try to keep the family together while all their friends realize they only really hung out because of that couple.”
So I played Among Us yesterday night on the Europe server (North America server was being wonky) and there was someone named Underverse and I just want them to know how cool they are hahaha. Also I do think they killed me :’D
