Alex, He/Him, 25, Trans Man, Pansexual, Greek, Sociology & Animation Student, Fanfiction Addict. Huge fan of any queer relationship fandom-wise. Hyperfixation with superheroes(TV, movies and comics wise). Pretty new to the TTRPG scene. I love various shows and movies, music, reading, and trying many new, various and creative things.
my mom, dead in the middle of a conversation, slams on the breaks in the middle of a country road so she can pull over and take a picture of all these cows running for cover from the rain and adsfkjlfkdjg and thi dskfjfgj

she also took a pictuer of a bluejay
and believe it or not, a squirrel
mom vs the focus on her expensive camera vs her bad eyesight
ok i swear this is the last one but please look at this bluejay
A real bigfoot is going to show up and the OP’s mom is going to be the only one around.
the way people talk about Koreans on Tik Tok genuinely makes me want to throw up
I think that we should rlly talk about how people speak when it comes to Koreans and how we r literally treated like a whole sexuality n non-human. ppl say shit like “I want a Korean partner!” just as casually as someone says “I want a goth gf” n it’s gross. n it’s not just “preference” or whatever y’all wanna excuse it as, it’s real-time objectification n fetishization. u get these whities who go through partners like night n day, then u look at all the photos they post w their s/o’s n every single one of them is Korean (maybe Japanese too if they feel like “branching out”). there r bitches literally fighting over who started liking Koreans first and arguing that “people only like Koreans now because squid game made it trendy” like are y’all hearing yourselves. n it’s particularly bad on tik tok, but I’ve seen it on tumblr too w ur stupid white ppl shops that have clothing items named “Cute Korean girl sweater”, ur stupid “Korean-themed blogs” (whatever tf that means), n all the kpop stannies who write reader inserts about sleeping w their favs, like wtf is wrong w y’all.
I’m glad this is the one fucking thing u took from this entire post actually.
@textsfromsuperheroes had a bit like this set up where all the other villains were laughing at Lex for getting drunk at Halloween and going “I get the cape now!” before jumping off the building and trying to kiss Superman when he caught him.
I’m only just realizing thst the “Catnip” is likely planted. Look st the movement of the cops hand in the second gif. Looks more like he’s passing it from hand to hand
In the second gifset you can even see the bag underneath the armour so yeah its v much planted
I really cannot get over this cats fucking face it’s so round and conveying an emotion that I simply am not equipped to understand
I WAS AT THIS MEETING, I MET THIS CAT. I forget his name but he was soooo sweet, I think it was Councilman Clark who brought him in! This was at the very first meeting in Denver to decide whether to ban declawing (the ban succeeded!)
Update: I emailed this post to councilman Clark, subject line “your kitty is famous”
Update 2: Councilman Clark responded, he thinks this is awesome and his cat’s name is Kit Kat
Thank you Kit Kat for protecting the cats of Denver!
I think the emotion on Kit Kat’s face is democratic engagement.
honestly that “it costs 0 dollars to be kind” bullshit is bullshit. it does cost things to be kind. it costs time. it costs energy. and it isn’t always easy and it isn’t always natural. it costs so much to be kind, sometimes. but that’s the whole point. if being kind were easy, or simple, every single person would be an angel. but they’re not, and the world isn’t easy and simple. so no, it does cost something to be kind. but it’s worth it anyway.
There is no shared white history. Europeans all hated each other from the first settlers up until the 1500s. No Italian has even fucking heard the word “Odin” until long after (”white”) christian missionaries nearly eradicated that religion. If you and I are both white than our ancestors probably fucking hated each other. Hell, if you’re a white mutt like me, various roots of your own family tree fucking hated each other and considered each other foreign savage barbarians. The only thing that unifies the white race is skin color and privilege, and neither of those things fill me with any kind of pride.
I’m going to refute this later, but I’m in the middle of changing a flat tire.
lol no you’re not
the answer to his pinned question is no btw
This is true of any broad ethnicity really. Before being forcibly taken to the Americas, Africans were Fula, Yoruba, Mandé, etc. and those groups had conflicts with each other like any other groups of people. It was only through the violence of slavery that those ethnicities were erased and a shared Black/African American ethnicity emerged over time.

If you want to be proud of a heritage, be proud of the nation you live in or the culture you came from. White is neither of these things.
the thing about criticizing the thg movies as an adaptation is like. i get the impression that some of the scenes/characters that were left out of the movies were deliberately judged as less important to the narrative as a whole (even though obviously some things need to be cut for time), so they're a specific take on what Matters about thg. that's part of what makes adaptations extra interesting to criticize, but i also often feel like way different things matter to me about the source material lmao. with thg some of the differences are superficial but some change or disregard the underlying meaning/allegories so there's Much to say! idk it's a lot
YES BESTIE YOURE SO RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!! like whenever you’re adapting or recreating a source material what gets brought out and what gets cut isn’t just a random thing, it actually indicates what the creator of the adaption considers valuable within that source material and what they choose to emphasize actually says a lot more about the creator, their intended audience, and the medium of adaptation than most people like to imagine.
i mean for an extreme example we could look at the pjo movies! like the only things they took out of the books were “ok greek gods, he’s the son of poseidon, water powers, las vegas. got it” and yeah sure we can trash it to hell and back but it’s also an interesting thing to examine like, WHY did they find that to be the most important beats of the story? WHY did they add the weird pearl plot device – is it because they found the original plot (you know, the one written for twelve year olds) to be too confusing? WHY did they age all the characters up if they were hoping to ride the ya wave in a post harry potter film landscape? there’s so many interesting questions to dig into there!
and in the case of thg like YEAH i don’t want to beat a dead horse any more than i need to but i think it’s pretty clear that whoever was making, writing, and editing the film was perfectly fine cutting out the characters that exemplify the complexities and nuances of the need for solidarity despite the existence of a massive wealth gap between the poor and the elite, but they had no problem preserving the action movie feel and the competition element of the games. like YEAH no surprises that when hollywood adapted a fairly radical text they wiped out the majority of the social commentary in favor of the excitement and action that that very text itself was criticizing!!!!! GOD!!!
