misha collins makes history as the first straight person asked to fake his sexuality for the sake of his career by a major entertainment studio
It's really funny to take Spanish with people from different Spanish-speaking countries, because the ones from South American countries are like "Yeah no one uses vosotros, we don't know what it's doing here" and the ones from Europe are like "If you don't give our beloved second-person plural its due respect, the Hounds will find you"

the mcu needs to die the mcu needs to die the mcu needs to die not just for art or because i hate it or because their movies are algorithmically generated or bc they don’t hire union crews but because it has completely saturated the market and because of the lack of taste it engenders in people im sick of it. im sick of it. stop talking about movie #425 like its changed the game its monopolized the game you’re all chumps
if i ever come off a little weird and you wonder if theres something wrong with me there is theres actually so many things wrong with me but im doing such a good job being normal. so you should actually be proud of me you should smile and be like wow youre doing such a good job and then be on your merry way
i know everyone on this website means well, but if you ask me “which of these characters is sadder/wetter/doing worse in general”, and one of the opinions is harry dubois, you’re kidding yourself if you choose the other one. you’re kidding yourself for even suggesting it. he doesn’t know what the alphabet is. everyone he works with fucking hates him. he routinely threatens to kill himself while doing his job. he got broken up with SIX YEARS AGO and is still on like, day one of the grieving stage. he can die from sitting down in an uncomfortable chair. his clothes are soaked in piss and vomit all the time. as if all that wasn’t enough he’s also a cop like come on guys nobody is doing worse than him, we should just accept he’s an unattainable #1 and start polling for who is in second place
jesus christ. surviving is not enough. you have to eat the strawberries and paint and cook an absurdly delicious dinner. thanks zombie show
What happens when you don't report pornbots
What you can see here are among the most popular posts of the last month for the convin (Connor/Gavin Detroit Become Human) tag for the last month. And presumably popular in lollipop, cityscape, rick day, eva long, dostoyevsky, and all the other random, unrelated tags added to these posts.
You can see two identical posts made by separate bots that feature a bit.ly (so, disguised, you don't know whether the address is safe/where you're going) link to a website that contains an image of a pretty young women (but who knows what else).
Each post is liked by about a dozen other bots, and only bots. (I reported them all, so can confirm their profiles were obviously those of bots/porn bots.) Some of them even use the same image in the pfp. Some are developed blogs full of porn images, some are clearly newer and don't even have a pfp yet. They are all gaining legitimacy from each other by the likes which act as links to their Tumblrs, and adding legitimacy to the post they have liked, which links to their ultimate goal: the site where they make money in undoubtedly dodgy ways.
They are doing this to legitimise their websites for search engines like Google, but if you don't care about that, it has the same effect in your Tumblr tags.
If we don't stop them, ALL your favourite hashtags are going to be full of meaningless posts like this, and probably porn you don't want to see (very different from porn you DO want to see).
This is why we report and block, lads. Not just because they are annoying and irrelevant to us, but because if we don't stop them they will take over this hellsite, and they very clearly do not understand the nature of the hell in which we live.
i really want to go on a bender with whoever wrote that scene in Su-zakana

KIM KITSURAGI — The lieutenant takes off his spectacles and rubs his eyes wearily. “Do you ever get so tired that you start seeing spiders?” he mumbles.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY — You sure do, brother.
YOU — “Me when I take 17 Benadryl and start seeing the hat man.”
KIM KITSURAGI — The lieutenant opens his mouth to say something, then promptly shuts it again, frowning. He slowly puts his spectacles back on just to stare at you.
EMPATHY [Easy: Success] — He’s trying very hard to process what you just said. He’s utterly failing, though.
KIM KITSURAGI — “…The *who*?”
REACTION SPEED — Oh, is this not a safe space suddenly?](https://64.media.tumblr.com/872363463742e5b127da297da8f8dd7e/b3c4017baee944a9-39/s500x750/68f93fb56cd84784adf298c27f67b84d8d7c7238.png)

A moment of light during the siege
One thing that always weirds me out is people commenting on fics like they are literary critics? "This plot-point doesnt avance the overall storyline and is derivative" "the character's actions disregard the overarching themes". Like imagine being able to write —gratis, may I add! Nobody is paying for fanfic!! —, anything in the world but still choosing to be bound by editorial standards and nag random people in the internet about it. Some people out here be acting like they run CinemaSins, —for FANFIC, could you imagine— really couldn't be me.
As we enter a new year, take a moment and consider the many reasons it's good to be a thinking, feeling human being living on such a special planet.
Bats can hear shapes. Plants can eat light. Bees can dance maps. We can hold all these ideas at once and feel both heavy and weightless with the absurd beauty of it all.

May I add, I always found weird equalling the RCM with (what I assume is) the American police system, because such an analogy undermines the colonial aspect that pervades the writing of Disco Elysium. The RCM serves as a police body, of course, but it is still in its foundation a Citizens Militia, an (ostensibly) local organization that emerges in the category 5 catasthrope that is the occupation of Revachol by foreign forces. The RCM is formed because no one, (and could be argued, as is done in Disco Elysium!!! not even the RCM itself), can restore a modicum of order in Revachol. It is not a police body that emerges out of a state machinery with the highest security expenditure in the world.
I’ve always disliked the ACAB in the context of DE discourse because I feel it obfuscates motivations of characters like Kim, who voluntarily choose to join the RCM. A man who wears bomber jackets relics of a revolutionary past, yet sympathizes with moralist rhethoric. Kim is not only proudly Revacholian, he also believes in the RCM despite its multiple shortcomings. At the same time Kim suffers more than most the chauvinistic discrimination that usually pervades police bodies. Such contradictory allegiances only make sense in the context of the colonial condition of Kim and of the city of Revachol.
“ACAB”, “the only happy ending should be leaving the RMC”, “you’re a terrible person if you draw/write these characters enjoying the sort of corrupt cop stuff that they canonically do in-game” discourse is killing meeee
God forbid you don’t performatively remind everyone that you do hate cops, actually; and god forbid that you don’t find that True Healing and Happiness for them can only be achieved by leaving the force.
Metas could be written about how Kim and Harry are actually deeply flawed people who enjoy wielding some form of authority in a way that they actually feel best working as cops
(is it healthy? no. is it Good™? no. Is it true to their character? this is where media interpretation comes in)
Metas could be written about how that doesn’t mean ACAB isn’t real, that just means they’re the kind of shitheads (that we, the players, still love) who enjoy being cops
Metas could be written questioning the amount they’d have to change to adapt to a life as civilians, how much and what kind of a push they’d need to go for it, if it’s change they could even manage, if they could financially survive it, if they could find fulfillment in any other career, at their age
But no. Why waste time on that instead of easy slogans. I mean, we like them, these characters, and we don’t want to feel guilty for liking them, because what does it say about us, then, that we like flawed cops?
(nothing it says nothing it says we played a good nuanced extremely well-written game that skillfully made us like the sort of character whose past actions include sequestering some woman and beating a dude into disability. that’s what it says. i’d even argue that discomfort is part of the point)
though i guess you can’t really ‘discover’ one of the biggest names of science fiction, this is specifically about isaac asimov
