you know when you think someone is mad at you but they dont say it outright?
and you also have trouble with nonverbal language so you think it’s just your anxiety and rejection sensitivity?
but you’re right? and they’ve actually hated you the whole time?
Be like me, be straight up. Use your damn words (constructively)

HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DECIDE?!?! WHAT?!?!
Peach conquers Thor, moving her on to round 2.
This time, it's... another Marvel vs. Nintendo match...
Huh, if I had a nickel for every time a Nintendo character fights a Marvel character, I'd have... at least 5 nickles. Where'd these other nickles come from?
Anyway, the Batman Brutalizer, Spider-Man, takes on the Cloud Cleaver, Link.
Nickle joke explained below. Spoilers for future DBR Battles
Aside from this battle and the previous battle (Peach vs. Thor), the other 3 are:
1. Dimitri vs. Silver Surfer
2. Mario vs. Ultron
3. And round 2's Samus vs. Rogue
today I used the phrase "breasting boobily" in casual real life conversation and everyone was shocked asking how I came up with that and I had to explain it. ive been at the devil's sacrament so long that I forgot he wasn't god
ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog

what do you mean lin manuel miranda dropped a hamilton nightcore album today i dont see anyone talking about this. Are you guys aware
The wildest thing about Ben 10 is that it took until 2005 for someone to have the idea "what if a kid could turn into a bunch of aliens" like this isn't obviously the coolest and most marketable premise for anything ever. Each design is a new toy. A new powerset. Come on.
But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.
Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!
The execution has its highs and lows, but the idea??? Game changing. So self-evident that it seems inevitable. If Ben 10 didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

it took a while for me to unlearn some of this but I love having a young heart and caring for the young hearts I meet. Kids aren’t your enemies, it what they are taught and what YOU are taught that are :) <3
you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.
you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.
you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.
you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.
you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.
You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.
i definitely understand the sentiment. another thing that I noticed after making it halfway through is that the digimon and digidestined rarely, if ever, get a break.
In adventure they imply the downtime, if not explicitly show it. In 2020 there is none between ep 12-20 or smth
I personally really liked AniPoké DP but I think the problem is how far it strays from the ideas of the original Digimon which puts emphasis on character development and relationship dynamics.
Some positives for 2020 are probably the creative way they integrate new technology into the existing world building, the digidestined fight alongside their digimon instead of watching from the sidelines and the plot isn’t horrible.
There’s definitely something good about Digimon 2020 it’s just not the quality we wanted/expected.
(sorry op i really needed to rant (>n<)
Something was just pointed out to me in a Reddit topic about the Digimon Adventure reboot.
It's generally no secret by now that the reboot isn't very well liked among the Digimon fandom. With often cited reasons being the bad pacing, the lack of notable characterization on each of the reboot's versions of the original 8 DigiDestined/Chosen Children to the point where they could be seen as "sanitized" versions, too edgy, no character development, the old voice actors both English and Japanese didn't reprise their roles nor did any of the voice actors actually hired tried to sound like the originals, and just overall stale, without creativity, and just exists to be a commercial.
I went onto a Reddit topic expressing dislike towards the Digimon Adventure reboot, finding some of the same sentiment there.
And in that topic, I had made a comment where I had pretty much noted that I remembered hearing that someone from the AniPoké XY staff had worked on it. I was responded to that comment by someone who said that the someone in question is the lead writer for AniPoké XY. In other words, Atsuhiro Tomioka. Looked it up to confirm just minutes ago as of writing this.
And yes. It's THAT Atsuhiro Tomioka.
The guy who was on the writing team for AniPoké ever since the Indigo League days, and had managed to become the lead writer from Diamond and Pearl to XY.
My thoughts in regards to hearing this pretty much amounted to "no wonder why the Digimon Adventure reboot sucked! Toei brought that hack into their showrunning staff!" However, none of the people I interacted with on that topic so far seem to be aware of how much of a hack he is.
Now, I will admit. This doesn't necessarily prove anything about some personal thoughts I've had regarding the portrayals of certain characters, particularly the portrayals of certain characters in AniPoké (an example being a certain French girl, also Ash during the DP and XY eras), and how any other character given similar if not identical portrayals would be pretty much hated in fandoms outside of the AniPoké fandom. But it does help substantiate those same thoughts. At any rate, I kinda find the sheer dissonance between the fandoms of the properties Tomioka had a hand in interesting and at the same time concerning. Especially since the AniPoké fandom, particularly the periphery audience, loves Tomioka's work, while the Digimon fandom, also that franchise's periphery audience in particular, hates it. If only there was a cut and dry reason for that dissonance. Maybe I'll never know that reason. Who can tell at this point?

"you need to put your age on your blog" you need to stop demanding strangers give you sensitive personal information
Now, it is very illegal to say "I think JD Vance killed the Pope," super illegal. Can't say it. Now it's okay for me to say it just now, because that was just me telling you it it is illegal to say "I think JD Vance killed the Pope." I'm not actually saying it, I'm just telling you it's illegal to say it. It's a public service
So, Yahoo bought Tumblr. I am very sad now. Tumblr was my life source. It kept me alive for so long and now… I don’t even know what to do. I can feel my body becoming weak. You ruined it Yahoo. I don’t even want to use Tumblr now if it’s going to be run by you. I might as well start planning my own funeral because I don’t know how long I will live without my power pack. Yes, I referred to Tumblr as my power pack. Why, you might ask; because when I’m not on Tumblr the world feels all wrong, but when I’m on it, I feel my energy rise. It kept me going and now you have taken that away. Great job! I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. Do you feel good about yourself Yahoo? Does it feel good taking away millions of peoples life source? What do we have to live for now? Yes, I know David Karp is the CEO still, but come on! You’ll probably just boot him out eventually. You suck Yahoo! You absolutely Suck! Oh, and by the way David Karp… We are no longer bffs. You’re not even an f. You’re just a b and it doesn’t stand for best. How could you let this happen? I thought we’d be tight forever. Now look what you’ve done. You have made the Tumblr population very sad. You should be ashamed of yourself. You hear me? ASHAMED!
Happy Easter everyone, let us not forget His sacrifice for us
genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

Why do my interests in canning, couponing, and homesteading overlap so often with blogs with titles like ‘The Obedient Housewife’?
as a cis-passing guy i dared to ask the question "how femme can i be be before my coworkers get uncomfortable" and the answer is apparently. a single gold dangling earring

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:
Not all Men are evil
Everyone has the capacity for evil
Transgender Men are men
Transgender Women are women
Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"
