Ruins and Rumination

They're nominating the Intro to Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out for Shit You Listen To When You're Not Only Sad, but also Vindicated, but also Excited, but also Manic, but also Pained, but also You're On Top of the World

And then they're nominating the ensuing song portion of it for Songs to Kill Everyone and then Yourself To

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

swifties always going on the "you just hate women" defense like first of all Taylor Swift is not a woman she's an unskippable ad

A big thing about me and RPGs is that I do not need or even want the game to constantly reassure me that my player character is the specialest and most important person who ever lived. Yes, they are the hero and most of the time the main character, and the power fantasy that comes with being level 100 in a video game and eating monsters for breakfast is fun. But for me that power fantasy needs to be balanced with the verisimilitude of a world that doesn't feel like it revolves around one character 100% of the time. I want NPCs that are rude to my OC. I want NPCs who don't like them. I want NPCs who don't know who the fuck they are and don't care. I want to feel like they can lose sometimes, not because they found the One Other Character who is as badass as they are but just because they are a person and sometimes people lose. I want them to sometimes participate in stories that are about other people. Because for me, if they are too special and too perfect and too powerful, it's not just the character that stops feeling believable and engaging; the entire world stops feeling real and inhabited, and starts to feel like just a flattened tableau to pose in front of. And that's not what I want out of a game. I want a world to play in that feels vaster and fuller than one character could ever know. And it's infinitely possible to make a world feel like that if you just make parts of the world indifferent to and even casually hostile to the player character without being villains. They aren't your archnemesis. They just don't know you. Ma'am, this is Fantasy Wendy's. It is good worldbuilding for a world to not fawn over your player character all the time and this is a hill I will die on.

I love bisexual fans and bisexual characters and bisexual OCs and bisexual headcanons and bisexual ships and bisexual stories and bisexual friends and bisexual art and being bisexual. 💙💜💗

Endwalker gave Zenos shippers everything, they were asking for. A new outfit, a dinner date and he was inside you by the end of the night and had you sprinting back to tell your friends about him. Literally took you to the moon and back and followed you to the ends of the earth.

i need to say this in a safe space. i hate the word hubby. it is revolting. i never want to have to see or hear that word again

that one extremely homoerotic painting of a babylonian man listening to a babylonian twink playing babylonian harp. that one

this is my favorite painting full stop

that “babylonian twink” is King David

The baffled twink composing Hallelujah

omg now i’m like. what does this make frodo by hobbit standards

by hobbit standards, I’m afraid Frodo is probably. not conventionally attractive at all.

Frodo is the sexiest hobbit by elf standards

Every day, against my will, the LOTR fandom makes posts.

We getses tagged teamed by the precious hunky orcses boys til we’re wrung out like a soggy dishes rag we does

Sorry that was uncalled for
