i don’t know how to fight against what’s going on, but i’ll be damned if i ever shut up about it

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

Like it's crazy the Best Animated Picture Oscar has been a thing for the last like 23 years and I can count on just my hands the amount of movies that have won that were not Disney films(only 9), that thing used to essentially belong to Disney, and they haven't won it since 2021. The winners instead have been a Ghibli movie set in post-WWII Japan(The Boy and The Heron), a Latvian indie film made in Blender starring exclusively animals with no spoken dialog(Flow), and Guillermo del Toro's stop-motion Pinocchio which is set during WWI that pulled exactly 0 punches on the topic and is explicitly based on a version of Pinocchio that almost none of the intended audience was familiar with. Just. Where the hell are they getting the idea it's niche cultural films that are the problem, they're clearly very much not. Something at Disney is just fucking broken and until they fix it we're just gonna get incoherent sequels no one asked for and occasional original films which get left to fucking drown by Disney's marketing department like they're trying to Treasure Planet their entire animation department and/or Pixar as a studio.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

She’s now claiming that Nigel Farage is too woke.

Nigel.

Farage.

For those not too embedded into UK politics, he’s a monster. He’s the current lead for UKIP/Reform (UK’s version of MAGA— tho frankly I cannot tell the difference between UKIP, Labour and Tories anymore). He’s a massive racist, and spearheaded the monumentally horrific Brexit campaign.

I have lost count of the racist, xenophobic comments he has made.

He fucking praised Andrew Tate as being a great model for masculinity.

He has had multiple investigations into corruption, including financial corruption and repeatedly lying to the public. Even the fucking BBC— which puts up with EVERYTHING— has had investigations on him.

He’s admitted spreading misinformation. And, as status quo for the UK, he’s still allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants cos rich cis het white man.

THIS IS THE MAN ROWLING THINKS IS TOO WOKE. Nigel. Fucking. Farage.

Lads, this woman is losing her fucking mind because M&S had an advert for trans women to do bra sizing.

She is not just a best-selling novelist with bad opinions. She purchased the anti-trans/enby/intersex Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that is destroying lives. She has a massive amount of power here.

She absolutely is the Elon Musk of the UK.

Stop letting her get away with this shit.

And just a reminder, again, she has pledged every penny she makes on the new Potter series to further her anti-trans agenda. And since we know she has the ear of Keir Starmer and the UK government, it won’t be long before she purchases more laws to further criminalise us. Bathrooms were just the start.

Please. I’m begging you not to engage in the Potter series in ANY way. Don’t hate watch it. Don’t pirate it. Don’t click on interviews or articles about it. Don’t buy new merch. Just. Completely forget it exists and go out of your way to avoid anything to do with it. Because every penny goes to destroying queer lives.

I used to love Luigi(Mario's brother) when I was little. Like, he was my favorite character ever, and I had multiple plushies of him. Didn't give a fuck about Mario, vaguely tolerated Peach, but I loved Luigi.

On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me the number for his work phone and said it was Luigi's phone number. "If anything happens at school, call Luigi."And not even twenty minutes into my first day, I was having a panic attack. So I went down to the principal's office and called "Luigi."

Now, at the time, my father was in a meeting with his manager and his supervisor, along with most of his coworkers. And when I called, he picked up before he even left the room.

And he put on a very awful Italian accent and said, "Itsa me, Luigi! Whatsa the matter?"In front of his boss and coworkers. Without telling them what was going on. So they were absolutely bewildered, and he carried on like they didn't even exist. He only explained what was happening after I had calmed down and hung up, to which most of them responded with "Aww, cute."

I continued to call him whenever I got upset at school, and eventually his coworkers got in on it. I distinctly remember one of them impersonating Toad. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just thought it might make you smile :)

like. we know she can drink the color pink as a form of “low-grade red” as seen in S5E38 “Red Starved”, so can she drink other colors that contain the color red (orange, purple)? does draining the red out of an orange thing leave it yellow? and will it still taste the same to a normal human after having the red sucked from it?

and then that opens a whole ‘nother can of worms of the taste of red like do different red things taste different? she has red erasers packed as snacks in “Red Starved”, but do they taste like erasers or do they just taste like red? and if so then what does red taste like? does pink and other colors containing red taste different than straight up pure red?

and do they have different nutritional benefits for vampires? maybe pink is the equivalent of like candy for vampires- tastes sweeter but is far less filling and/or energizing than actual red. then orange would be like junk food like chips or pretzels or whatevs. but then what the fuck is purple?

what if the reason nobody in the pokemon world has any good teams is because its considered a dick move to have a proper team comp

like culturally everyone is like “haha pick the pokemon you want! if you’re happy with three geodudes, thats you and your life!” and then you’re supposed to just have a friendly battle with any other pokemon trainers and whatever pokemon they just happen to have

like the average trainer is probably just walking around with a growlithe because that’s their pet, or a hiker has three geodudes because the geodudes help him with hiking. and if this pet owner and geodude hiker meet, you’re supposed to have a friendly battle but nothing too serious

now imagine the 10 year old kid that has six pokeballs on their belt comes up. you’re like “haha, we’ll have a friendly battle!” and you throw out your geodude 

and they throw out a fucking gyarados, and it one-shots your geodude 

and then you throw out your pidgey you have because the pidgey helps you navigate mountains because you’re a hiker

and then electricity crackles around the gyarados and a thunderbolt flies off of this giant dragon and evaporates your pidgey 

so you’re down to your last pokemon. you tell them you’re gonna send out your bulbasaur. the ten year old is like “oh okay in that case i’m gonna pull out my vulpix.” like not only is this kid walking around with an amped-up super dragon, but theyve also got multiple pokemon specifically for making type advantage counter-picks?

hell yes i’d be mad if i took my chronic pain support chow-chow to the dog park and some asshole with four rottweilers and a husky was like SIC EM THUNDERNUTS even if my dog enjoyed the tussle at first.

“PLEASE WILL YOU STOMP MY TWO GEODUDE INTO THE EARTH!”

Like, fuck off, if Willy didn’t want my Swampert to one-shot his hiker helpers then he shouldn’t be trying to harass unaccompanied 10-year-olds halfway up a mountain. I mean, at some point, ya gotta know what a trainer looks like, and the majority of them are little tweens running around by themselves. These are little twerps trying to go up against the Elite Four, they’re not messing around.
