you actually feel gaslit when you try to tell white people of a certain age that pewdiepie, with a platform so vast and catering to youth, helped reinvigorate racism and casual dehumanization towards indians because they get all “omg you can’t blame One man for that” like yes i can actually :) we were very incrementally making our way past the gas station indian popularized by apu and indian creatives were finally being given legitimate and serious opportunities (like say what you will about aziz and mindy in hindsight but at the time that was a shift culturally) only for this dumb swedish pig to get online and spark that vile shit right back up. ask any indian with a modicum of pride in their heritage and they can tell you how uncomfortable pewdiepie made us with ourselves

just found out that there is a sudanfunds website! like gazafunds, it is a compilation of funds for people facing genocide
edit: i've added the correct link to this version of the post. if at all possible, please try to reblog this version or direct back to it. for some reason, the original sudanfunds link i put is now defunct. the correct site is still called sudanfunds and is now back up, and that's what is now on this version of the post. hope this makes sense
> immediately see an influx of panphobic posts for some reason
anyway uh. reminder that pansexuality is fine to use and doesnt hurt bisexuals. its really just a preference of which word you want to use. its not that deep. no one calling themselves pan is a fucking biphobe
Quick little thing, some Argit and Rook interaction.
~~
“See, your problem is you’re too nice about it.”
Rook very much did not harumph into his drink. This was the downside to spending any sort of casual time with Argit, he wasn’t afraid to voice his opinion. And to do so casually, like they were friends.
“I have no intention of being rude,” he said, levelling a firm look that the Erinaen ignored as he tucked into his own meal.
"And yet Benny and his Gramps don’t have that problem," he said. “I’m telling ya, the only way to get fuckers to stop acting like your species and culture is weird or ‘exotic’ is to hit ‘em with how theirs is. Fuck, you gotta have a better eye for that than I do, I grew up around way more cultures and species.” Rook’s glower turned into a proper glare at the implication he didn’t understand other cultures.
“They did teach us about other peoples and how to deal with them in the Academy,” he said, puffing up as Argit chittered a laugh.
“Do they? Wouldn’t know it from a Tennyson.” Shaking his head with a chuckle, Argit popped a piece of fruit in his mouth, barely taking the time to chew before swallowing. “Seriously, turn it around on ‘em, you’ll be shocked how fast that family can learn to cough up a pit.”

A genuinely friendly reminder, since pride month is coming up and I'm seeing a lot of pride-related posts:
Bisexual is a general term for people attracted to genders both like and unlike their own. Pansexual, Omnisexual, and Polysexual are more specific terms under the same umbrella
Bisexuality is NOT inherently transphobic, it will always include transgender and non-binary people
Pansexuality is NOT inherently biphobic, it's just a more specific term for gender-blind attraction
Omnisexuality is NOT "just being pansexual", it describes attraction to all genders without gender-blindness
Polysexuality is NOT a fake identity, it describes attraction to multiple but not all genders
Bisexuals, Pansexuals, Omnisexuals, and Polysexuals are all valid, and they all deserve a safe place at pride and within our community ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Two things in the brain right now, one of which is getting a consolidary post, congratulations.
Argit shoulda joined the fucking team.
'But Achi it's Argit' I hear you say. 'Achi what the fuck' I hear you say. 'But Achi why' I hear you say. My loves, trust me.
To start with, we should have gotten him instead of Kevin in UAF.
I know! I know! I haven't gone two days without a Kevin thought for sixteen years, six months, and nine days exactly, I love him too, put down the pitchforks!
Alien Force would have had an actual blatant alien in the main cast rather than us occasionally being reminded that the trio were supposed to be some. We could have leaned into the fact aliens are living on Earth prior to OV, would have damn near been forced to.
You know how much people whine about Kevin's sudden redemption? No longer an issue! New character, new start, and we don't even actually lose Kevin for it! He's Argit's friend and partner in crime, instead of having 'oh Kevin isn't murderous and is actually quick friends with the people he tried to kill who are mostly good with him' we get a more organic 'getting to see how Kevin has grown and improved over the years through his relationship with Argit while the Tennysons have mixed feelings because of the history'!
Or the rushing of Gwevin! By making Kevin a side character rather than a main and altering his relationship to the team you add space that would let the pairing develop more organically! And you know if they were gonna set Gwen up with somebody it would end up Kevin, sure as shit it wouldn't be Argit.
It also makes for a completely different team dynamic, especially since there wouldn't be that baggage hovering over everything. Fuck, let Gwen have the vitriolic bestie she deserves! Let us see some of how the past still affects Ben with him wanting to be friends with Kevin again and Argit helping bridge the gap and complicated feelings their history has caused. Let Gwen get to show off her martial arts, combine it with her powers and magic, since Argit sure as shit isn't gonna be filling Kev's brawler role.
I am still fucking bitter that Gwen's martial arts got left to the side in favor of fucking 'women are ranged fighters' brand crap.
Sure we couldn't have Argit as he started out in canon, but lean more into how he is in the Rooters Arc, how he seems to have been as a kid, and it's totally doable!
Or, if you don't want to lose the old trio, just as firmly Argit should have joined the team in OV.
I know! I know! I will lock those pitchforks in a vault, don't start with me! Hear your bitch out!
I know that OV was going for a Buddy Cop vibe, but the show lost a bit of something with it. Love Rook, ya know I do, but the central team for every other series in the franchise is based around trios. Ben, Gwen, and Max. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin. Fuck, we get introduced to Manny and Helen- the only good guys introduced as a duo if I remember rightly- as a broken trio. Add on that the buddy cop thing is tied to the copaganda OV is rampant with, and going back to the tried and true trio makes sense. Bring balance back to the force.
And who better to put in the trio but Argit? It gives room to foreshadow the Rooters arc, especially with the existence of Argit 10 which would take on a whole new edge. Rook can be made as good a foil for him as for Ben- both alien immigrants in the same age range living on Earth, but with wildly different viewpoints, backgrounds, and morals. You don't even have to do some sudden change in Argit, just have him keep getting roped into shit, or maybe Kevin asked him to keep an eye on things to pay back a favor. It would probably be best if he wasn't always involved, since it would be a big shift from what came prior and would need to be worked in and up to, but that would just open the gate for more episode that deal with each chunk of the team.
We only get the one episode of UAF that has Ben and Gwen working on their own, this way you could do more of similar with various combinations of Ben, Argit, and Rook. Heck, could throw in more episodes focusing on Rook or Argit on their own with just background Ben. It would allow for more storyline variety, more character exploration, more dynamics exploration.
If there is anything canon was sorely, desperately, missing it was Rook getting help from Argit with settling into life on Earth, I'm sorry but it's true.
Heck, Rook's unmet expectations for Ben could be a stronger plotpoint if we're sitting him beside Argit 'you never try to change a partner' Levin. Play with shit like that, places where Argit is right, give him some spots of moral high ground. Play off the 'farmboy who went from home to Academy to Earth' against the 'mess who's first seen in the Null Void then travels the galaxy before coming to Earth'.
There is every reason for Kevin and Argit to be so much more worldly and knowledgeable than Ben, Gwen, and Rook and that should be taken advantage of more. By putting Argit in OV we get an opening.
As I put it in an old post- "-the Sliding Scale of Alien Knowledge- from Argit’s 'I am an alien and I’ve been living among a wide variety species if not my whole life than for over half a decade’ to Ben’s 'I have canonically about three/four years experience becoming and fighting a wide variety of species’ to Rook’s 'I am an alien and have been living among a wide variety of alien species for maybe a year, probably a matter of months’."
And that's before we get into the sudden opening to learn more Argit backstory, which would more than likely give us more to work with for Kevin as well (we already get two episodes hitting on Kevin's backstory, with Argit there to work with we would get more and odds are Kevin would be in at least one).
Look, just, this post. Trust me.
And the fucking Rooters Arc, again we could have gotten more foreshadowing! Could have already been asking questions and then that shit gets dropped on us! It wouldn't have felt as out of nowhere! Sure the change wouldn't fix the problems with it, but it could have helped!
And we could have kept the fucking improvement in his character we saw leading up to that point- rather than seeing him go from a six to a four then suddenly swing to an eight on the evil scale there towards the end- since he would be a part of the main cast by then!
Character development! Character exploration! Worldbuilding! Dynamic interactions! More balanced character work and growth! There is so much to gain from this simple concept of dropping Argit in with the heroes and letting him stumble grumbling and just a little panicked into the role of a mild antihero.
And most important, most necessary thing ever- it would go a long way towards explaining how 'Uncle Argit' became a thing and how he ended up being the only relative we see Kenny hug.
ben gwen and argit also works as i’ve said before, i don’t think ben gwen and alan would’ve made as good a team,
i don’t think he would’ve played off them as well where we’re introduced to him, he’d need to get his footing first and i think he would struggle with that working with them,
meanwhile argit i think he could play off of well and especially since for this, we would most likely be working with a more rooters-arc-esque argit?, i think that sort’ve argit would be better for helping alan get his feet under him than the tennysons would be,
no insult to them but they tend to be strong personalities and having so much more experience than alan?, and being morally grey-ish characters treated and being declared in universe to be porally upstanding?, i think he might get overwhelmed with them and find himself struggling to really build his confidence, especially since as i’ve said elsewhere he’s one of the most moral characters we get,
being able to work off somebody who’s morally grey openly and actively? who also has no heroing experience? but still has morals and cares?, (‘even i know you never try to change a partner’ ‘don’t give up on him we owe him that’ damn near everythign from the rooters arc-), i think he’d have an easier time there,
also you can’t tell me you don’t want that scene where the sheriff decides alan is gonna work for him, only instead argit snatches him from him in open refusal to allow it despite hardly knowing the kid, in what the show would probably use to show how immoral he is but could be better used as an early show of the morals he does have, and how the cops lack these basic things even this guy who sold his own mother understands,
Argit definitely should've been a 3rd Protagonist in Omniverse alongside Ben and Rook
Just hear me out, Argit's character bounces off so well against Ben and Rook's characters
He is a PERFECT foil to Rook.
-Both are Aliens who live on Earth but while Rook is clearly a Fish out of Water, Argit already seems to know well about Earth Culture and blends right into it
-Rook is a "By-the-Book" Cop who has a very Black and White sense of Morality, while Argit is a Sleezy Conman and is in the Grey Area of Morality (granted it's a rather dark shade of Grey but it's still Grey nonetheless)
-Rook is an Alien based on Cats and other Felines while Argit is an Alien based on Rats and other Rodents
Ben could be a perfect balance between the two. While Ben is a Hero, he is also kinda a dick tbh.
Rook and Argit could play roles like being the Angel and Devil on Ben's shoulders.
And I just think Argit and Ben's interactions are funny lol
Anon I am gonna agree with you for the following reasons-
I've been saying for a while that the story overall would've been improved if he'd been the one to join Team Tennyson rather then Kevin. You'd have to make him a lighter shade of morally grey (personally I'd do it by leaning more into the sort've characterization we got in the Rooters Arc, where he's shown as more loyal and courageous even if the bar is low) but it would avoid the rushing of Kevin's change to a 'good' character while still allowing him to be in the show, remove what I still hold is a poorly done romantic subplot or at least force it to be done differently, add an alien to the cast earlier without having to go 'everything is aliens so technically', and as you said, at least halfway, his interactions with the Tennysons are still plenty amusing and leave room for some interesting dynamics.
The fact Argit and Rook aren't played against each other more pains me. Because as you said they could be made into good foils but also the 'new immigrant to a strange land and established immigrant to that land' dynamic could be so good. Plus you get the option of the more inexperienced Rook as compared to the more worldly Argit (Rook went from a backwoods planet where his connection with the rest of the galaxy was via radio to the Academy and then to Earth, meanwhile what we see of Argit starts out in the Null Void, travels the galaxy with Kevin, and then comes to Earth (which also is 100% why he's better with Earth stuff than Rook- he had years travelling with an Earth native and then a few years living on Earth before OV starts, while Rook has nothing but Ben's file and whatever info the ethernet has on the planet to go off at OV start)). This stuff could be very well played with.
Plus, a point of the foil scale you didn't mention- Argit's belief that you shouldn't try to make your partner someone they're not (including just accepting sudden changes in behavior just because they fit what you want them to be) as compared to Rook's desire in early OV for Ben to meet his expectations, to the extent that when Ben is swapped with he ignores the red flags because 'Ben' is acting more like what Rook wanted him to be. Could be interesting to have that as a running thing in the background, Rook's disappointment vs Argit's acceptance, before it comes to a head in that episode.
Also, because you know how people are with narrative foils, the chaos that would erupt between Rook/Argit fans (you know they'd happen) vs Rook/Ben fans (which already fucking happened). Actually thinking about it it'd probably be more Ben/Argit fans circling the tags opposite Rook/Ben fans, because this fandom puts shipping Tennysons above any other ship in existence, but the three options would dominate and be a complete mess. I dread and yearn for the shipping maps people would come up with.
-Seriously, it opens so many options there that the fandom would've gone absolutely ass over tits wild. It'd have been total anarchy. We got a bit of a mess when it was Gwevin and Benlie vs Bevin, can you imagine this?
Then you get the opening for more Argit background, which more background for characters is always a good thing, and since OV was bigger into worldbuilding we'd have probably gotten more info on his species. You can even get episodes contrasting him and Rook and how they got to the places they are in life (the farmboy from a strict conservative culture who heard stories of heroics and decided to leave home to pursue them, becoming a cop due to his hero's association and probably also because his upbringing made the cop thing seem like a Good vs the homeless and family-less child who presumably first turns to crime due to lack of options and then grows to fit that mold due to his young age at start). (even if Argit had anything pre-Rooters, he sure as fuck only had Kevin after, and Kevin we know is in that position) (and hey opening for more about their relationship)
And of course you get the interactions as a trio, as you said Rook being the Lawful Good influence and Argit the Neutral Evil (probably working towards true neutral) influence to Ben's Neutral Good. Plus, you also get the Sliding Scale of Alien Knowledge- from Argit's 'I am an alien and I've been living among a wide variety species if not my whole life than for over half a decade' to Ben's 'I have canonically about three/four years experience becoming and fighting a wide variety of species' to Rook's 'I am an alien and have been living among a wide variety of alien species for maybe a year, probably a matter of months'. Group arguments, group agreements (sometimes of the most unlikely sort), two guys ganging up to tease the third, a running gag of Argit lamenting that Ben and Rook are wasting themselves on fucking law enforcement. An episode where Argit and Rook both have fleas and spend it arguing about who gave them to who. And episode where they both confront Ben on his tendency towards speciest comments and that get handled. The fucking Rooters arc and what changes there. And the appearance of Argit 10 in the multiverse episodes would take on an entirely new common view (closer to my own because come on Paradox was only bringing them to Good Bens), he may have even joined the group there.
Just, it could've been very fun and very interesting. But no, we can't have joy in our lives.
There is an AU trying but not quite managing to exist in my head where everything goes as in canon except the Rooters arc doesn’t get as far as actually going after the Tennysons because something pushes Kevin over the edge early and while the other kids get out fine (they’re not his main focus and Argit handles shit) the Rooters themselves? Do not last the day. Includes such glorious things as “Kevin not having any of the incentive Servantis put in him to get close to the Tennysons”, “Kevin not being officially listed as on parole and actually being seriously wanted for, ya know, slaughtering a handful of cops”, and “extra Kevin trauma because now he has these murders to hate himself for on top of everything else that happens with him, even if Argit 100% was repeating ‘they deserved it’ over and over”.
The most that will try to settle in my brain is the start of AF where
Kevin does not initiate a fight with Ben. The only reason he doesn’t fuck off is because Labrid’s main focus is less on the actual villains and more on stopping him- he and Ben’s fight is essentially a case of ‘we’d rather just avoid each other but this guy has Escalated the situation to this point’
He and Labrid’s short relation is far more aggressive, given Labrid looks at him and sees pure evil down to his very core, public enemy number one, yadda yadda, and Kevin looks at him and sees Another Fucking Pig Starting Shit
There is no handcuffing Kevin with energy because the Tennysons are like ‘we’ve seen him work with that sort’ve shit before’, Labrid is not happy with the realization that they can’t actually properly bind him with the materials on hand but he’s just gotta suck it up
Getting Kevin to help them out involves a lot of ‘you scratch our backs we’ll scratch yours’ from the Tennysons with, again, no help from Labrid
Trusting Kevin takes a lot fucking longer for the Tennysons because, again, notorious cop killer. Not sure what pushes them properly in that direction (part of me is saying ‘Argit tells them the fuckers were keeping him in a cage in a lab at the time, Kevin saved him, so the cousins can shove their opinions where the sun don’t shine’ but I’m also of a mood, so…) but it also very much pushes them in the direction of actually, you know, questioning their pro-cop upbringing.
Also working with Kevin makes some things a lot more fraught (namely anything to do with dealing with Plumbers) and also has a notable effect on how Ben is viewed across the galaxy. Like, he saved the galaxy! Yay! But also the Plumbers are Very Not Happy about who he hangs out with and that’s bound to get some fucking Anti-Ben 10 shit out there.
Max is a lot less chill with Kevin being, just around in general. Not only does he not have Servantis’s brainwashing going on, but also, again, this kid tried to kill his grandson, harassed his family, and slaughtered a whole R&D team. He Does Not Like this situation.
I feel like the official report on the destruction of the Rooters paints Kevin as just, generic vicious criminal who broke into the base and slaughtered everyone to get access to their portal projector, which is relevant because I don’t think Kevin argues the matter aside from making it clear that the portal projector played no role in his decision to go a murdering. Which is true, but also leaves out the fact that he and a load of other people were being experimented on and trained into child soldiers because between his issues and the brainwashing Servantis pulled Kevin really doesn’t… He can’t look back and see that as something that was done to him rather than something he participated in. (That applies to canon Kevin too, I’m pretty sure, given that even after he got his memories back he still referred to himself and Servantis as partners. Presumably there’s a bit of a mental block there because when you’ve already got his issues it’s easier to just throw that whole mess into the ‘big ol’ past mistakes’ folder rather than the ‘I was used and abused and used to use and abuse other people and twisted into thinking it was all for the Greater Good when it was really for another person’s personal gain’ folder.)
To get the actual story of what happened rather than Kevin just brushing the whole topic off while honestly making himself look worse you’d have to go to another of their victims, and even then only Argit could really give you a full ‘wasn’t brainwashed’ overview of the situation.

I was about to write a lengthy response to @redstonedust's post about how "cozy game" gets applied to so many different types of games, since this is a regular topic of conversation in the cozy game community, too. But then I realized it could all be boiled down to this:
(Other potential, but less often talked about, points of alignment to consider: art style and difficulty)
[Image Description: An edit of the 'furry purity alignment chart', made into the 'cozy game purity alignment chart'. The horizontal top row is about gamefeel, and the leftmost vertical row is about content. Going from left to right on the 'gamefeel' row, the first is 'gamefeel purist', which is defined as, 'the game should be relaxing (especially purposefully so) the whole time'. The second is 'gamefeel neutral', which is defined as, 'the game should be considered low-stress most of the time'. Finally is 'gamefeel rebel', which is defined as, 'the game only needs to be 'cozy' to you, no matter how you define that'. Going from top to bottom on the 'content' row, the first is 'content purist', which is defined as, 'the game needs to be a life sim, preferably with an emphasis on plants, character interaction, and/or wholesomeness'. The second is 'content neutral', which is defined as, 'the game needs to lack combat as a main mechanic and/or have an emphasis on non-violence, but can delve into some darker topics'. Finally is 'content rebel', which is defined as, 'any type of game can be a cozy game, including violent games and games heavily featuring dark topics'.
There is a game cover at the intersection of each alignment, plus the text, '(Game title) is a cozy game'. Animal Crossing: New Horizons as a cozy game is 'gamefeel purist, content purist'. The Sims 4 as a cozy game is 'gamefeel neutral, content purist'. Grimshire as a cozy game is 'gamefeel rebel, content purist'. Spiritfarer as a cozy game is 'gamefeel purist, content neutral'. Undertale's pacifist route as a cozy game is 'gamefeel neutral, content neutral'. The Stanley Parable as a cozy game is 'gamefeel rebel, content neutral'. Balatro as a cozy game is 'gamefeel purist, content rebel'. Fran Bow as a cozy game is 'gamefeel neutral, content rebel'. And, finally, Dark Souls III as a cozy game is 'gamefeel rebel, content rebel'.

there’s such a lack of aromantic representation that isnt just “oh I’m broken I feel no romantic attraction” because in my experience the uncertainty of the lack of attraction is almost more pronounced than any feeling of being “broken”. Also I want more aro characters in general that aren’t headcannons
sex in media has always been potrayed as the ultimate romanitc act - and i think thats why so many people, when informed that some asexuals enjoy sex, take it and run with it while the mere idea of an aromantic but NOT asexual person having sex makes them uncomfortable
intimacy is not inherently romantic and lack of romantic attraction is not inherently damaging to none of the people involved

This video has been getting AI accusations and it isn't! All these types of woods exist! Though some of them are local names, I was able to track all of them down! Here are all the woods shown in the video!
Purpleheart Wood: Peltogyne genus, native to Central and South American rainforests. Freshly cut it's light brown, then turns into rich shades of purple. It turns brown in UV light so it has to be finished with a UV inhibitor to keep those gorgeous colors.
Namnu (various): A type of precious wood found in China/South Asia, sourced from various different species of trees, hence the different examples shown here. High grades of the wood are known for the optical effect shown in the video. Unfortunately the types of trees that produce the wood are all critically endangered, which is why the examples shown are all items or pillars or fragments of pieces. The species are all strictly protected and new trees cannot be harvested.
That example in the video is just that one video that goes around with the inside of a tree that's been struck burning while it still stands, but sometimes trees that have been struck by lightning and are cut down can have neat burn patterns in the wood (example), as the lightning goes to ground, so some people might want that. Who am I to judge.
Chicken-blood vine wood: Species is Spatholobus suberectus and it's only that bright when it's cut, it dries to a more woody color. Here's a page with examples of what the wood looks like when it's dried and some things made with it.
Amber wood: This one took a while. There's a video out there claiming this is "petrified amber wood". That's not possible, I'm a geologist I would know. Since the video is in Chinese originally I presume, "amber wood" must be a translated local name. It's sandalwood, which has that gorgeous bright red color. Even tracked down the video the clip is taken from. "Chandan wood" is another name for sandalwood. Which smells amazing.
Rosewood: The most well known of the woods here in my opinion. There's a number of rosewoods, all in various shades of pinks and reds. True rosewoods are from the genus Dalbergia. Sadly they're all endangered, but illegal harvesting continues.
Purple hainan huanghuali: Dalbergia odorifera, the Chinese rosewood.
Pink oak - Likely pink ivory (Phyllogeiton zeyheri). You need a permit to cut down one of these trees, but it really is that pink. One of the most expensive woods in the world, up there with sandalwood.
Burmese huanghuali: Rosewood...3! This is either Dalbergia oliveri or Pterocarpus indicus, but given that Pterocarpus indicus is descripted as having purplish heartwood, I'm guessing it's Dalbergia oliveri. Though it's not a true rosewood, Pterocarpus indicus is also sadly endangered.
Liudao wood: This is Abelia biflora, though it looks like it has been reclassified as Zabelia biflora recently. Either it only looks like that when the bark is being peeled or it's the lighting in the videos. BUT this wood is used in making Buddhist prayer beads because of both its grain pattern connects to philosophy and its mention in Tibetan Buddhist texts.
Thank you for all that work!! I recognized some of the woods (since my siblings in law woodwork) but not all of them, and was going to look into them when I woke up, but you've gone and brought up all the treasure from the rabbit hole!
