Roll For Tea Blend

ROUND 2 — Match 22 of 138

Garak (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

Problematic because: "worked for the space fascist lizard KGB" Propaganda: "there is truly so much going on with him. he was exiled from his home for mysterious reasons, he's gay, he kills people, they put a chip in his brain, at least 2 regimes want him dead, he is determined to escape exile and he wants to die but the twink doctor he's involved with won't let that happen. i don't want to spoil more than i already have"

vs. Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

Problematic because: "manipulating young girls into contracts that force them to kill monsters until they themselves turn into monsters" Propaganda: "This behavior was ultimately not based on any form of malice, as they supposedly have no emotion(considered a rare mental illness for their kind) and they needed to harvest human girls to stall out the heat death of the universe. Plus they're just this unkillable little freak that will just consume their corpse as soon as they get into a new vessel, just to bother one of the girls that they're talking to."

It was just so rude compared to what I was used to. I’ll take grouchy advice when I need it to polite hassling when I clearly have it handled and am minding my own business.

Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.

imagine being on your lunch break, and your supervisor comes over to your table, tells you to stand up in front of everyone. they draw everyone's attention to your thighs. they tell you that you have broken the dress code because of the length of your shorts. they tell you to go change (so you do not get the rest of your lunch break). they do this every single day at lunch. every day. so you read the whole dress code front and back, and you choose your clothing carefully to not break it. you bring a cloth tape measure with you to work because they will not believe you. this time when your supervisor tells you that you're breaking dress code, you pull out your tape measure and show that you are within the limit. your supervisor says "I bet you wouldn't want me to bring you to the boss and let him measure it, would you?" it's clearly a threat: if you don't obey then you will be put alone in a room with your boss and he will touch your thighs. you don't know how to respond. you're taken out of lunch again.

I did hear there started to be a bit of a dress code after I graduated. Around things that were supposedly gang related. They also banned cloaks for some reason, which could really only have been that they didn’t like me personally (I wore one everyday).

“Oh but voting for ryland grace isn’t fun, cause ryland gosling-“

WRONG.

get that idea OUT. Ryan Gosling is a conventionally attractive actor. Ryland Grace is a nerdy stubborn fuckin little guy who formed a codependent relationship with a rock spider and is so dumb when it comes to relationships he went out for platonic dinner with his ex’s friend every weekend for years.

this man is not some blonde hunk from the front of a Calvin Klein advert. This is an awkward middle school teacher. He is a loser and i have a list on why.

Unironically said “whomp, there it is” while giving an impromptu lecture to the entire world’s leading scientists

his immediate reaction to seeing an alien was to dance horribly and see if it mimicked him

is aroace

if you don’t want him to be aroace there’s also markiplier

Or Stratt or carl or rocky or rocky and Adrian or mark fucking watney (it’s everybody)

There are currently 455 fics under the tag “ryland grace is a wet cat”

called a tube of gravy “better than sex”

named the medical robot Armando and thanks it

made rocky a paper hat for the top of his xenonite ball that said “savior of the world” and drew rocky lab goggles on his tunnel

wears shitty science pun shirts

wears his glasses so wrong it’s hard to believe they’re intact

Brought back hopecore and space and good movies all in one character

he is a loveable loser and deserves to win this.

Make the right choice!
