sometimes I forget that 10 25 is a homestuck number so I would like to say happy homestuck Day to anyone else who might forget! if you don’t know why, 10:25 was the timer time AND 4.13+6.12=10.25, among other things! let’s end the idea that we can’t explain jokes to people!

I was realizing recently that my need to be the best at everything I do is really just a desire to find some position where I can’t be judged.

This is also why I procrastinate.

I love both you girls for the same reason, is what I’m saying.

you gotta strongarm urself into feeling secure Failing Correctly, like: having thoughtfully tried without panicking, putting in a rational amount of effort without blindly causing more problems than you solve, asking for help, and recognizing and recategorizing tasks neurotypicals give you that actually ARE impossible and which they just want to see you put some mild effort in at, and won’t judge you poorly for not finishing/will judge you more highly for having nobly and loyally picked away at NO MATTER YOUR RESULT because they told you to.

A lot of RSD task problems just need a different perspective; most people suck and can’t get anything done. They display respect for superiors and win points by doing THEIR best, even if it isn’t useful let alone perfect, because what they’re demonstrating is compliance–they can be trusted to do what they’re told. They might have been mostly (horribly, painfully) imperfect or useless on this or that task, but they prove by “"trying”“ that, in the future, when conditions are right, they’ll get something done THEN without squandering luck or resources. It inspires others to provide for them better next time because they’ve actually won, in turning in failure or imperfection, by showing that they exerted reasonable and sustained effort and didn’t give up. It isn’t about just the ONE task, which usually isn’t RSD-style life or death or shameful-exile important.

You can fuck up every task you’re given for a long ass time and you’ll keep getting chances if you keep “trying” reasonably and sub-catastrophically, because your shortcomings will be attributed to an unfortunate lack of support from others (not trained right, lack of access to correct tools/materials/software) so long as you bring YOUR part, a patiently iterating “effort.” Displaying THAT is unassailable and judgement-proof, especially if you ask for help/clarification when convenient for others a lot!

PSA if your house is haunted

if you experience the following:

  • lightbulbs being unscrewed
  • things ‘walking’ off shelves
  • doors opening/closing at random
  • things that are propped up falling over

ask yourself: do i live near a truck route, railway, subway, or earthquake zone? if so, you can bust the ‘ghost’ by regularly checking loose items and nudging them back into place, tightening bulbs, and using doorstops. problem solved!

but why would you want to piss off the ghost of a truck, it’d be so much stronger and louder than regular ghosts?? im not risking it

if you are haunted by cargo transport vehicles of any kind, you can appease them by putting out a dish of 10w-30 on the doorstep

as someone who has experience in these things, whipping your dick out and jacking it is literally the best way to be rid of a ghost. they feed on fear and negative energy. Continually engage in power moves, angrily, at their expense and they will shrivel and die. Walk up to the ghost truck and stick your dick in its ghost grille and say “yeah lemme get some of that cold cold Ghussy” (the ghost truck will know this to mean ghost pussy) and so you have banished the spirit by making it realize that it holds NO power over you and never will.

Also get a carbon monoxide detector. Both because your ghost shit may actually be a carbon monoxide leak AND in case the ghost truck or train attempts to leave its ghost engine running in the house to kill you.

but what if the ghost truck is like

into it

i think we can all agree that fucking a ghost truck is the ultimate power move and you ascend to a higher plane of sexistance immediately, rendering you invulnerable to all ghost, truck, and atmospheric damage

Diana Prince sweeping people including me off their feet

Ugh. This exact shot comparison had Margaret Atwoods “MALE GAZE! MALE GAZE!” alarm going off in my head when watching the Justice League trailer.

Slow mo panty shots are not the best way to use your female characters.

The framing of this is so lazy. Its such bad directing that it really highlights how blessed we were in Wonder Woman. It could have been the hot mess that is Justice League.

Dianas whole body vs Dianas butt centre frame.
Seeing the hit vs Did she get him? Can’t see, because BUTT is taking up whole screen.

Patty Jenkins used her slowed moments to do 4 things at once

1. To give the viewer an easier time following fast action sequences in the dull dc colour pallette.

This negated the ‘transformers effect’ of blurred blah hitting something that was batman vs superman. Marvels colour pallet allows for bright red guy, bright blue guy, big green guy to move through chaotic screens easier because the colour draws they eye and makes it easier to follow.

2. To emphasise Diana’s super strength.

By slowing down before the impact we feel the HIT harder when time speeds up again. In the Justice League trailer we don’t even really see the hit. Is that a guys leg? Did she get him? The slow mo in Justice League is used to have more time to focus on the panty shot, to make sure you didn’t miss your chance to sexualise her. It doesn’t even speed up as she hits. Its more like a cat knocking something off the shelf. Not that you are looking at the hit, it is barely in frame because we need more room for the Butt.

3. To show the difference between real time and relative time.

For characters like the Flash, Supes and Wondy they all perceive time differently from regular mortals. This allows for bullet dodging and other shennanigans. Slowing time down, gives us a glimpse into how they percieve time. You can focus on a body part but it has to be the part of them that is using that slowed time. Thier face – Are they strategising in extra time? Thier hands – reflecting bullets or moving something. Thier Butt – yeah, I got nothing.

4. To show what characters are feeling during fast paced combat scenes.

Antiope’s slow mo jump gives us time to see the satisfaction in her face before she shoots the soliders. Multiple times in Wondy we see Dianas joy, fear or determination in a fight thanks to slow mo. This happens because when you frame her whole body as much as possible we get to see her face and body language. The slowed time gives us a chance to interpret them without constantly having to insert closeups of her face, breaking up the action. It gives Dianas fight scenes a presence lacking in other Superhero films.

When I saw this the Justice League trailer the first time my disappointment lingered for days. My main take aways were “The Flash seems charming but his outfit is soooo bad” and “Ooooh boy, they don’t know how to do Wondy.” It didn’t help any that I watched the Justice League trailer and the Thor : Ragnarok trailer back to back. If we really wanna look at disappointing comparisons, look no further.

i understand that ao3 staff have bigger problems on their hands like wrangling code and dealing with harassment campaigns and planning their next vacation but it is VITALLY IMPORTANT to my personal enjoyment that they add one feature and it is this: when looking up an australian character, there needs to be a ticky box to only filter for fics written by australians

junkrat is not a bogan, he’s a derro, also an ocker ratbag, acceptably a larrikin and/or dag, definitely scungy and a bit of a hoon but not a yobbo. i hope this clears things up, thank you for your time

hey quick question what the FUCK does this say

approximate translation:

junkrat is not a trashy working class guy, he’s a guy who looks homeless and possibly is, also a stereotypically Australian type of asshole, acceptably a prankster and/or well-meaning dork, definitely gross and a bit like the kind of guy who drives fast cars yelling for fun but not the kind of loud dumb delinquent who goes around picking fights and trashing things.
