I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

I could absolutely use some luck right about now.
Sure why not
I could use some good luck...
overwatch is a silly piece of shit on its best days but its continued insistence that magic is real but only in japan is especially hysterical
hanzo and genji have haunted their hodgepodge of a narrative since 2016 with unambiguously magic powers in a soft-SF setting that went out of its way to conceptualise bogus technology like hard-light and biotics in order to fit its weirdness into some kind of "science" category. the fact they then didn't extend that consideration to hanzo and genji? they just left them as is? as witches? as fate-touched human vessels of ancient dragon spirits?? if genji wasn't a cyborg they could feasibly be minor sekiro bosses and that's weird dude!! and then kiriko gets released?? and these people had all the years in between ow1 and ow2 to find a way to hand-wave whatever weird shamanistic magic they accidentally let get into the game, and instead they make the only other japanese character a fucking spirit vessel as well. they doubled down. magic IS REAL in overwatch but ONLY on the BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS OF JAPAN, and no it's never ever going to be addressed because overwatch has as much coherent story as a themed puzzle page on the back of a kids cereal box. hysterical.
this also extends to the ability to wall climb
overwatch said if you are japanese you can do the following:
- contain within you ancient spirit magic with powerful destructive and/or restorative capabilities
- parkour
forgetting the fact that being a buddhist also gives you magic powers
zenyatta is specifically a civilian chassis but he can become invulnerable and throw balls at you
the point of overwatch is to say shinto-buddhism is the only correct religion i think
i spoke too soon they translated a line in a way i dont like
they made the feeling completely different!!! that was a load bearing line and now the meaning collapsed!!!!!!
also this line which isn’t as bad a change as the one above cuz the meaning is the same it’s just implied now but both times they ended up making him sound way less considerate than he’s actually being
drives me absolutely insane how often fgo na will make localisation decisions i think are really good whenever it comes to memes and colloquialisms and casual speech and jokes and puns but the moment there's a literary reference in the literary references game they drop ALL their fucking spaghetti. they become blind and illiterate. they simply do not see it. how are you a japanese to english localiser who has never heard of zhuangzi's butterfly before.
I'm referring to the scene in lostbelt 3 where koyanskaya is taunting qin shi huang with how their empire is just a lostbelt and they're like "yeah and?"
in japanese the line about dreamers unable to distinguish between dreams and reality was a direct reference to the parable of the butterfly's dream from the zhuangzi, which describes the author dreaming that he is a butterfly completely unaware that it is human, only to wake up and be human again, and doubting whether he is a human dreaming of being a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of being human. not only is this obviously referenced in qin shi huang's butterfly design and their insistence on being human, zhuangzi was also one of their contemporaries and quoting his work subtly shows that qin shi huang has already begun to adapt to the principles of panhuman history at this point. zhuangzi's dreaming butterfly is extremely popular imagery in east asian media so for a team of professional translators to not notice the reference immediately is kinda baffling.
We need to have a nomination for “Stupidest thing Tumblr.com has ever believed” and just move into an official Top 10 List.
For my nominations, I’m putting up:
- If you eat a chocolate bar a very specific way, you will break physics and get infinite chocolate.
or
- It is impossible that you spelled “Berenstain Bears” wrong and is, instead, more likely that the universe fractured into separate, overlapping realities in the last 20 years.
I can’t decide which is more beautiful. It’s why we need a vote.

this is a picture of the human brain at the moment of death. tragic and beautiful

Fuck. That is a damn good nomination.
if you close your eyes when the train hits your brain will assume you are dead. Some find this comforting.

We’re getting into the good ones now. This is some classic Tumblr.
Two old favourites:

This is rapidly becoming a master post of ignorances and I could not possibly be happier.

I can’t believe I was on Tumblr for every single one of these posts.
all the links on this post are broken and some arent given so heres a compilation of links for the stupidest things tumblr has believed (i tried to find the og post for most of these but some of them are posts/articles about said posts)
I was about to add “sweet sugar walls”, but it was literally the last addition.
MGM lion, and the “Tag your gore/pomegranate!”
Fucking hate when my friend is like “find me by the Toyota Cipreaux 700, should be easy” so I usually tell him “find me by the Lorenzini SV-0000927 street light, should be easy” and he’s like “WHO FUCKING KNOWS STREET LIGHTS BY MODEL?” and yeah exactly that’s what it feels like to me mother fucker all cars look like that to me
As far as I’m concerned, this is a Honda Sillyhoo Campero next to a Chevrolet Adidas Studhound.
“Tarnished, are we? A wonder you should turn up here. I am Sellen, a sorcerer, quite plainly. Why are you here?”
A sorceress found in Limgrave who teaches you spells. She is very enigmatic with a very interesting questline around her research at the Raya Lucaria Academy. Eme
