She/her

so there’s this older tv show i’m into 

(it aired when my parents were babies, it’s very much the kind of thing my granddad watches)

it’s based on true events, and like most stories based on true events, it fictionalises them a bit. characters are either fictional people playing the roles that real people played or are composites of real people

there is one exception to that, though - one character who is directly inspired by one real person. (they have the same name, it’s not subtle.) and the real person was actually a consultant on the show!

but here’s the thing. all of the fictionalised characters are, like, characters. they have quirks and flaws and foibles and political opinions. this guy, however…doesn’t. he’s bland as hell. he has no opinions and is completely neutral on all but the most basic politics. he doesn’t have flaws. he doesn’t have anything. he’s just blandly Heroic. and that’s prooooobably because they didn’t wanna piss off the real person this character was based on

so why is this in the doctor who tag? because that’s how i feel about the thirteenth doctor. poor jodie was trying her best, but thirteen doesn’t have the same kind of distinct identity like the other new who doctors. and i reckon that’s because dear old chibbers didn’t want to be blamed for making the First Female Doctor anything other than blandly likeable, so he didn’t give her a personality

it’s most evident in all the timeless child stuff, where everyone’s spending their time expositing at thirteen while she stands there making a surprised pikachu face. there’s no personality there, it’s all reaction, and not particularly interesting reaction either. and it’s such a waste!

"Watch a show" they said, "it'll be fun" they said

Everyone seems to not realize how seriously I end up taking stories I like. Well guess who got me to finally watch his gundams with him.

i Hhatched a shiny vulpix and i got so excited i went oto the kitchen to get apple cider

my friend took the ds and nicknamed him while i was away

@razzbarry came up with the idea for this comic ♥♥

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of “people also watched” and “for you” into the results. That’s not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

“I despise your wretched little games” perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

They also refuse to actually show the parameters you searched for. If you sort by “upload date,” the first few videos might be more recent ones by upload date, but anything past that you’ll find a video that was uploaded five years ago, then five months ago, then three years ago, etc, which—NO! That’s NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!! PUT THEM IN ORDER!!!

Also sometimes the “people also watched” bullcrap will not only be entirely unrelated, it will also be videos with violent, sometimes outright triggering thumbnails. I’ve gotten some AWFUL unrelated video thumbnails just when searching for video game music videos.

If you use Firefox this extension is god send :D

black rose but she has a parrot

the parrot doesn't talk but don't tell her that

LOOK at this sleeping jirachi i got. came with a lil beanbag to sleep on :,)

This is akin all those hot takes about the 2k bug being an hoax:

"Remember when they told us every computer was going to crash on 1/1/01 and there would be chaos and then nothing happened?"

Yeah, I remember. And I'm sure every programmer and sysadmin that contributed the billion person/hour global effort to prevent it also remembers.

No one talks about acid rain anymore, either. And that's a very good thing.

see also START and START II, which significantly reduced nuclear stockpiles

International cooperation is actually so effective that most people don’t even notice it happening, and then erroneously believe it can’t solve anything.

Fixing issues before they develop into actual disasters is such an underappreciated thing it hurts at all levels.

We don't talk about acid rain because there isn't any more acid rain because when acid rain started happening and we learned that the cause was mainly sulphur oxide and carbon monooxide from car exhausts, countries all over the world made it a law that car companies had to produce cars that produced less exhaust with better effectivenes (burning the fuel all the way to CO2 instead of the halfassed CO) and oil rafineries to remove the sulphur from the gasoline in the first place.

We don't talk about computers crashing because of the turn of the century, because thousands of programmers worked very hard to write updates and patches for Every Single Program humanity as a whole used back in 1999 and then somehow managed to failtest, distribute, and update every single device and system, be it an online or offline one before the midnight of the 1st january of 2000.

On a much smaller scale, no one ever commenta or notices cleaners and housekeepers doing their job - be it at home or at whole buildings - because they always make sure that there's nothing to notice. But don't be fooled - at any point of your life you are one week of them not doing away from swimming in trash and filth with nothing to eat and nothing clean to wear. Only then you would notice.

Now it's time to do that thing again and make sure that we don't kill our whole planetary ecosystem within the next century.

i definitely think minecraft won't be the game for everyone in the end and that's just how things are no problem but i do think *some* people who don't get the hype of it just need to play with their friends and build a house with them. its also for doing things like this.

the earliest recorded homestuck reference was made in the book of exodus when israel is referred to as the “land of milk and honey”

i just think it's neat that odysseus gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to avoid going to war and he can't do it and then agamemnon gets put in a position where he has to kill his child to go to war and he does it

HERE YOU GO BOSS

oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now

remember:

there’s no boycott on going to see new media

but there is a promotional blackout

don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them

I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.

prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo

don’t reblog their shit
