Catch me being a modern-day cyberpirate screaming up alongside you on the 405 in my mad max car with half a bitcoin farm’s worth of RAM in the backseat as I hack your Bitchless Towyota™ device and steal the boat you’re towing right off the back bumper of the tesla your dad bought you
As i roar into the sunset you have to swerve* to avoid the small flotilla of hacked Towyota devices trailing behind me
(*in fact you do not swerve because you’re on hands-free driving to go along with your hitch-free towing so you can only watch helplessly as your tesla mistakes your stolen booty for a small child and accelerates crashing into it and killing you instantly)
Okay so Noelle’s private post about Kris and Susie, yeah that post.
So I see a lot of people theorising that Kris replied back to Susie something like ‘what like you?’ or ‘like your mom?’ or something like that, which is a possibility.
However I saw one person on twitter suggest another possible reply that is even more harrowing in my opinion.
And that was “good.”
I’m actually more inclined to believe that especially because of Susie reaction afterwards.
If what Kris had replied was insulting I think she would just get more angry, but instead, Susie was shocked. Noelle said that her whole demeanour changed and that she backed off quickly , this is important, it indicates that was Kris said disturbed her.
I think that sort of reaction out of Susie would’ve come more from Kris indicating wanting to be gone, or some sort of agreement that their mum would be happy if they did so.
Noelle also mentioned that Susie is head was held low, which of course may just be because she was upset at what Kris said if it was something equally cruel. However, to me it also shows shame,
because she realised that she was picking on someone who already wants to disappear.
sunshiney characters who adore the mean grumpy character, platonically or romantically, but not DESPITE them being mean as if that isn’t who the other “really” is deep down. they love it. they think the other is the funniest cleverest most delightful person alive
if the sunshiney character doesn’t have to cover their mouth up trying not to laugh at every sharp comment, completely altering how everyone else thinks abt the sunshiney character, then what’s the point
The longer I look at this the more unsettled I become
You have to walk through the bathroom to access three of the four bedrooms in this house
One of those three is the only room with an en-suite bath. And it isn’t the master bedroom.
Wait the middle bedroom literally has no windows
This distance is ~20 feet and you have to tour the entire house to move from Point A to Point B
Building this house in the sims and timing how long it takes a sim to get from the master bedroom to the sidewalk to go to work (he misses his entire shift)
This can’t be real. This is a prank. No one actually wants to build anything this stupid.
This looks like the floorplan of a D&D Dungeon, where the DM wants the party to go through every room before they find the boss in the master bedroom.
Which brings to mind the fact that I always wonder about the in-universe architects who make RPG dungeons. Like, who makes a cathedral with five basement levels and underground balconies? What was the purpose of this labyrinthine space before it had monsters in it?
this is gonna sound like a shitpost but the best advice i have if youre consistently coming off wrong is to start talking like an elcor
you will feel like a dumdum at first, but once you get used to it youll realize that telling people what kind of thing you’re about to say ahead of time flattens their anxiety a huge amount
ive been starting every question with “question:” for awhile now and i almost never get people reading too much into what i mean anymore
it seems super dumb, but “what are your plans tomorrow?” gets people asking me what i have planned despite me obviously being in the process of figuring that out, whereas “question: what are your plans tomorrow?” gets me a quick rundown of their schedule, followed by “why?”
it also makes it really easy to work tone indicators into your verbal speech. if you’re always saying “question: [your question here]?” then no one blinks when you say “genuine question: [question that could read as sarcastic]?”
it also gets you out of your own way for any types of things you struggle to say. “can you make sure to do the dishes before you go to bed?” feels like an argument waiting to happen, but “request: can you make sure to do the dishes before you go to bed?” gets the words flowing on a neutral word while making it clear that you’re not looking for a fight
so yeah. suggestion: talk like an elcor
i said “suggestion for you if you havent thought of it:” today so im reblogging this
Useful addition: “this is not a guilt trip or moral judgement, just checking facts: have you done the dishes”.
Or “Just checking if I need to, have you done the dishes today”
Or “please do the dishes, Im not upset I just need a plate”.
Being clear about your intentions this way also heads off RSD or trauma-type anxiety, guilt, frustration, demand-avoidance, fear, etc.
Another phrasing useful for when you are emotional is “Im definitely frustrated, but Im not frustrated at you because I know you’re doing your best.”
Of course it only really works if you genuinely mean it.
The thing that gets me most about the original down with cis bus post that nobody ever talks about that makes me mad is that the narrator sounds so fucking detached. If a bus pulled up to me and my friend and ANY group of people just stormed out and beat us bloody until I used epic kung fu to stop all of them and rushed my friend to the hospital I would narrate it like an epic about how awesome I am, speak gravely of the horrors I saw, and maybe crytype a bit but this guy just goes “This happened. I was there.” And then gives the most A to B narration I’ve ever seen. They made such an over the top excuse to hate trans people and then sold it in the most uninterested way I’ve ever seen.
i thought weve been through this as a fandom, but i saw a post of my dash recently saying that agent 3/captain 3 “canonically and exclusively uses they/them” and anything else is “misgendering” them so as a they/them nb myself i must remind yall ahem
1. nonbinary people can use they/he/she/whatever it does not have to be “exclusively” they/them if they so chose
2. agent 3 and every subsequent agent Is The Player. they are not their own character, there IS NO “CANON” lol atleast not in the way we view it normally in fandoms
the other characters in the lore are npcs, they have set genders and pronouns, and the game acknowledges that the player could be Anyone and uses they/them for Every agent. they/them is a gender neutral set of pronouns, meaning they can represent someone who uses she/her if the person speaking does not know that yet, out of politeness. not everyone who is referred to by they/them uses those pronouns, thats the point
splatoons fandom is very unique in that we make content for characters that are. honestly non existent? like theyre us…but they also exist in the lore..
but theyre US yk??
not everyone who plays splatoon uses they/them, and therefore there is no “canon” set of pronouns. its whatever u want, u cant “misgender” a conceptual character lol
personally i view agent 3/captain 3 as nonbinary and uses they/she/he, but my agent 4 uses she/her. i am allowed to do that bc yk what? i said so its my copy of the game lmfao
