A Tired Magpie

Killlll iiitttttt

(I had 2 characters in mind with this but honestly it's even truer for platonic friendships and I do not want to detract from that)

Is there anything more sacred than the love between himbos and muscle mommies

I cannot join the battle in person, but my spirit shall be with you all through my screen as long as the panels are broadcasted live 💪

Is the OCD being a bish again (and are your work colleagues triggering it on purpose by any chance because I am actually gonna confiscate some kneecaps if yes)

Which also reminds me how they had a cool thing going with his being an alcoholic in DF and that never directly got addressed, he's just. Not anymore? We could have FEASTED 😭

He was also, yk, a literal *kid*. Like for real HOW do people argue that Garrosh or ARTHAS did nothing wrong cuz they were young and "tried to make the best out of a crap situation" but then the child (whose mother WE murdered) we saw experience true despair at the fate of the world gets the blame

Like, Anduin thinking he's fine and fully recovered and walking right into a meltdown would work but we've been burnt once, not gonna try to make sense of the story before the writers do

I really, really hope this is just characters trying to be polite about mental illness and NOT the actual full image, because I am going to be a saltlady if he's robbed of a credible arc surrounding mental illness AGAIN (Shadows Rising, my beloved)

Extrapolating from that one hbomber vid, "And move where, NYP, the fucking ocean?"

*shakes fist at the sky* It should have been Hakkar, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HAKKAR! There's even a blood plague mentioned in King's Rest, WHERE WAS HAKKAR WHEN DAZAR'ALOR FELL??

NEW SHANDRIS MODEL YEAAAAAH BOOIIII

Like am I reading this wrong or something because the first 2-3 paragraphs aren't written as defeated or resigned like "disrupt Steam" as if it's an eldritch god communication channel (which also, hi capitalism bros, how's "free market and competition" going)

What the HECK does he mean "But ultimately, Goliath lost" like that's a surprise and not literally how the story goes???????

Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

I fangirl about Anduin a lot but genuinely his struggles seem very modern day masculine to mr: his work-life balance is in the dumpster and he bottles up his emotions until they explode. It's very much Varian but with the twist that he takes it out on himself rather than on loved ones

Shandris having PTSD in that one quest in Dragonflight was legit so good and makes me grieve what could have been

Hey, my socially anxious butt doesn't like getting yelled at for not standing together and then dying alone!

(I have never actually done ToV other than for mog runs so maybe my joke makes no sense, in which case ooops)

I don't have enough details to give a full analysis but the fact that a couple of the characters pissing on him are also just overall heinous people is hilariously ironic like how Sylv was written to only feel "bad" about mindcontrolling one twink in SL, not the entire 2 nations she slaughtered

- the Scarlet Crusade and being sort of a guarantor of safety for those who want to be reunited with their relatives, that's about the best arc I can think of for her

And ironically her being a "weird" kind of undead is what could make her understand the plight of the Forsaken more than if she were just a regular one precisely because she doesn't fit in. But she also has access to the Light like a living human (no searing pain). If she ends up reforming parts of-

I think the best possible story for Calia is literally this, her being the "bridge" between the living and the dead and not a (absolute) leader of either. She is neither dead nor alive, she is a royal but not legally allowed to rule (Lordaeron patriarchy)

Obviously the taboo regarding homosexuality comes from heteronormativiy that's so ingrained (like how you can post about your favorite 200 het ships but the moment you mention a gay one it's "speculating about characters' sexuality" and thus not allowed) and just. Why?????

Honestly, although I'm glad that at least the worldbuilding itself is a safe place for most queer people, I kinda wish we could have had an actual story dealing with homophobia so it would be clear that the chuds getting angry about 2 dudes potentially kissing would get called out by the game itself

WoW Reddit mods removing a random post about Valtrois and Stellagosa's relationship in less than 1 hour of it being up really drives home the fact that (parts of) this fanbase might just be the worst across big name MMOs and forum/community managers know it

STAND YOUR GROUND! -

I mean, STAND AS ONE, yes stand as one

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

I wish I had half the self-confidence MAGA has when they make atrociously stupid decisions

Don't forget reporting! They have already boasted about using Bsky as a potential blacklist & means to target and harm immigrants and other dissenters
