Necro

The only positives I got out of watching that movie were the reminder of how people in upper classes genuinely see themselves as being victimized by lower classes and the line 'you know I was a lesbian for awhile, but it was all too wet for me in the end. Men are so nice and dry'.

You ever engage with a piece of media and feel in your blood that the creator is a woman in her 30s-40s who was on fanfiction(.)net in the 00s and had excruciatingly mediocre taste in slash fanfic?

I'm talking about Saltburn by the way, which would suck regardless for other more important reasons.

Drove my sister home from work, as she screwed around on her phone she offhandedly said 'I don't get the appeal of modern horror games' before pausing for a second and adding 'you like mouthwash', presumably she's seen me talk about Mouthwashing online but hasn't absorbed much. Sure I like mouthwash

If you've ever felt that big mean unions go too far to make companies provide for their workers' safety, may I recommend looking into the Byford Dolphin accident? I dunno, something about reading the phrases 'explosive decompression' and 'gross dismemberment' tends to change people's minds.

Ok no I have a better way to explain it to people who don't go to cemeteries for the sake of it, it reminds me of those mass graves where people are all packes together in rows in one big impersonal grave like sardines but they sprinkled tombstones on the top.

Came this close to saying 'I hate military cemeteries, they're so lifeless'' but then I remembered that uh, that's kind of the point. A better way to put it is they feel soulless. I hate going to military cemeteries, it makes me feel sad. In like, a bad way I mean.

I love how easy to impress Gen Xers are, all you have to do is wear a Nirvana shirt and know enough to have a casual conversation about them, and then Gen Xers will think you're the coolest person in your age group.

Also would be nice if I wasn't expected to be uncritically pleased with any sort of favorable reputation no matter how clumsy it is, like we should be grateful for crumbs that may fall upon us like mana from heaven. And if you aren't you risk getting lumped in with weird ass transphobes.

It sure would be neat if the narrative of datv didn't refuse to treat Taash like an adult a lot of the time, thus making a good chunk of their storyline feel like it was written with a middle school audience in mind rather than adults.

I love seeing all the excitement about anglerfishes this past week!

Last week, researchers from the NGO Condrik Tenerife captured rare footage of a deep-sea anglerfish, Melanocetus johnsonii, in broad daylight—an unusual sight for a fish that typically dwells in the deep ocean.

Rampardos after a single Head Smash:

In my defense the impression I got from the ads was that it leaned more on horror than romance and the romance wasn't really romcom, which is misleading. There actually WAS another couple in the movie I think would've made it way more interesting if it had been from their perspective, but hey.

Welp, Heart Eyes 2025 was a big disappointment. More than anything it was a boring romcom movie with a boring couple and slasher paint coating it so it could capitalize on the novelty of mixing genres. I hate the vast majority of romcoms tbh so there's that bias on my part.

This has the vibe of someone crawling through the desert dying of thirst, hallucinating a puddle instead of an oasis.

a redraw of the yyh festival! 🎆 #yuyuhakusho

Some people just use top/bottom terminology the exact same way people in English fandom spaces used to commonly use uke/seme terminology. Like a copy and paste sort of thing since they can't get away with being as blatant about it as they used to.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Spite is a pissy cat with a house full of toys and treats to keep him satisfied if not outright happy and Justice is a jaguar stuck in a tiny enclosure with no enrichment who maybe occasionally gets thrown a scrap or two and has nothing to do other than pace around his enclosure.

Basically Spite is a pissy house cat that can bite the shit out of you and scratch your face off, Justice is closer to, I dunno, a jaguar or a mountain lion that could very easily kill you if it felt like it.

When Justice takes over Anders he basically rips control away from him like it's nothing.

I'm not saying Spite is easy to deal with, but if you told me I had to pick between him or Justice on the verge of evolving into Vengeance possessing me I would take Spite without hesitation.

Seeing how different it is when the spirit takes control signals their difference in power too. With Lucanis Spite is usually fairly subtle to the point where you may not notice after first. He can certainly have outbursts, but even then Lucanis can at least put up a fight.

Spite is about pettiness and justice/vengeance is about a deep conviction over unfairness. Spite gets to constantly satisfy his 'purpose' by killing people who try to hurt him and Lucanis but Justice and Anders are stuck in Kirkwall constantly stewing over how powerless they are to help most people.

I don't think it's fair to compare Anders and Lucanis' possessions and go 'Anders sucks at keeping control of Justice, look at how much better Lucanis is at it' bc spirits and demons have a hierarchy where the deeper and more profound the emotion they're associated with the stronger they tend to be.

alright TikTok kids I will now be dispensing advice on how to get rich and start a side hustle. step one: while your loser peers are partying at the club, you need to start locating sources of raw uranium and building a stockpile for future enrichment.

step two: Lasers. now the government says don-

I do appreciate that they kinda tried to remedy this a tiny bit in datv, Emmrich and Harding have banter where they talk about him and it turns out Dorian studied under Emmrich for awhile, but apparently he wasn't terribly respectful about it.

If you're a Dragon Age mage and your identity doesn't at least partially revolve around the type of magic you specialize in, honestly what even is the point *cough* this is about Dorian who despite being a necromancer almost never talks about it outside of the mage specialization side quest in dai.

Im rooting for all knights/bodyguards who are in love with their charge/the one they are sworn to protect

When he says ominous shit like 'oh yeah my faction is SO GOOD at keeping dangerous secrets :)' you get to be in on it too. It's great.

Obviously the Mournwatch origin is the best one in Veilguard for many reasons, but one of my favorites is how you get to bond over being a weird morbid freak with Emmrich. Also he tells you secrets about national security despite hardly knowing you that he won't tell you if you're any other origin.

Guess I'll try this bluesky things, but right now my brain rot is mostly Dragon Age and Dynasty Warriors-focused.
