Lotr Cast Commentary

I think a lot of the discourse on here, esp about intra-community issues, comes from the perspective of people who are a part of pretty insular leftist queer communities and assume everyone else engaging w their writing is too. so you have stuff like “white trans people are celebrated when they come out” or “everyone wants to fuck transmasc genderqueer people” as statements people are making, which are very very true in some cases from within these really insular communities but seem like you’re blogging from another dimension to people who like, live in small town Iowa.

Whenever I look back on the early episodes of Avatar: the Last Airbender, I realize that Iroh was probably acting a little ridiculous on purpose. He knows that Zuko still has fresh emotional wounds from his cruel, uncompromising father and sadistic sister, and the one source of softness and warmth in his life, his mother, is long gone. Iroh always tried to be a friend to Zuko, but now that his nephew has been scarred and banished, he tries to be goofy and funny and carefree so desperately hard because all he wants is for Zuko to smile and relax again.  If making a fool out of himself is what he has to do, he’d do it a hundred times over.

wow!!

oh my GOODNESS

gotta do it to ‘em all

I don’t know what you’re talking about, Coppy is beautiful.

hey, folks, upshot about tumblr’s april fool’s day prank:

if you click the “executive suite trial”, you’ll go to a fake “executive suite” tumblr. it’s vaguely funny and you can esc out of it.

but this will also bring up a cartoon of a copy machine named “Coppy”, who appears to be a parody of “clippy” from microsoft word. this cartoon has flashing lights and is constantly in motion. it will also “talk” to you with a lot of text balloons in comic sans, which are deliberately designed to be ugly and annoying.

you cannot get rid of coppy.

if you hover over it, there’s a red X; clicking this will only cause it to “waddle” offscreen and, less than a second later, pop up again. it will not get rid of the cartoon.

if you are not interested in having a flashing, moving cartoon that is deliberately designed to be annoying on your screen all day with no hope of getting rid of it, do not click the “executive suite trial.”

Yes. These bastards (and actually the whole Sheikah design) is based on the japanese Jomon pottery.
