People need to stop trying to justify racism and bigotry by saying it’s “time accurate”. TF2 lore is NOwhere near accurate to real life, I mean, Abraham Lincoln was the first Pyro and invented stairs?? 🤨🤨 AND AUSTRALIA IS LITERALLY FUTURISTIC??????
And look at the mercs. You really think they are anywhere near cis and/or straight? 🤨🤨
Plus! As it was said in the above post, lgbtq people have always existed. Trying to pretend being apart of the community is a new thing is unrealistic and a harmful way of thinking.
anyway having “period accurate” bigotry in funny hat game fan content is stupid and erases the fact that lgbtq people have always existed
Refuse to believe that Sun Wukong would settle down by the Song dynasty. That's like barely after the Tang dynasty ended and you know Sun Wukong was not thinking about pursuing romance during the pilgrimage. This is a guy who, when trapped in the webs of desire and prison of love in the Spider Demons arc, became flustered and booked it two times the distance needed to escape. This is a guy who's managed to not speak of his first ever father figure Puti Shifu for AT LEAST 750 years. This is a guy who was soooo incredibly in denial when his old bestie Bull Demon King kept trying to say that their friendship was broken off. This is a guy who, every time he was banished or rejected, came home and told everyone to not speak of whoever or whatever rejected him. This guy compartmentalizes his feelings like crazy.
best part of princess bride is that inigo loudly and openly states to anybody who will listen that he's going to kill a guy for revenge and has been chasing this for a while and instead of anybody saying "but revenge wont bring ur father back are u really sure that killing this guy will make anything better arent u scared of regretting the one thing uve spent ur entire life chasing" they're all just like "yea dude sounds cool hope you find him" and then he does and inigo kills him and is just "aw cool my dads avenged now i can go ride off into the sunset with my friends" and i think thats actually really great. yea maybe revenge isnt always the answer but it sure does make you feel better
why does sans know the expressions of someone who's died anywhere from 1-10 times in a row
I went on an adventure today to return a pillow to IKEA with my coworker Astrid.
We were having a nice day and got stuck in traffic coming home. On the way her phone rang and she was driving so she declined the call with a sigh. “I feel so bad for him,” she said.
“You know that number?”
She did. It turns out her phone number had previously belonged to a woman named Serena. The man calling was her dad. He had Alzheimer’s and didn’t remember his daughter was dead, so he just called the number he knew was hers.
I was stricken to hear this. “Do you talk to him?”
“Yeah. Sometimes he thinks I’m her and we talk. I have a notebook with facts I’ve learned about her so I can connect with him better. Sometimes he knows I’m not her and I say I’m her friend.”
I struggled with the beauty and humanity of this for a moment. “What’s his name?”
“I don’t know; I just call him Dad.”
We sat in silence and I was overwhelmed with feelings. That she was so kind and thoughtful about this random connection. A man who called and spoke to her with love for the daughter he missed.
"One time," she added, "he called me just after I had a difficult day with my mom. I knew Serena and her mom had a rocky relationship so I talked to him about my frustrations with my own mother and he gave the following advice: ‘Everyone fails sometimes, even parents; what's important is to communicate with our loved ones, even when it's difficult.’
“I have never forgotten that advice and it healed a portion of my heart."
RULE NO. 1 OF WOUND CARE: ignore itttt :33
i feel like people often forget that medic is inherently just a weird ass dude.
like. the line between him and the ‘mad scientist trope’ traits is blurred but not invisible. He’s a mad scientist when he’s losing himself at a major breakthrough in an experiment or during surgery. He’s a funky dude when he thinks that the little bread monster likes him. He’s a mad scientist when he’s sewing the animal organs into the classic team. He’s funky when he’s shouting ‘HELLO FRAULEINS!!’ at the top of his lungs (a legitimate voiceline that he does have). He’s a mad scientist when he’s shouting ‘I am the angry bird god of the Badlands, fear me’.
The perfect mix of the two is when he’s crazy enough to lie to cheavy, but weird enough that it’s believable.
I wish to be perceived as “that thing over there”
Infatuated with weird gender vibes. Reblog if you have weird gender vibes, want weird gender vibes, are also infatuated with weird gender vibes, or would like to have your brain surgically wired to a biohorror mecha.
I love the dynamic that France and America have.
France is kind of like a semi-overbearing parental figure who indulges America. He's a child in France's eyes. When he hangs out with America, he's always a little overwhelmed by how energetic and brash he is, but he still tries to have a good time while also attempting to "mentor" him. America on the other hand appreciates France and his gestures. He subconsciously wants a father figure, but he sees France more as a mature friend who always has his back.
Okay, I know this is from the magical strike au, but I think it describes their dynamic really well. France puts SO much thought into his relationship with America. He's worrying about coming off as an old man trying to be hip, thinking he'll end up babysitting and cleaning up messes, and just generally weighing the pros and cons to attending.
Meanwhile, America is literally just like "hey dude, wanna play Minecraft?"
